DIY punk fest: a house gig/vegan backyard BBQ in the afternoon, bar gig at night, party at some local house after. Whole thing costs like $30 and there's actual free time between shows. There is also absolutely no corporate involvement and is done through people putting up their own money they worked for to fly in touring bands, they lose money and are basically managed by doing fundraiser shows throughout the year with local bands.
But naw, the stranger that gives you Nbomes while you listen to a dj in a field you dehydrate yourself in once a year sponsored by Redbull is Family.
What you describe sounds like half of the goa parties i've ever been to and there's tons of techno and house events that are also not these hyper-commercialized hellscapes. After decades in various sub- and countercultures i honestly don't see much difference between the DIY punk scene and DIY electronic music scenes, while i also do not see much difference between some corporate rave and Vans Warped Tour. It's perfectly normal to have both of the former in the same squat project, and it's perfectly normal for Red Bull to sponsor both of the latter.
I don't know if I've ever been to a rave that was sponsored by anything. The last one that I regularly went to was next to a river up in the mountains with people hanging out on giant floaties.
This is such a generalized simplistic view its hilarious. Ive been to punk shows where people have been near beaten to death and small festivals that have been quite cozy and friendly.
Not to mention large sections of the edm scene literally revolve around illegally occupying space and partying all night, it rules.
It's the treating it like this transcendent experience and being haughty about it. When I go on a bender I don't pretend it was enlightening and encourage others to do the same.
