Was just in Bushwick late last night and there were a ton of people out even after 4AM. And it was raining.
Do people who hangout in Bushwick after 4 AM usually have cars or something? I can't imagine schlepping to the Bronx, Staten Island, or residential areas of Queens and Brooklyn via a convoluted bus, train or even Uber journey at that time.

Absolutely not! For the most part at least. Most of the people I meet either live in or near the neighborhood, Manhattan, or are tourists.
And when the L train is running, which is surprisingly is right now, the commute to or from Manhattan is so easy.
This is roughly where I was last night, there were so many people outside even in the bad weather.
What kind of music is going on and is there dancing ? Is Club/House music still the norm ?
It depends where you go. There are places that play house like House of Yes, Mood Ring, and Bossa Nova Civic Club. The smaller bars mostly play rock, aside from the Latin ones which seem to play mostly reggaeton.
And nearby Williamsburg has big house/techno clubs like Output, TBA, and Schimanski.
Nightlife in NYC hasn't gone anywhere, it just shifted forms.
I just wonder who these people are, it can't be a very large neighborhood that could support so many bars. In the Bronx there is one bar/lounge max per square mile. I understand the Myrtle Wyckoff area is similar to the Bronx, only one person I know lived there, because its mostly food manufacturers, bean curd mills, similar to Hunts Point or College Point.
Most people, know very, very few people who live in Bushwick or Manhattan, unless their parents were able to get into Chinatown or the LES housing projects. It is very hard to get into Chinatown unless you've been there a while, and the local people are being gentrified into Staten Island.
One of my former classmates was able to get into Bushwick NYCHA, otherwise, most people I know regardless of nationality, are living on Staten Island, Mt Vernon, places like that or with their parents in Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. By Brooklyn I'm talking about places like Mill Basin and Flatlands Avenue. By Queens I'm talking about like St Albans.

It has plenty of bars because the neighborhood demographics support them. And a lot of people come from other neighborhoods too to hang out.
Myrtle-Wyckoff is the Bushwick/Ridgewood border and it's mostly apartment buildings on both sides with businesses on the commercial strips. Bushwick in general is mostly lower income Hispanics but there are quite a few white gentrifiers now. Gentrifiers of various backgrounds, actually.

Well I keep seeing events that I am interested in there such as metal gigs but am afraid of the train and bus being problematic after midnight. I've experienced that sadly in Manhattan which was a major problem.
Being stuck on the platform for a long time and then the trains not working correctly. How would the neighborhood demographics support a lot of bars unless it's massively high density?

To my knowledge you live in the East Bronx, getting from there to Brooklyn is going to be a pain no matter what without a car. And even with a car most likely. But the late night transportation in Bushwick is pretty good, the L train is now running late night but with a modified schedule. The M runs as a shuttle after a certain time.
Bushwick is absolutely high density. Just take a tour of the neighborhood, it's made up overwhelmingly of 3-4 story apartment buildings. Easily rivals the South Bronx in terms of urbanity.
It's never going to be like the 90s where you can walk around NYC and find nightlife and parties after 9pm. Today it is still only limited to the connected and some spots but it's not like you see lines of people going to parties like the 90s.

It can't be that bad.
