Now I am long divorced, Stella got her groove back and I think I want to do a rave but am I too old for this lol. Someone tell me the damn truth.


Also, am I a nerd if I wear headphones cause I low-key have noise sensitivity issues but still want to be there. I promise I can and will dress cute/slutty. That I can do

Should worry about if your to old to attend, worry about the money you’ll need to spend. Heard it could be a bit expensive!!
Just saying!

You’d be surprised, old people still go to raves. You won’t feel alone.

First off you're not old at all!

Second, wear the headphones.. you would make anything look good.

You’re not missing anything

Raves in the early 2000s were amazing
The ones now are no longer the same
And not safe

I would never go to one now

That era is over.



Glad you got your groove back
You should travel
To different countries

Now that’s fun

ive worked a few.

No more.

Never paid to go to one and will never. And headphones wont kill the physical audio you feel for 8 hours. You cant escape it and I had the ability to leave the main areas and go backstage

Last was Fisher at Moscone in SFO.

Cant pay me enough to work another one.

And its a constant stream of super hot people thowing up and passing out.

Medical centre is a stream of triage.

And they do it to themselves ( in most cases it seems)

Just my 2c - im sure some people luv it.

I agree with KIRa those days are over.

Early 2000 raves I feel were underground, intimate and lawless peace. Today's raves I feel like festivals and more visual spectacles.

...Yes travel!! get out and visit different countries. Sample their food, wine, or what ever that country has to offer. Your FREE .. Be Safe and Be Well.

Raves sucked, crappy boom-boom techno-garbage noise with idiots pretending to have fun. You should have been alive during the late 1970s and early 1980s of the first wave LA/OC punk rock scene. It has been downhill ever since.

Never too old. Dress, look the part and own it. Feel comfortable, beautiful, and desired and you will rock it. I would also say go the the Netherlands or Sweden, the rave/edm music is off the hook.

You should go and wear ear plugs not headphones. Dress like you want and flash some flesh and bush

I'm on the KIRA and elay95 wagon on this one. Done the rave thing and wasn't never my jam. Touring other countries is the bomb. But don't let that dissuade you from doing it though. It will be an experience none-the-less and you can check it off your list of "been there done thats".

I don't think headphones would be an issue - you do you!

There's also an option to using "Loops". Check it out: https://us.loopearplugs.com/

I missed the rave years too when I was young because I was a dork or I still am! 🤓 So if you’re looking for a fellow rave newbie to go with, I’m down. 🙋🏽‍♂️
