ARE UNDERGROUND RAVES MORE TOXIC THAN FESTIVALS?! | I'M PEAKING EP. 89
from I'M PEAKING · host I'm Peaking Podcast
In episode 89 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we get into the ongoing debate between underground vs mainstream rave culture, the rise of festival fence hopping (and why it’s becoming a real problem), and whether the scene is starting to lose what made it special in the first place. We also talk Coachella chaos, Levity vs Sabrina Carpenter, AI-generated music creeping into EDM, and the bigger question: does the crowd matter more than the DJ? Plus, a real conversation on harm reduction, naloxone, and why looking out for each other is what keeps rave culture alive.Let us know in the comments: Are underground raves more clicky than festivals… or are we overthinking it?
