So after months of my peers trying to persuade me to go "clubbing" because it is awesome and amazing and what-not, I finally gave in and tagged along with my friends to one of the popular clubs in Brighton.

All I have to say is... What?!

It was an evening of having me eardums abused by ridiculously loud "music" and my eyeballs abused by erratic lighting. I was surrounded by people who were completely off their face on alcohol, and goodness knows what else, and I was encouraged to keep drinking "because it would get better" until I was crouched down outside the bar, chucking up the obscene amount of rum & coke that I had wasted god knows how much money on. Admittedly that part was my doing, but it hardly seemed like a rare occurrence. :p

People consider that a good way to spend an evening?!

Oh my god...

I'll be clear, I didn't think I would like clubbing, I went to a club, it was a bad club, I didn't like it at all, I made it worse by drinking too much, and now I have no intention of going into a club again. I understand the appeal of the clubs which are better than the one I was in, and to a certain degree I understand the appeal of the dank club I was in as well. I do however fail to understand the need for the music to be so loud that it hurts your ears and has you leaving with them ringing. :p

People enjoy what people enjoy. As long as nobody gets hurt there's no reason to judge. What i don't get is the incessant bugging to get you to come along, when it's quite clear that it's not the sort of thing your typical introvert will enjoy, and it doesn't particularly matter who goes anyway when you can't hear a word anyone says.
 
But I simply do not understand what there is to enjoy!

It is true that I am introverted, very much so, but to a point, I can enjoy sitting in a bar having a chat with a few people!

I don't understand clubbing at all...
 
I don't think it's got anything to do with your generation, it sounds exactly the same as we did 40 years ago :D
 
Agree! Never been a fan either :) went a couple of times and gave up on the whole idea!

Much prefer to chill out at the pub and have a random chat.

Playing devil's advocate, i'd say because it's a very intense experience. It's very heavy on all of your senses, if you can lose yourself in the atmosphere then it can be quite liberating, almost therapeutic.

Oh, and random hookups.
 
Depends doesn't it, if you genuinely enjoy the music and follow the scene then when you're in a club and a few new tracks are played it's a fantastic feeling. You'll get more nostalgia from local clubs and going to see someone like Rusko/Deadmau5/Dillinja play live will make you feel incredible without the need for any conventional mood enhancers and even if you've been seperated from friends.

If you don't like the music then the buck stops right there really.
 
I'm the same generally, but theres a club that plays music I like and always find myself dancing like a pleb in there until 2am and genuinely enjoyed it.

Most places are just full of chavs acting hard and I'm like ughhh take me home.
 
I'm the opposite when it comes to clubbing. I'm 36 and still much prefer trance, hard house etc to other music. I like the energetic buzz it gives me and the fact you pretty much get a workout dancing to it all night long. I agree hearing in those type of places isn't easy at all. I'd much prefer a night out in a club than in a pub.

It does however have to be the right type of dance music, some I can't stand myself. Also who doesn't do pre-night out drinks these days to keep prices down? That keeps the price down.
