Firestarter

In 1996, The Prodigy blasted rave culture into the mainstream with “Firestarter,” a ferocious big-beat anthem. Keith Flint’s snarling vocals and punk energy shocked some and thrilled many, as he declared himself the firestarter over pounding electronic beats. The black-and-white video — Flint wild-eyed and menacing in a tunnel — became an unforgettable image of ’90s rebellion. The track shot to #1 in the UK, marking a defining moment when electronic music showed its aggressive edge to the world.
