yea I dont go out anywhere near as much as I used too.
I can't say that I miss it either. Why? Mostly because (imo)
(1) The crowds here are .
(2) It feels like it's the same ty djs playing the same ty music playing the same ty clubs.
I'd rather not waste my time here and just off to somewhere that I REALLY like a couple of times a year. |

That sums up EXACTLY how I have felt for the 2008 year. I duuno, ever since this year started I have really just cared less and less about the club scene (esp in nyc!!....) and WAY more interested in doing other things.
I really only go out because there are certain people I want to see and thats my only motivation anymore. Same with coming to Toronto. There is just so many other things to do in this city (nyc) and other cities and I am finding them way more entertaining. (ie: going to the NYC Food and Wine Festival coming up.....SO much more exciting to me now than a night at Pacha!!) LOL!
What perfect timing for this thread, since I was sorta feeling alone with this! :( |

Montreal hasn't had a thing on Toronto's scene for a few years now, with the exception of Piknic.
but here we go. |

| It is not the scene as much as what you end up missing because you go out every weekend. Waking up at 3:00pm on Saturday or Sunday feeling destroyed for being up damn near 24hrs is brutal. The whole next day after partying is pretty much a waste because no way are you going to do anything. Then there is the fact that the only thing keeping me up is sheer will and caffeine. At 27 that youthful energy is quickly leaving me especially during those times when you are working 50hr work weeks plus doing everything else. Lastly there are the people who go out to get wasted and think everyone is Tiesto…I hate those people. |

I'm def MUCH more relaxed about the scene since 2006 when I first started partying regularly at Guv and such
allthough seems like for the next weeks I'll be partying regularly, since there are some interesting bookings out there, however I def do not get the same level of excitement when the night comes |

meh. i'm pretty much over it. it takes sooo much for me to go out to a club anymore, i really just can't be arsed unless it's a dj i love or have been wanting to see for a while. i'm much more interested in parties that aren't at typical clubs....like the box of kittens nights (that i still haven't checked out) and that milk run thing i went to on labour day weekend. smaller things at non-traditional club venues with good music.
plus, in the past 2 or so years i've really gone back to my indie roots and frankly, i'm just SO MUCH more interested in that kind of music than "dance music". i just don't care anymore and i have different priorities at this point in my life. i LIKE getting up before noon on the weekends and actually being functional, rather than sleeping forever cos i didn't get home until who knows when. |

I can write bunch of negative things about Toronto's club culture but seems it is redundant.... I only go to clubs when a good DJ comes in, which I happen to be few times a year... I go by myself and try to enjoy the music while dancing my head off... just ignore retarded crowd, ass grabbers, and little paris hilton marionettes. It is always impossible to ask a woman to dance together, or just say "Hi"... All the women in the clubs are pushed to say "No" by c..suckers... I still can't get the point of dancing ass to dick with trance.... gimmme a break....this is not the music you can dance like that...
If the problem is with Trance music itself for you, you also have some sort of problem with your "intellectual music knowledge" or "music taste"... There are tons of free outside events in and around Toronto such musics as "African music, Salsa, Jazz, Reggae which I am also, Cherry Beach events were awesome, Latin music festivals, and many more... Toronto has wonderful Jazz musicians and Jazz culture though...
Everything around us is tend to change so are we... Since you were from Turkey, did you try to listen Baba Zula and Mercan Dede in past months...???? Why not...
Basically, Toronto scene sucks with clubs... |

You sure you're not just getting less and less tolerant of the same crowd? ;) |
