This is hoedown erasure.

Anyone wanna take this girl to the hoedown?

Prefer a revel, but then I'm old fashioned

The Replacements and Jools Holland don't have shindigs or soirées, they have Hootenannies.

I'm a hoe for box socials

knees-up or nothing

well i can't remember or find the name of the bluegrass music gathering i went to at a community center in far eastern rural kentucky during college, but i did find out that as of this year they're doing quilting group that is explicitly welcoming to femme, non-binary, and trans people, so that's cool too.

I prefer an affair, a function, or a reception.

I myself am partial to a nice getdown

I'm not a native speaker and I can't tell if this entire thread is taking the piss or if this is about real things

Hoedown, hootenannies are for youngins, and shindigs make my old shins ache.

I prefer hoe-downs

I prefer to boogie oogie oogie till you just can't boogie no more

Hootenannies are great with some powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon but I'm not waiting 25 minutes for a pancake

I'm partial to a wang dang doodle, myself. But different strokes and all that.
