Dubstep? Techno?
I'm in my 50s, and that'd draw me in.
Have you tried some PowWow Step? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RUcnImJglw
No, that's new to me. Pretty cool, except maybe the audio engineer could tone down the volume of the screams early on? It gets much better as the track proceeds, but that first bit really killed my ears.

I'm 50 and went to a live concert of theirs. It was fantastic.

The movie Friday.

Trans people? Black people? The right for women to vote? Public transportation? Personal accountability?
Hey, now - not all of us old folks turn into assholes, ya know. I'll give ya it seems like a majority have, but there's still a decent percentage of chill hippies, Gen-X, and such around that are good folk.
