Yeah, that's my impression too - although it's inaccurate to say that the entire club scene is like that, there's plenty of great clubs that are about fun instead of status. I was in Miami (Beach) for a few weeks, and despite its status as a party town I like partying much more most other places. Frankly Miami as a whole was kinda sickening for its massive income disparities and how everyone seemed to aspire to become "VIP"s, both at night and in life in general. Great clubs are egalitarian, where everybody is just having fun and spreading the joy to the people around them. Unfortunately they can be hard to find without local connections, as Google often only surfaces the high status clubs.
