Why? Would you like to go to one?
So what does a typical Friday or Saturday night consist of for someone in their late teens / early 20s?
What are the options?
In the 0's & 90s there were raves, house parties
80s & 70s discos,
60s concerts with dancing or get-togethers in pubs, cafe's or trip to the nearest seaside town for Mods & Heavy Rock enthusiasts, also Northern Soul dances up North, the older generation had "dinner dances".
50s, "Rock & Roll" dances.

I was watching bands in my local boozers Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays from 2002/3 till a couple of years before covid, basically. Everything took a nosedive after covid.
Now I put the bands on, we mostly get people my age or over. I jock some metal nights, usually on a Saturday, and we get younger crowds in for those. Experimenting with different types of bands to try to harness that some more. It's true that things have changed a lot.

"Community" has moved on-line, hardly any bands or genre /image/ tribal identity, just individuals doing collaborations.

I had . .. . a revelation, or 2.
The new sounds, lyrics and images/styles that were coming out in the late 70s onwards just needed to be celebrated, who wanted to stay at home watching dead-beat TV when you could dress up, look good, get in a car, turn the music up and drive to socialise, sing, dance, drink a bit etc.
The fact that new electronic instruments were freely available and many of these bands came from towns we all knew inspired people.
The fact that many people's fathers has a shed / "man cave" where they were creative was part of the psyche. Youth wanted to prove themselves better than the previous generation. Of course fame and money was a draw for some. If you had attitude you could so it . .. someone else in the band could bring the talent.
