The Prodigy is a British electronic dance music group, formed in 1990, known for their blend of rave, techno, and big beat. Emerging from the UK's underground rave scene, they quickly became one of the most commercially successful electronic acts of the 1990s. At the time of "Music for the Jilted Generation," they were solidifying their status as mainstream crossover stars, moving beyond their hardcore techno roots into a more aggressive, anthemic sound.
