I said "underground image". Go find an illegal rave if you want underground. Go to a punk dive bar if you want punk. Berghain simply wants to make sure that it's not overrun by tourists, because once that happens, the only thing you can do afterwards is close shop. At least it's not discrimination through money like in plenty of other clubs. You cannot buy a VIP table at Berghain. That's pretty refreshing.
- Gud 3y agoIt's already over run by tourists, except now only tourists who can afford to look the right way on social media are allowed in.
- vinckr 3y agoIs that you personal experience? In my experience there is no "right way to look" when going to Berghain, most people online have no idea what the club actually is and just keep repeating the same old tired clichees - like the fantasy that you have to be dressed all black or something to get in. In my experience the bouncer just sees if you will have a good time at the party or not. And that is what they select on. Once you worked some years at a club door you can see instantly who should get in and who shouldn't. Clothing is an indicator but its not the important one. Its about the look in your eyes.
- _dain_ 3y ago>Its about the look in your eyes. that sounds so lame tbh. i thought most people left behind this social scarcity shit after sixth form.
- projectazorian 3y agoWelcome to the “underground” scene, where middle school level behavior is still regarded as the height of sophistication. Almost like actual adults who still sport non-drug-addled brains should run away as quickly as possible.
- explaininjs 3y agoIt is, in a sense, the opposite end of the "autism spectrum". An innate deep understanding of social cues and general empathy.
- twixfel 3y agoThe German "underground" scene is just completely backwards and childish. They're so forward thinking and advanced that they've wrapped right around having experienced some sort of integer overflow and started caring deeply about how other people (strangers) dress all over again. Like being back at school. The "scene" is a joke.
- vinckr 3y agoNo one in the scene cares deeply how you dress, where did you get that from? I would advise to spend less time on social media and experience the real world before you comment on it.
- twixfel 3y agoIt's unique to the German scene and I live in Berlin, I understand the scene thank you. Germany is unique in how predisposed with the superficial its "alternative" scene is, without any doubt. Spend less time in Germany less time on social media and more time in other countries and you may begin to notice this. If all you know is Germany then a lot of very strange behaviour will be normal to you.
- projectazorian 3y agoMagical thinking and crackpot beliefs about being able to read into people’s souls with a single glance? Seems pretty spectrum-y to me. At best.
- vinckr 3y agoIf you ever worked a club door you would know that you can very quickly categorize people into "fits" or "doesn't fit". It does not have anything to do with magical thinking or beliefs, its years of experience and a deep understanding of the culture and clientele that visits your venue. Of course you don't have to participate if you don't like it, there are plenty of clubs (in Berlin too) where you just pay entry and thats it.
