Who killed the rave? Late-night dancing falls into global decline

This rings in Minneapolis. The midwest definitely has a solid, consistent scene for house/techno/electronic with DJs bouncing between Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago for sets.

The demographic is definitely millennial, with maybe ~25% being Gen Z.

It's also definitely not... popular. The biggest nights have a _way_ smaller turnout than college bars or city clubs. I'm not sure how strong the crowd actually was 10-20 years ago, but these clubs aren't in the mainstream appeal. Maybe from lack of marketing, maybe taste+preference.

Created an HN account just to ask... what are the entry ways to know what sets are going on in Minneapolis? The person you replied to mentioned Drop Bass Network and Chicago Redline, both of which have easily follow-able accounts. Anything like that in this area?

I'd recommend Backyard Boombox or House Proud for shows in Minneapolis.

+1 house proud. Funny seeing it on this website haha. If you see a tall thin guy likely in a sweater/hat, say hey to me!

Like the other person said, house proud is probably my favorite. If you see a tall thin guy likely wearing a sweater and hat, say hey to me!
