People insist that the reason they go out to afterhours clubs:
- Is not DJ worship
- Is not to hook up
- Is not to show off
- Has nothing to do with drugs or alcohol
So what is it then? Oh, you go for the music? You can listen to that music at home. It's different live? Sounds a lot like the DJ worship angle now. Oh, right, it's the "crowd". But the crowd is actually pretty sketchy and you'll meet a lot more interesting and friendly people playing a sport or a game of poker. Hmm, you say it's the "vibe" now. Starting to sound like drugs might have something to do with it then...

I usually agree with you, but you're way off base here. I'd argue with you, but I'm too lazy, so in point form:
- club sound system > my sound system
- it's not so much individual people in the crowd, as it is the crowd's energy. It's kind of like how it's hard not to laugh when everyone in the room's laughing.
- the above point adds to the vibe, it really doesn't matter if the vibe is drug-induced or not, the point is it is there.

OK, I get it, it's the combination of all those different factors. But you know, those factors are all influenced by the vast majority of people who are there just to find a fling or get mashed out of their gourds. That's just the way it is.
These constant rationalizations and hatred of the "other side" are every bit as tedious as the whole "why I absolutely adore prog/tech/electro/minimal now" queerboating. Everybody does just about every activity for the same reasons: to feel good about themselves, to meet other people, to get laid if possible, and to have fun. There's NO difference in anybody's motivation; the only difference is the degree to which all of the other extraneous crap is stripped away.
But go ahead and keep talking about how disgusting it is. I'm sure it's very comforting when you come home at 6 AM, tired, sweaty, sketchy, and alone. It's fun once in a while, but if that's what you do every week, you really have no right to claim superiority to the "regular" clubbers. |
Very well said.

I pretty much dont agree with anything you're saying, but i'm not about to explain anything else, because you obviously dont get it.
