Coffee Raves Becoming All The Rage With Gen Z In Singapore – CoffeeTalk

Coffee raves are redefining the way Gen Z parties in Singapore, offering a caffeine-powered daytime clubbing sesh. These events are part of a growing wave of alcohol-free, Gen Z-driven events gaining traction in Singapore and elsewhere in the world. At a recent event in Singapore’s trendy Duxton district, the space was jammed by 4:00 pm, with baristas churning out fancy coffees and DJs spinning back-to-back sets. The crowd grooved with energy, even without the usual liquid courage.

The atmosphere at these events tends to be quite energetic, as caffeine sometimes can do that too. The parties blend curated music with specialty coffee served in white paper cups. The vibe is light, friendly, and very Gen Z. Esther Low, 31, who was at the event in Duxton, said that she would prefer this. Several reports say Gen Z is chugging fewer pints than previous generations, with the sober curious movement gaining popularity on social media.

Sober curious people cut back on drinking or abstain altogether, often citing health reasons and better mental acuity. The World Health Organisation said in a 2024 report that changes in alcohol use have been observed in population surveys and cohort studies. The coffee clubbing events are usually held in cafes and other spaces such as rooftop bars, as long as there’s room for DJs and baristas to do their thing while people dance.

Besides the health benefits of avoiding alcohol, the events appeal to cost-conscious youth in Singapore, one of the most expensive cities in the world. The excess drinking and hard-partying ways of Gen X, fuelled by anthems like the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right (to Party)” and hip-hop videos glamorising club culture, are fading for members of Gen Z.

Organizers hope their combination of beats and brews will keep the dance floor buzzing, as long as they bring the vibes.
