From Inclusivity to Exclusivity:How Pricey Sections, Colorism and Social Media Hurt Nightclubs

[@Lovelyti_TV]

The club scene is dying and here's why.... leave your thoughts and don't forget you can support by going to lovely-tees-2.creator-spring.com/ or lovelytea.net or cash app: $lovelytitv thanks in advance

[@truthspoken8567]

It’s not even just the club scene. It’s everyday life and jobs too. Middle aged and older people don’t like to socialize either. In Chicago many people of ALL ages and races act very weird. They stare in people’s faces. Try to laugh in people faces to get a reaction, but don’t genuinely speak to others. It takes two people to socialize and communicate. Most people don’t understand that and have a mentality of thinking people need to talk to them. I don’t like these people version of socializing it’s very toxic and does nothing to enhance human interaction or togetherness.

[@lamoskgr]

Wait til you go to South Korea. People over 30 aren't allowed in the clubs. Ageism taken to another level!

[@Reighn234]

I think ppl stopped clubbing because of shootings & drive by shootings. We decided having a good time is not worth our lives. Back in my time (same age as Ti), the most we had was a fight here or there.

I was born in 95, was 21 in 2016 and even then it was a room full of sweaty people dressed in designer awkwardly standing around, girls trying to get into a dudes section, only dancing is twerking.

The ladies went to Forever 21 or a similar store and bought a "Going Out Top", Paired it with some jeans, put on some sparkly earrings and some heels. The heels only lasted about half an hour before they switched into the backup flats they kept in their purse. They kept a hair tie on their wrist or in their pocket to instantly pull their hair up when they got too sweaty for dancing. The men put on freshly ironed pants, clean sneakers and had a fresh shave. Everybody left the club looking like they just finished an hours long aerobics class!

Lastly. It's really us men. Most act too hard to dance. The other don't know how to accept just a dance and do too much or scare the women. Or they just don't approach women fr anymore.

Some years ago, a group of about 5 black girls who were denied entry into a famous London club where Karreuche Tran was making an appearance went to the press with their story. Only white and ambiguous women were being let in and when asked why by the girls, the black bouncer was very open and nonchalant about the club's 'no black/dark girls allowed' policy. Karreuche (surprise surprise) declined to comment. Not even one word of condemnation, but what would one expect from someone who dates a colourist? The story died down because the British public weren't bothered and the club continued to operate.

Im not a club person and went out of peer pressure in like 2010. I just couldn't believe people were literally back to back, shoulder to shoulder dancing. And it really looked like they didn't care who they were dancing with. Then a girl brought out a bottle that was shooting fireworks! Now you have people dancing on each other with fireworks falling on them. I can definitely see why people love it, but it was too much for 17 year introverted me.

I think the downfall of clubs was mostly the social media/Netflix and chill culture, covid, and shift toward special events/exclusive events like festivals. I also think helicopter parenting and fear culture make young adults less likely to want to go out late at night.

Exclusivity culture definitely killed the club culture. In my city colorism played a huge part. Uppercrust clubs, even if black owned, made it very obvious that they preferred non-black or ambiguous women in their environments. Often times this came at the request or preference of black athletes or other wealthy black men. Thank God for Latin, carribbean, and African clubs who don't get into that and still know how to party.

[@justyb2209]

Yep, the clubbing days are long gone. Back then there were over 3k clubs you could go to in London. Places like Leisure Lounge, Blag Club, Bagleys, Velvet Rooms, Fridge Bar, Club Colosseum, Plastic People all gone, thanks to housing developers, gentrification, cross rail & Covid. Between 2020 & 2023 1,110 clubs have closed down. I went to Jazz Cafe on Saturday & walked straight out. Music was 💩everyone’s either taking hundreds of selfies or standing by the wall looking like they’ve been dragged in by force. I feel sorry for young people, they’ve been robbed 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@aniya_hill1922]

Honestly, we can blame all of this on the phones. Once I deactivated all of my social media accounts I became more present in social events. I’m not worried about getting exposed because I dance funny or trying to give a guy my Ig, or to impress people by posting on my story. It’s been liberating

[@kamilahdouglas1609]

Nobody talking...just alot of staring 😑 Also the DJs do too much talking in between songs or they'll play a good song for a few seconds and switch it with a crappy song.
