The Techno Grandma Knows How to Throw It Down

— December 4, 2009 — Pop Culture
I have a pretty cool grandma, she can drink me under the table and she is well under 5ft (not to mention the pack of smokes she inhales a day). Anyway, I think this techno grandma may have her beat (not really, but let’s just say she is).

It would appear that a group of young whipper snappers captured this footage of an outdoor rave when a beat-loving senior wandered in and made everyone’s day. When I am that old, I have every intention of laying down moved just like dear Techno Grandma.

Trend Themes

  1. Elderly Ravers — Increased presence of elderly individuals at raves creates opportunities for age-inclusive events and experiences.
  2. Intergenerational Culture — Blurring of generational lines in cultural behaviors creates opportunities for new forms of community building and cross-generational engagement.
  3. Reimagined Aging — Positive representation of aging and elderly individuals challenges ageist assumptions and creates opportunities for innovation in industries focused on older demographics.

Industry Implications

  1. Event Planning — The rise of elderly ravers presents a new market for event planners to cater and create events that are inclusive of all age groups.
  2. Entertainment — Intergenerational culture creates an opportunity for entertainment industries to cater to an increasingly diverse and fluid audience base.
  3. Aging Care — Reimagining aging presents an opportunity for the aging care industry to innovatively meet the changing needs and expectations of an evolving elderly population.
