What the fuck happened to the club scene, /mu/? Holy fuck, it's like being in a war zone now.
Ive never been to a club, and dont intend to. I have bad anxiety about even going to concerts. And clubs just seem even more a douchebaggy place where people with no hobbies or passions go to get drunk and grind on others. Your experience sounds traumatizing
go to some underground clubs m8

I went to a club once and it sucked
glad im missing out to be desu
As someone that gets dragged to a club at least once a month I still don't see the appeal.
The music is shit, if the music isn't shit it's still too loud to enjoy, everyone's sweaty and drunk, drinks cost too much but you still have to pay to get in, the strobes are fucking annoying, and girls travel in packs so if you try to approach one the others drag her away.
At least smoking isn't allowed in clubs any more, before you'd end up blind, deaf and suffocating, now at least you don't suffocate.
Am I missing something?

sounds like you need to pull the dick out of your ass and relax a little
>>64796796

>>64798871

>clubbing in america or australia
Not even once. Their club culture is fucking garbage.
Same with their festivals too.
>>64799132
australia is significantly better than pardnerstan
What was the club scene like when you were younger? I'm curious. I'm 19 and in Finland the legal age for clubs and drinking is 18. Your description of clubs is exactly what I have been feeling about clubs lately. It mostly just makes you regret it afterwards.

>why the fuck is /mu/ so clueless when it comes to dance music
I can only call it as I see it, sorry. I've toured in Oz 5 or 6 times, from festivals to clubs. There's a couple of good clubs (TBC in Brisbane, Brown Alley in Melbourne etc) but it really is on a par with what's left in the US imo. That being there are small pockets of good nights but great big swathes of trash, which make going there a chore rather than a pleasure.

The ones fighting aren't Australians, they are Leb/Muslim scum.
I don't care what people say about muh right to be here, if you act like that and praise Allah, then gtfo.

Brown Alley is a shithole, as for Brisbane their club culture is shit. Sydney is undergoing some kind of underground rave revival due to their recent lockout laws. I also make assumptions about cities based on my personal experiences but as someone who lives in Melbourne I'd say that our club culture has seen a dramatic shift in the last few years - for the better. I'd say you didn't spend enough time or were directed to the right places, which comes with a touring schedule. Our festivals though, by and large, aren't great bar an increasing ten or so. Meredith, Falls, Paradise and Jungle Love all come to mind. I think the hugely the popular shitstain festivals that essentially operate similarly to the club in OPs story are dying out at a really satisfying rate.
Tldr: I can understand why you think Australia's clubs are shit as a tourist
>>64799653
I'd also like to add that the huge swathes of shit clubs you mentioned only exist within the CBD or upper class suburbs. Go anywhere else in Melbourne and you'll find decent venues.
>>64799653
took the words right out of my mouth
>>64796796
I'm almost exactly the same. Usually just drink in pubs now. And i do that a lot less than i use to. Don't mind dubstep myself though. Also have a feeling cubs were just as aggressive back in the day (oh god i said it).But we were more involved in it. Also, for me drug taking was a huge part of club culture. Not so much LSD, more MDMA. But still, doesn't sound massively different. (i'm from Scotland btw).
Although i will say "superclubs" are always shit.

mfw police shut down the arches.

Where did you play?

In its defence, apparently 2007 A Year In Music went off and I could not imagine a better venue for something so novelty. First time I went to Brown Alley I paid $40 for a Slugabed ticket and walked out immediately
>>64799254
lol those half-assed kicks
>>64798871
sounds like you need to get your dicc in something anmom :^)
>>64799653
The secret raves in sydney are amazing. you gotta know people tho to know the locations because they are not on private land (or land owned by any organizers)

it was only 2011 5 years ago, that shit was all happening just as much back then
>>64800169
This. Dubstep was more of a thing in 2011 than it is now too.
