Marco Rubio likes EDM — but he wants conservatives to know he's no raver.

Rubio squirmed when Anderson Cooper asked him if he'd ever been to a rave at the end of a CNN town hall in South Carolina Wednesday night.

“No! I’ve never been to a rave. No. It’s a Republican primary, Anderson," the Miami native said with a laugh before insisting he's "a little too old" to have hit one up. He also said he likes listening to it with his kids because he's less likely to have to worry about the bad words in the beat-heavy genre.

Rubio went on to declare his love for '90s hip hop, choosing West Coast over East Coast.

No word yet on whether he prefers Tiesto or Disclosure, though his comments that he prefers clean lyrics probably rules out Major Lazer.
