I love going to shows and raves but it seems like most of my friends don’t as much. It started out as a huge group but as we’ve grown older a lot of us moved or into other things.I live in SoCal and hitting up the ookay show tonight! Anyone else going?

Not necessarily helpful to you right now but check out some of the smaller shows in the SoCal area. A lot of the more underground stuff has an older crowd depending on the genre. Could be a good way to meet people your age who are still interested in going to a lot of shows.
The afterhours ones? Yeah I usually go to those as well!
Yeah those, but not even necessarily afterhours events. Just the more niche shows in general. Warehouse shows and such. I guess I don't know how old you are but I regularly see people in their late 20s and 30s at those shows, and it's definitely not unusual to see people in their 40s or sometimes even higher.
Hmm I see. I’m 28 years old. Been into the whole rave/club party scene for 10 years now.
Gotcha. I'm mid 20s myself but I have plenty of friends in the scene your age or older. If you like house music, check out the events on the calendar that u/frajen linked and look for the events with a TBA location. You'll find a ton of people your age at those usually.
Damn bro, I know what you mean. I'm 24 and it seems everyone used to be so fun and just more willing to go out. I guess life gets in the way eventually. Idc I love music way too much.
Wait until youre 40--that's when it really gets hard to find people to go out! I don't care, either, though--I'll never grow out of it, and I enjoy hitting up shows solo. Not in so cal tho
Where in socal?
I live by echo park
Damn I'm in SD. Countdown tho
I was thinking of going but I think imma go to snow globe this year!
Same. But I don’t let that stop me from going to raves. Lately I’ve been going solo. Luckily, I’ve been meeting other cool people and making friends. At the end of the day, you do what makes you happy.
Yeah I’m still gonna go no matter what but sometimes it’s cool to have that squad also!
Are you going to Escape?
As someone from the Texas panhandle, I feel you on this. It feels like I'm the only person from here to Austin that loves EDM and raving. I do have a few friends that like it but aren't able to go as much as me, and even a few that are willing to give it a try, but more often than not I end up going alone.
That being said, one thing that I love about raves: even if you have to go alone, just go!! If you're there alone, find someone around you and just say hi! Ravers/festival goers are by far the friendliest and most accepting people I've ever met as far as group settings go, you'll make friends there with about as much effort as it takes to tie your shoe!
I'd rave with you but saving myself for escape. In L.A. area. Into it all.
Perhaps next time!
