If I dressed up like Neo from the Matrix, do you think they'd let me in?

Bouncers should screen based music tests. Or maybe that would only replace one form of elitism with another.

Depends, how gay would you look in that outfit?

Hmm good question. Probably a 5/10, where 1 is Teddy Roosevelt and 10 is a gimp suit.

It wasn't the answer you were hoping for was it jack?

You called, I raised, you lost.

It's very interesting though to see that you needed to attack because you felt so threatened by the mere discussion of say, dressing better than a night on the sofa, or appreciation of design.

Fascinating insight in to your psyche.

The simplest of discussion in to materialistic things, even suggesting an appreciation of people who try to make an effort when going out (god forbid) is enough to intimidate you to the point of lashing out with a poorly formed slur against the person rather, than the subject matter at hand.

*It's OK to like nice things*. Even nice clothes or nice venues or good looking people. You're going to be swimming upstream your whole life if you can't get to grips with this. No one will judge you and you. Or are you another one of those boring pained writers who can't admit a fancy for the trappings, for fear it may compromise your desperate attempt at a (psuedo)proletariat existence?

For someone who travels a fair amount, you still have a lot of growing to do. A little more acceptance would make you a broader person.

Ah, yes, because if there's anything that complaining about people not being dressed up exhibits, it's acceptance.

Yes, I'm mightily intimidated. Given this discussion is about dress codes in clubs in different parts of the world, I was wondering where exactly you go out and what kind of DJs are playing because these things tend to give a good indication of what kind of people turn up and what kind of party ensues. The kind of club you're describing is usually antithetical to "fucking great music", at least in my experience of clubbing in various places around Europe.

This is some novel Slychoanalysis. I must admit I was expecting the standard Jay-esque interpretation that I'm just poor and jealous. Instead I get the inverse - apparently I'm a deliberate class-slummer feigning poverty for authenticity.

The truth is more prosaic, unfortunately, stemming simply from the fact you have a habit of turning every discussion, whether about street art or clubbing, into a not-so-covert dick measuring exercise. I'm sure it makes you feel fantastic to let everyone know that you can afford to "own and pay for nice things", but to me you just end up sounding like this.

Jesus why did I unblock RANN? Do people like that actually listen to themselves when they talk? Good lord.

*puts RANN back on ignore*

Arguing over dress codes? Fuck yeah.

That's the gear I wear to a club too.

I wear spandex body suits.

I posted the part about self preservation from that monologue on my FB last year on Valentine's Day, and I don't think many people understood what I was doing, lol.

Once RANN had returned home from yet another club whose standards of entry had disappointed him, he noted meticulously in his diary the fashion faux-pas he had observed on his night out. Brands, cuts, and probable prices included.

O tempora! O mores!

Ha! A year or two ago I made a joke on FB about returning video tapes and had a number of people private message me asking if I seriously still rented VHS tapes.

I wonder if RANN has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses.

Probably not queer enough, gonna need at least a 7 I reckon. Maybe try some lipstick?

Had an incredibly tiresome Friday. Was on a train-ride back home from 1 to 11 pm after going to my aunt's funeral. Died at 45 due to cancer. Damn shame, having a 12 year old son and all that.

Over here you have your typical douche-bag clubs where they require dress-code (shirt at least), but the more underground clubs let you in with jeans + t-shirt. I personally stay out of fancy places where people go with the sole intention to show-off. Not really my cup of tea.

Out of sheer curiosity, what's the dress-code like in clubs such as Fabric and other well-known places in the UK? If I ever visit, I'd like to know what to pack.

Pretty much identical to what you've described for your own country.
