Inside a matcha rave, where Gen Zers go wild for ice-cold brews, sober partying, and getting home at a reasonable hour

• I attended a matcha rave in Singapore at a nightclub in the middle of the afternoon. • High on strawberry matchas, sober clubbers partied hard to remixes of songs by Tyla and Bad Bunny. • Most people I spoke to said they wanted to be in bed by 10 p.m.

When I heard about a 4 to 8 p.m. matcha party in Singapore, I expected to see millennials dancing in brunch outfits.

Instead, I found a packed nightclub, smoke machines, and remixes of Bad Bunny and Tyla songs that were making perfectly sober clubbers go wild at "Matcha Rave," a sober daytime clubbing event organized by Exposure Therapy, a Singaporean events company.

On Saturday, I attended their second session, a sold-out party at Rasa Space — a bar, restaurant, and nightclub in the city's central business district. Tickets cost 20
