Is it wrong not to like clubbing?

I really began to dislike the way people were treated by the doormen regardless of whether there was any trouble; it felt like it should have been an honour to be let it! I also really hated the tinnitus the following morning.
 
The people in the same flat as me are trying to get me to go to this club in Manchester called Tiger Tiger.. sounds like it plays crappy music. To get into some pubs do you need to wear shirt and shoes too? They keep telling me clubs do but I dont know about some pubs, they called me a recluse for not really wanting to go to clubs! :\
 
I used to think i hated clubbing until i realized that, like most things in life, not all clubs are the same. I've discovered that among the hugely popular dance clubs that do my head in, there are a few lesser known alternative clubs that will play music that caters more to your tastes.

The moment i had this breakthrough was when i walked into a club i had never been to before and heard Idioteque by Radiohead playing, followed by the likes of the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Blur and beers were just under £3/pint which is quite cheap for a club in Greater London... damn that was a good night.

I don't know, I also feel the same way, hate clubbing/not being able to hear myself think (due to music volumes) as well. End of the day it's up to you what you like/don't like.

Same. I much prefer a nice quiet pub where I can chat with my friends.
 
Probably been asked, but music are you into?

I hate "clubs" around here, as they're full of people I can't mix with, and I generally do not enjoy the music...although if its someones birthday I will gladly go there and try and have fun.

However, I say I don't like clubs, I've been to several parties this year over in Europe, and they're amazing over there, there isn't any negative vibe off people, they're all happy and there for one thing, to have fun. Which is why I like it.

It does depend on the music sadly, if you don't enjoy the songs, and no one is speaking...your going to get bored.

I like a couple of styles of music, so it isn't too bad for me...I just cant stand hip-hop orientated music or people along the lines of Dizzy rascle, 2-pac etc...Each to they're own obviously, but I can't go into a place like that and have fun. :)

I love pubs, well, local pubs, as you tend to know people there, but I also like going out as I said above, to friends gigs they play, to see live punk/rock bands, and I like to travel to go see some DJ's I like over in Europe.

But no, your not weird by any means. :p
 
I used to think Clubbing was a religion

i work i one now too lol and i don't want to work anywhere else atm!

but it has changed my perception on clubbing, obvioulsy what im saying is personnal preference. Nowadays i like to either enjoy a quiet drink in pub with mates or night in, pizza, movie
 
I wouldnt say I'm a huge clubbing fan but with the right crowd I've had many enjoyable nights out at various clubs. I think its who you are with not where you go.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of clubbing, definitely wouldn't bother going to Ibiza or anything like that, waste of money I think! I'm at uni so I do go out to clubs a bit with mates, am a 3rd year student now though so things have calmed down quite a bit, probably only go clubbing once a week.

I'm just fortunate that my friends and girlfriend are as happy watching a move at home or the cinema, going to a pub or bar, or doing other similar activities, rather than feeling the need to get wrecked every night at a club!
 
It's not wrong to dislike clubbing, just like it isn't wrong to dislike motor racing or to dislike Italian food. It is simply a preference and there isn't a right or wrong to that.

Do bear in mind though that as has been mentioned there are multiple different types of club catering for wildly different tastes so it may be that you simply haven't found the right type of club/night for you.
 
I love clubbing as long as you're with the right people and its your kind of music. If neither of these thigns are met then like anything you wont enjoy it
 
I like clubbing. I enjoy dancing to whatever music. There is no goal for a night out, just to have a good time. If it doesn't suit you, thats fine.

In Bristol there is a mahoosive amount of clubs that people head to. First off you get your mainstream clubbers who love superclubs like Syndicate and Oceana (and sleaze boxes like the infamous 'Lizard Lounge') (Club As). These tend to be people that will dance to whatever and enjoy the dance music you here on the radio. People dress mainstream and girls tend to be hotter. Typical 'chav' clubs, perhaps.

Then you have your alternative clubs (Clubs Bs), such as Lakota and Thekla. Music can range from heavy drum and bass, up and coming indie, and drug fried acid house raves. There is less of a dress code and most of the music you probably won't have heard of. The girls are definately less hot (sorry).

I enjoy both types of club - just send me where my friends are, I don't care to much for the music. Besides the best music to my ears is not the best music to dance to. But what really gets my goat is when people who frequent Club Bs tend to look down upon people who enjoy Club As. I can't stand such pretentious rubbish.

There are times to be pretentious. Dancing is not one of them.
 
I only go clubbing a couple of times a year, i couldnt do it every weekend like some people as it would A) make me poor and B) getting boring quickly.

a nice change now and then is fun to go out and dance with friends, the main reason is that in my home town most people going out would be aggressive and try and fight people, in london its not so bad and also i dont like dance music that much.

more into rock, old funk soul, jazz, indie etc. which i canny find at any clubs.
 
Never liked them at all ...

- don't like the music the vast majority of the time
- they tend to be full of idiots
- they tend to be to noisy to hold a conversation

Have a lot of things better to do with my time than go to them ...

Quoted for truth really.

Not every club is the same, most places classed as "clubs" aren't even clubs anyway, they're just bars with a really small dancefloor.

I dont like clubbing, does this make me a weird person? I'd rather go to a pub with friends and chill and drink and not go to a club and stand on a dance floor all night, I also dont like dancing.

Is it wrong?

No it's not wrong and there's nothing wrong with you. You goto pubs/bars so you are a sociable person.

Agreed.

"Raving" on the other hand...

"What have you had, whats your name, reach for the lasers, SAFE AS ****!!" :D

Fully star out swearing
 
It's very reassuring to find other people that dont like nightclubs. I hate them for the simple fact, the volume of the music gives me a terrible migrane and my ears hurt a LOT after an hour!!

My friends more or less ditched me now because I dont go along to clubs with them.. but to be honest, sod them, I think pubs and other things are much more enjoyable than going to some hot, chav filled boozer club.
