Feel Paranoid at LA Clubs

Enough of my ranting....with all the problems in the world why wory about what happens in a freakin' club of all places

Theres alot of assholes who go clubbing in LA. Sucks, but thats just the way it is, usually they're buying the most drinks and paying full price to get in...

Originally posted by RichardRoma Hello again everyone, I just wanted to say that whenever I party at the big LA clubs (Avalon, Spundae, Vanguard, etc) I start to feel uneasy. It seems like everyone is staring each other down. I've noticed people huddle together within their group of friends and seem to pass judgment at other people in the club. For example, if some guy isn�t so good at dancing you'll see people snickering away in the back. Or if you see some guy really "messed" up again you see laughing away. While I don�t like to get "messed" up I can understand if some people want to take some drugs or whatever and have their own pleasant experience for the time being. Basically it seems like we're in high school again. You remember those times...how can we forget I mean we just passed those years. Yes adolescence was fun but you have to admit the stupid little cliques in highschool were rather immature when you think about it Why can�t everyone just respect other patrons in the club. If they might not have fashionable "clubbing" attire...so? If they dance awfully...so? As long as no one is physically harming you why can people just respect each other. Isn�t this the essence of EDM? Why do we have to pass judgment on other people who might be different? What you think you are superior in some way b/c you act "normal" at these clubs? This is my biggest complain against the LA scene. I guess it has to do with the town we live in...Hollywood...the Mecca of superficiality If some person comes up to me, and even if he is �messed up�, and he says hi I welcome this�I don�t go off snickering with my group of friends

while i dont disagree that these things do happen, why does it matter if people want to pass judgement or not? thats their perogative. im not saying its necessarily right but dont bother worrying about the stupid shit in life such as this! worry about things that matter. such as your well being. your safety. your future. your gf if you have one. your friends. if someone doesnt like you move on.

Feeling paranoid is normally a result of cheep drugs, I suggest you find better hookups

You don't get any of that BS at CIRCUS. It's probably one of the very few clubs where you can come as you are and just be yourself.

I'm surprised you feel that way at electronic clubs. It's usually the "Hollywood" clubs that play hip hop where I feel everyone is looking at each other and trying to act cool.

it would seem to me that they're just masking their own insecurities, but honestly why would it matter?

the next time you feel this way, do this... look at them & see for yourself if they really have the right (so to say) to be judging other people

but in all reality, i dont see it!

ive gone to Avalon & Vanguard a million times & each time im there i meet new people, sometimes a lot, sometimes not, but cool people nonetheless

i had a friend who thought the same way almost everytime we went out & evenutally i had to tell him "it's all in your head"

cuz it was, way too para for anyone's good

I command you to get rid of the THC.

It's a club...keyword CLUB. One step away from a wooden "no girls allowed" sign out front. People want to be special, and the more "exclusive" the club or good the hookup, the better people with no lives feel

Sounds like you went on a bad night.

I don't pay attention to these things at all. I just go to have a great time with my friends and enjoy the music and drinks. Screw what everyone else thinks.

Exactly...

im a dork... the EDM scene is the only place where i can release my inner-dorkness...

but what i really like about the EDM scene (regardless of place), is that i can tell myself, "fuck em, they just dont feel it like i feel it"...

however, i do sometimes wish the washing machines would turn it down a notch... no disrespect to style of dance'n, but it gets a little annoying when someone is bump'n into me and mess'n up my cloud 9

Making fun of people is every Angelinos God given right. That said, the only people I make fun of his people that can't handle their shit. If you want to go out and get fucked up, go nuts I like to do it too. But I also respect people around me, so I'm not going to get out of hand and ruin everyone else's experience. THOSE are the people I can't stand.

to the original poster

go to something like v2o on a thursday night and then avalon will definetly not seem so bad

Isnt that what clubs are. A group of people getting together for a fun time and conditionally looking down at other groups of people. Isnt it the same at Mc Donalds or a Theme Park. Welcome to Being Part of American Society? You could just say 99% of society doesnt believe in PLUR. You should go to a Hip Hop club with your mentality lol. You might come out crying.

I actually agree with you here.

I think the guy who posted this thread is just a paranoid person, in general.

i'm surprised your even alive

go start a fight with those people who stare you down then?

and oh yeah, welcome to socal!

♪ I always feel like...somebody's watchin' me! ♪

heh - if this guy feels like this at Avalon/Vanguard/Circus his head would explode at Area/Privilige/Les Deux LOL.


i was reading an article about DJ AM in the NYTimes a couple of days ago. actually a really good read. a quote from AM that still has me thinking about after a couple of days:



After nearly 15 years of playing professionally in clubs, he finds them changed. To him, most places are no longer about dancing and having fun. �They are a tangible representation of what I like to call the universal lie,� he explained. �It�s a place where people pull up in their Porsche, show off their new Marc Jacobs bag or jewelry or, �Hey, look at me in V.I.P. with five bottles on my table.� All this stuff means I�m someone in God�s eyes. But that�s the lie.�

Though he is part of the machine that keeps club life humming, he perceives it with a clear head. And he says he�s not tempted to hop back onto the hell express. �I get to watch people fall down and puke on themselves,� he said. �Or watch the liquid-courage guy who weighs 120 pounds try and beat up the bouncer, or the coke girl who�s like� � he worked his jaw and slipped into a Valley Girl lilt � � �AM, can you play this song?� �

�No,� he said dryly, �I can�t play that song.�

Circus isn't like that ^.

If someone stares you down and talks smack. Just tell them to walk over to La Cienega and go clubbing there because no one gives a fawk here.

that's when you dance with your hands over your head, elbows out a bit right on head level

EXACTLY.

Well, my response to this is that it's all perception. I don't feel it, 'cause I don't see it, 'cause I choose not to. I go there for the purpose of socializing, enjoying damn good music, and having a good time. Why should other people's realities affect mine?? Loosen up and have a fucking good time! If you don't give a shit, paranoia will just see its way out .

Hey thanks everyone for your comments!
I will try my best to not pay attention.
