I feel like it's always been the same to some extent, capitalism is just much stronger now and globalisation (of merchandise and information) mean there are much less regional/country specific movements.

It's still easy to find niche groups, the signal to noise ratio is completely fucked though

Are raves still a thing?

I'm a big fan of moody ambient electronica, but I can't imagine anybody pogoing to it.

What do the kids dance to these days?

Are there still mosh pits?

All of this still happens, you just have to look for them. Kids dance to whatever they want, have a look at any social media, they probably dance more than ever before.

Kids don't go to mosh pits but these still happen. There are raves year round all around the world, from electro to death metal

Maybe you got too old and/or just plain disconnected from the new youth culture(s), it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Yes.

Various.

Yes.

Whether it is more or less, like say 20 years ago, I could not tell, but I would say it is more divers today. Less strict defined scenes.
