, but if someone else feels comfortable doing so, hey - more power to them. Live and let live, man - do your thing, and let everyone else do theirs.

i dont think u could ever be too old to listen
to any edm....
u can be too old to go to clubs tho
ahh screw it
I feel just as uncomfortable there as he would and I am thier age. I say screw it tell him to go and if the kids make fun of him then tell them to go screw themselves.I definately think older people at raves get treated better than old people at punk shows and probably better than at bars (although im not sure as i turn 21 in 2 months)
I know im probably just soundin dumb like everyone else but I go for the same reasons your friend wants to.I go for the music and I say screw the scene.People are gonna be dicks no matter what even if he was thier age.
i think it's kewl when older ppl attends parties, as long as they're not old pervs, which most of the older ppl I have seen at clubs have been :/
30-50 older people? Wow, _now_ I feel old!
As for dancing, perhaps you can't teach us old dogs new tricks? Those of us who first learned to dance to (the original) House, New Wave, Synthpop and Freestyle probably won't fit in no matter what we do. Too much old muscle memory to overcome, not to mention the joint replacements and receding hairlines 
When you see an old man trying to cross the dance floor, do your cub scout best and help him out, OK? 
Should we shuffle out only on retro night? I don't think so but how you feel will depend on the individual. It can be odd to party with people who are practically or even literally from a previous generation.
Should be interesting though. 60-year old rockers are still touring but will 60-year old DJs still be spinning in the future and will there still be a place from which they can buy their (record) needles?

I dunno man. I am a recent convert to electronic music and EDM in general and I'm about to turn 50. I would personally love to go out to one of these club/events and perhaps even dance with Molly for the night but I'm a bit concerned with how I would be recieved, but yeah my concerns are somewhat assuaged by the fact I can easily pass for mid 30's
Without naming names, I do sometimes wonder about the nature of some of the older DJs who play cheesy music for kids.... Hmmm

Well, I'm 47 and still love EDM. I've been a big fan of John Digweed's since I was in my 20s. I listen to his podcasts on my iPhone as I bike to work. (I just wish he would continue doing them!) So, do I feel too told to listen to Trance or EDM? Hell no. Do I feel too old to go to Electric Daisy? Definitely. However, I would consider seeing Digweed or Sasha at one of their NYE events in Los Angeles, but that's probably about it unless I went with a group of folks (some younger; some my age). LA is tough on any women over 25.
I wonder how many folks who posted in this thread still listen to EDM.

He was always a bucket of entertainment, even when he went full on frontal attack because I used the word "fucking" too much 
My generation started this whole thing. So, you're never too old.
When I first listened to Electronic music, it made me feel something Wonderful! I was in the party scene then (about 14 years ago). Since then I have married ( 10years now), have a 2 year old beautiful daughter and have been out of the party scene since 2003-2004. I still listen to Electronic music everyday and enjoy searching & finding new sounds / mixes (even though I prefer the older 1998-2003 tribal house).
I'm not into the club scene anymore. I do miss going to see a headliner spin (Sound system & maybe hear some new raw in the moment mix). I was telling my wife the other day that I would love to see someone open up a club that would have a amphitheater type setting. Catered to more of a chill scene, being able to sit, listen & watch. Of course have a small dance area away from the viewing area. But that's just wishful thinking for me (Live in US- Ohio/NKY area= no good clubs= have to travel 5-6 hrs to see a good show).
Another positive thing that's happened lately, is that my daughter starts dancing every time I play electronic music in house or car (she already likes dancing with lights= I'm in for some sleepless nights lol)
So, needless to say this Electronic music is part of my life & always will be!! It keeps me going!!!
