I hear the same thing about New York and to that I wonder:

1) Do people actually like these things

2) or are they a just a way to virtue signal their cosmopolitan bona fides to the other graduates of selective universities?

Perhaps I'm just an unsophisticated public school grad, but I've never met anybody that actually takes part in these things even when they live in New York, etc.

I'm sure I'm less sophisticated than you are. I wouldn't consider the university I went to selective by any means. But I have had a lot of friends that are musicians, and with that came a lot of hanging out with them at random venues, and from there going out to hear live electronic music became a dominant theme of most of my life in SF. Whenever I find myself back in San Francisco who's playing there while I'm around is one of the first things I look at.

Your friend circle must be pretty non-diverse then.
