# Rave-Ready Grannies The Techno Grandma Knows How to Throw It Down By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-12-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/techno-grandma References: [theworldsbestever](http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2009/12/03/lunchtime-laughter-423/) & [funnyordie](http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/00508d28ff/techno-granny) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitness-rave) when a [beat-loving senior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-us-the-finger) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Elderly Ravers:** Increased presence of elderly individuals at raves creates opportunities for age-inclusive events and experiences. - **Intergenerational Culture:** Blurring of generational lines in cultural behaviors creates opportunities for new forms of community building and cross-generational engagement. - **Reimagined Aging:** Positive representation of aging and elderly individuals challenges ageist assumptions and creates opportunities for innovation in industries focused on older demographics. ### Who This Affects Most - **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. - **Entertainment:** Intergenerational culture creates an opportunity for entertainment industries to cater to an increasingly diverse and fluid audience base. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seniors-Only Cocktail Launch Parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/definitely-over-21.md) - [Convention-Challenging AC Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windfree.md) - [Grandma-Inspired Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-couch-2-rivalry-lo.md) - [Club-Culture-Inspired Cheese Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-rave.md) - [Retiree Influencer Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retirement-house.md) - [Rewarding Dance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-dance-club.md) - [Immersive Digital Raves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibody-club.md) - [Casual Gaming Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brannboll.md) - [Grandmotherly Lunchmeat Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-buddig.md)
