At what age would you stop going to a club?
- Thread starter digipeep
- Start date
Stop going when you stop enjoying it. Some people prefer different entertainment than others, horses for courses
lol, you really are full of **** sometimes, Nix.
Wouldn't be human if I wasn't.
I stand by what I say though. I've had some brilliant times out - so it's actually quite naive of those who are calling me naive to suggest that I'm naive (yeah baby, I said it three times!) - but on the whole, clubs - especially if not exclusively, the generic 'oceana' types - are breeding grounds for the shallow, tasteless, arrogant and stupid who just want to strut around like they're the best thing since sliced bread. It is not about the music or atmosphere in these places, look at it objectively: it's a pressure cooker for hormones, that's all.
Let's have a recap of some of the music recently shall we? They usually go along the lines of:
"I've got my hoes in da club, I got lots of money, I want this, I want that. Get out of my face, brap brap brap."
Yeah, you're right - just a reminder folks: my opinion and perspective isn't up for a democratic vote or peer pressure - I only talk crap. There can't possibly be any truth to what I see and say. :/
Well, when you go around making huge and, quite arguably, rubbish generalisations about these places and the people that enjoy them then you are going to have to expect some resistance.
Clubbing in terms of being shallow is only a bad thing if you are expecting something else or more significant. If people want to get drunk and try their luck, why not? It's a fun thing for people to do, depending on personal tastes. Besides, when I clumsily attempt to do it myself, it's never serious or any more than a silly laugh. I don't think most people frequent clubs to listen to their favourite music either. I quite like a dance with my chums, whether it's moshing to Slayer in a rock room or cheesing out to Bon Jovi (again), and those artists never frequent my ipod.
It's nothing to do with being right or wrong. By all means, feel free to express your dislike of modern clubbing, but don't go and stereotype everybody who doesn't think like you as a "cattle-market" belonging, "shallow", "tasteless" moron - it just comes across as angsty and bitter.
I could be equally rude and suggest that those who doesn't enjoy clubbing are boring, sad and lonely individuals who love to hate people who are out having a good time because it makes them forget how boring there lives really are. But I wouldn't say that, because it would be absolute crap. Don't tar everybody with the same brush - live and let live

I've nothing against clubs, but they are just not my cup of tea. I think I may of been to my last one at 29 unless I absolutely have to. I understand it's just nature and all but I sometimes find the cattle market sometimes too overpowering. My lack of dancing skills doesn't help either. I was watching Peep Show the other day, and Mark described his dancing as being like a coma patient that has been made to stand up, and then zapped with a cattle prod. That about sums it up.
I find as I get older, that i like a good old country pub like Tank. Perhaps somewhere in the Shire would be nice, though I thought Sam's bit of stuff was the only one worth chasing.

I aint been for about 3 or 4 years now ... not really bothered, sometimes i have the urge but not recently (27 now). When i was younger i would go every week and go to all the festivals (1st one when i was 13 
). I think it was mainly just to pull chicks or if i was with a girl its a guaranteed hardcore sess at the end of the night lol 
). I think it was mainly just to pull chicks or if i was with a girl its a guaranteed hardcore sess at the end of the night lol My mums best mate, at 56 years old, insists on going clubbing with her 21 year old daughter, wearing god awful clothes aimed at young girls, getting incredibly drunk and hitting on any man she can find.
The strangest thing about it is that the daughter loves it and won't go clubbing unless her mum goes with her. They are a very strange family...daughter has never had a boyfriend funnily enough...
I've never been into clubs really. I like a good party, but generally prefer a nice meal with friends etc.

Clubbing is awfull 
But most of my friends still want to go, I'm 19 and I would much prefer to have a social drink, clubbing is expensive and all night you just hear the same repetitive music over and over again. It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.I went to my first club about a year ago, suffice to say I won't be going again . I did end up getting dragged along 2 more times between then and now, found it worse each time tbh. Nearly 22 now .Was a very generic club though, if it was one playing old school rave but without a whole lot of drugs then I might be interested 
Definately prefer the pub or other social activities to clubbing.

Are they chavs?
Sounds like the types you get on non-student nights on friday nights here in Nottingham. Its the reason I avoid the city centre after 7pm in the evening.

Stopped when I run out of baby seals
In my view there are two types of clubs. Cheese clubs, and scene clubs.
The former - many of the criticisms in this thread do indeed apply. They are starting to wear thin on me now, the novelty is completely gone and I only occasionally find them notably enjoyable. (I'm 23.)
The latter - a different story. More specialist clubs centred around a certain musical taste or scene you enjoy, shouldn't really be branded in the same way. They aren't just glorified mating rituals.

Pretty much same here. Im always being bugged by people to go into town, but I hate it. Too much standing around (Im disabled, cant stand around for too long), too crowded, too many idiots around on a fri / sat night, costs a fortune, cant have a conversation, its my idea of hell.
So i stick to pubs now.
