These kind of parties are still happening. At least in Europe this is still a thing.
I’m in my thirties and have been involved with these kind of parties for at least ten years.
A general trend that I have been observing for years though is what usually is being referred to as „TikTok Guys“. This involves guys and girls in their early twenties wearing fetish outfits and doing lots of drugs.
I don’t care about people coming in fetish outfits to our parties but I don’t want some young guy overdose on one our parties. In practice this means that we have been much more careful about who knows when and where a party is happening.
This is still how we do it in Mexico, but instead of the woods, its in a Arroyo, wedged between a mountain and a beach. Good stuff.
These parties existed in England in the late 2000s. I went to a few, and they usually resembled a zombie apocalypse.
No idea what the UK rave scene is like these days.
Gen≠Z here, and that does sound like the best party ever.
I wasn't a raver but I went to a couple, and wow, what a time. There's nothing quite like the smell of a diesel generator and the sound of earth-shaking bass surrounded by dancing zombies inventing dance moves on each beat, deep in a pacific north west forest. I had a few of friends who were into that scene.
