Should raves be 21+ only? Or are older ravers conveniently forgetting how young they were when they joined the scene? In Episode 96 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, the crew debates whether 18-year-olds really belong at raves, whether younger attendees are actually hurting the experience, and why so many ravers seem to hate 18+ events. We also break down the controversy surrounding Zingara and the Riddim community, the rise of sober raving, the uncertain future of Electric Forest, festival fence-hopping, and some of the biggest conversations happening across rave culture right now.
Are 18+ raves actually worse, or have older ravers just become the people they used to complain about? Let us know where you stand in the comments!!
We hope you enjoy this episode, and make sure to SUBSCRIBE for more unfiltered conversations about EDM, festivals, and rave culture every other week! 🔔🤍
