The "Second Summer of Love" refers to a cultural movement that emerged in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom, particularly associated with the rise of acid house music and rave culture. This period was characterized by a sense of freedom, unity, and hedonism, as young people gathered at illegal parties and outdoor festivals to celebrate music and dance. The movement was influenced by the earlier Summer of Love in 1967 and was marked by the use of ecstasy (MDMA), which enhanced the experience of music and social connection. The Second Summer of Love played a significant role in shaping the modern electronic music scene and youth culture.
