Is it possible to go to a Steve Aioki concert if you're over 50 and not look like a predator?

I have the opportunity to go to a SA concert next year but I'm old and Grey. I don't want go if im the ceeepy old guy. Thoughts? I do know and enjoy a bit of his misic.
No one cares how old you are as long as don't act like a creep. When I was going to shows and raves early 2k, there were still old heads going with parachute pants and beads. Don't know now after COVID, since I've seen videos without PLUR and becoming more of an influencer show now.
57I'll dust off my finest Hawaiian shirt, I may have to go to Goodwill to get my parachute pants back though.
25Fuck yeah! Have fun, friend!

Hell, Aioki himself turns 46 this month... I think you're overthinking it.
35I don't think you'll have much of an issue. He started getting mainstream success over 10 years ago, and he's in his 40's.
32There are always older peeps in rave, festivals, concerts, discos... no one cares, and to be fair, I don't think most people in communitiy would take kindly to ageisim. Enjoy!
20- Have fun, publicly and obviously
- Be clean and dressed not too far out of the norm for the fandom (according to the subculture norms, not familiar with the artist in question)
- Don't approach anyone with any kind of sexual hints, even if ambiguous
- Act like you know others will make fun of you for being a creepy old guy, show you own it
16Go with confidence my friend
16Is everyone a bot in here?! When did he change his name to Aioki???
10By the way.,.yes, we're all bots... Go deal with your captchas, human.
7Would you prefer that people referred to the guy as the Benihana kid?
4Lol a bot would have spelled it right. I'm leaving my mistake, and basking in it.
4I mean…
1Lol I was just going to google it

Keep you eyes on the show and not the kids?
6I saw him at a festival years ago and the crowd was quite mixed, I don't think you'd look out of place at all.
6Yeah.. dudes been active since the 90s. Is his crowd considered young?

If Band Maid can fill a venue with 40 to 50 year old dudes banging their heads to a group of girls in maid outfits playing rock and roll, you should be fine at a Steve Aioki concert. Just don't act like an actual creep and no one will care.
4Just don’t act like an actual creep and no one will care
Never have I heard a more naive statement.
1The EDM scene is usually pretty inclusive. If you go there as an older man and just enjoy yourself and dance you'll be fine.
If you leer at women and get handsy you'll have an issue.
7Go to better concerts then. I'm a regular concert go-er and at the shows I go to, most people just keep to themselves and concentrate on the show. If you're not acting like a creep and not bothering anyone, nobody will care if you're a 50 year old attending an EDM concert. If people think you're a creep at every concert you attend, then maybe it's a "you" problem.
