Technoparades generally have a carnival atmosphere,{{cn|date=October 2023}} where social rules (and some laws, or at least their enforcement) are at least loosened, and sometimes broken outright.{{cn|date=October 2023}} An atmosphere of chaos and tolerance prevails{{cn|date=October 2023}} as bystanders dance to the shifting sounds of successive vehicles rolling by them:{{cn|date=October 2023}} the music blasting from one vehicle blends into that from another,{{cn|date=October 2023}} which can mean a sudden change of dance style in the area where the spheres of influence overlap.{{cn|date=October 2023}} The music coming from two sound trucks overlaps with approximately equal intensity,{{cn|date=October 2023}} and people can dance to either of two competing [[rhythm]]s.{{cn|date=October 2023}} In the technoparade subculture they call this the ''Verwirrungsgebiet'' ("[[overlap zone]]") by analogy to a concept in [[radio frequency engineering]].{{cn|date=October 2023}}

The street allows for a type of dancing that would be literally impossible in cramped German [[nightclub]]s{{cn|date=October 2023}}, and the breadth of some people's dancing is further exaggerated as they throw their clothes outwards.{{cn|date=October 2023}} Some in the crowd generally climb up to any high point that can possibly be scaled, more and more as the event continues.{{cn|date=October 2023}} The spirit is usually continued at after-parties in the local nightclubs{{cn|date=October 2023}}, sometimes including unofficial after-parties at venues having no official connection to the parade.{{cn|date=October 2023}}
