There are conflicting accounts about the origin of the term ''acid''. One self claimed account by members of Phuture points to their own "[[Acid Tracks]]". Before the song was given a title for commercial release, it was played by DJ [[Ron Hardy]] at a nightclub<ref name="cheeseman">Cheeseman, Phil. "[http://music.hyperreal.org/library/history_of_house.html The History Of House]", Music.hyperreal.org</ref> where [[psychedelic drug]]s were reportedly used.<ref>Bidder, Sean (2001) ''Pump Up the Volume'', Channel Four – see also the first episode of the accompanying television series</ref> The club's patrons called the song "Ron Hardy's Acid Track" (or "Ron Hardy's Acid Trax").<ref name="cheeseman" /> The song was released with the title "Acid Tracks" on Larry Sherman's label [[Trax Records]] in 1987. Sources differ on whether it was Phuture or Sherman who chose the title; Phuture's [[DJ Pierre]] says the group did because the song was already known by that title,<ref name="cheeseman" /> but DJ Pierre says he chose the title because the song reminded him of [[acid rock]].<ref name="reitveld">Hillegonda C Rietveld (1998) ''This Is Our House: House Music, Cultural Spaces and Technologies'' Aldershot: Ashgate. {{ISBN|978-1-85742-242-9}}</ref> Regardless, after the release of Phuture's song, the term acid house came into common parlance.<ref name="cheeseman" />
Some accounts say the reference to "acid" may be a celebratory reference to psychedelic drugs in general, such as [[LSD]], as well as the popular [[club drug]] Ecstasy ([[MDMA]]).<ref name=oxford>''The Oxford Dictionary of New Words'' (Knowles, Elizabeth [ed], Elliott, Elizabeth [ed]). Second Edition, Oxford University Press, 1997. {{ISBN|0-19-863152-9}}.</ref> According to Professor Hillegonda Rietveld, a researcher specializing in [[electronic dance music]], it was the house sensibility of Chicago, in a club like Hardy's ''The Music Box'', that afforded it its initial meaning. In her view "''acid'' connotes the fragmentation of experience and dislocation of meaning due to the unstructuring effects on thought patterns which the psychedelic drug LSD or 'Acid' can bring about.<ref>Rietveld, H. C., ''This is Our House: House Music, Cultural Spaces and Technologies'', Ashgate Publishing, Aldershot, 1998 ({{ISBN|978-1857422429}}).</ref> In the context of the creation of "Acid Tracks" it indicated a concept rather than the use of psychedelic drugs in itself.<ref>Rietveld, H.C., ''This is Our House: House Music, Cultural Spaces and Technologies'', Ashgate Publishing, Aldershot, 1998 ({{ISBN|978-1857422429}}), p. 143.</ref>
Some accounts disavow psychedelic connotations. One theory, holding that ''acid'' was a derogatory reference towards the use of samples in acid house music, was repeated in the press and in the [[British House of Commons]].<ref>[https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm198990/cmhansrd/1990-03-09/Debate-1.html#Debate-1_spnew6 Quoted in the British House of Commons ''Hansard''], March 9, 1990, column 1111.</ref> In this theory, the term ''acid'' came from the slang term "acid burning," which the ''Oxford Dictionary of New Words'' calls "a term for stealing."<ref name=oxford/><ref>Rushkoff, Douglas (1994, 2nd ed. 2002). ''Cyberia: Life in the Trenches of Cyberspace''. {{ISBN|1-903083-24-9}}.</ref> In 1991, UK Libertarian advocate [[Paul Staines]] claimed that he had coined this theory to discourage the government from adopting anti-rave party legislation.<ref>Staines, Paul (1991).
