Looking for some fellow ravers

Let's unpack it. Why do you feel the need to even call out "drama" and then pin it to an "other" such as the younger generation? My dude, drama arises from your involvement and judgment, not other people bringing their issues into your world.

It's time for introspection. I deleted this from my original comment, but "no drama" is something that I hear mainly from misogynists who feel that "drama" is confined to immature femmes. Like, if it's just you and the boys, along with your internalized misogynist women friends, then it's all good. But it's not good, because it's really your perspective that is the problem.

As a 40 year old raver, my advice is to just show up prepared to take care of yourself and others. If your vibe is right, people will gravitate toward you and you'll make friends on the dance floor. Instead of seeing other people as potential sources of drama, look for ways that you can help the situation - a hug, a snack, an extra little light-up object for them to play with. Be generous, a provider and a soother of souls.
