    I guess it says a lot about the Lemmy demographics but it’s getting really sad that every time something about nightclubs appears here, there’s a whole bunch of people explaining why they don’t like night clubs.

    I’m assuming Lemmy trends towards a more introverted group and that’s cool. But I’m here not caring about Linux or Baldur’s gate, while at the same time understanding that it’s very important and interesting to a bunch of people.

    I’m an elder millennial. I spent a shit tonne of time in clubs, as did the majority of people I know. I still did other things in places that were more quiet, had conversations and met people. It’s true guys - you can actually like both!

    I went clubbing to sometimes meet boys, but mostly to drink and dance to extremely loud and often very commercial music, sometimes on drugs too. Because people, that kind of activity is really fun to some people.

    But these threads always read like a Boomer pile on on a Facebook post, yammering about how they played outside as kids and walked to school.

    The reason younger people aren’t clubbing as much is cost. That’s it. Talk about that. Not how you think it’s an interesting take that clubs are loud and dirty.
