Northampton and Easthampton are the best towns for this crowd imo.

Western Mass is a bit of a "patch work" in that you can attempt to generalize, but you'll find traveling between towns is still your best bet.

Still, if you wanted to attempt to find a "one size" that fits most, I suppose Amherst, Hadley, Northampton, Easthampton, Westfield, and perhaps West Springfield may be OK.

Amherst. Northampton. South Hadley has a Disney-esque centre. East Hampton is on the up but I don’t know it well enough. Western Mass is super cool

Yeah, definitely check out Cottage Street in Easthampton. It’s not exactly wild and crazy, but there’s some lively bars and good music

For a youth oriented environment I'd go Northamton for sure.Greenfield and Brattleboro are also good but very small and little to do.Amherst is ex hippies turned uptight yuppies and not much party spirit unless your a student on campus.

For sure go NOHO
