Music's tips for scoring an invite to all of this year's seriously cool ragers include scouring social media secret party locations ("Someone is bound to tweet or Instagram where the event is, or even post a location tag when they arrive") and creating makeshift wristbands ("Tons of people are constantly going in and out of a party, so a bouncer won't look twice if you just quickly flash your janky wristband and rush in").
