In my time night clubs were about hooking up, guess no need for that in the age of tinder?

- b800h 2y agoNot if you're going to a rave-style event. That would be creepy and unwanted. At least back in my day (mid-90s).

- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoDon't know what "rave" is, in normal night clubs not hitting on anyone all night would be considered creepy. And dances are an essential element helping to ... close the distance. Always were, since middle ages.
- quchen 2y agoThe key difference is: do you go there to hook up, or do you go there because you like the place, which as a second order effect is great common ground to meeting someone?
- b800h 2y agoSure, you don't understand, and that's a sign that the culture doesn't exist in the same way. Here, this isn't an environment to chat someone up in: https://youtu.be/T14r2dBJzvc?si=5rkQIJx_zuAtsr-B https://youtu.be/T14r2dBJzvc?si=5rkQIJx_zuAtsr-B
- gazunklenut 2y agoWhat? That's kind of creepy. Raves are and always have been about dancing. The creeps walking around looking for hookups are just that, a bunch of weird creeps that annoy people trying to dance. Edit: To clarify, it's creepy becaucse a lot of people are on something and pretty vulnerable, they're there to dance and enjoy the music and now some creep is trying to get in their pants while they're rolling and drunk
- mixmastamyk 2y agoThe song, "Up all night to get lucky," would like a word with you.
- gazunklenut 2y agoNot a rave song, not singing about rave culture.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoIf “rave culture” won’t get busy, then they are doomed to die out. (Insert quote from Fight Club about Pandas.)
- 4ggr0 2y agoMen will be men, sadly. Can't even feel safe when sober as a charming guy could decide to put roofies in your diet coke.
- celdon25 2y ago> Men will be men, sadly. I don't think that's an appropriate way to frame it.

- omnimus 2y agoAt same time this is pretty disingenuous calling people creeps. Yes you don't go to raves to look for hookups but at same time its social occasion and you can meet many people (in all kinds of states). And stuff wears off. So many people end up with new contacts if not straight up going with someone home. You know MDMA and sex match pretty well...

- nlnn 2y agoIt probably depends on the type of club/event. Back in the day, there were rave/dance type clubs which were all about the dancing. They'd typically have focused genres of music, well known or regular DJs, etc. Then there were more generic nightclubs (usually in University towns) which were where people went to either get drunk or hook up. Those would typically not focus much on music (usually playing crowd pleasers, 50s/60s/70s/80s/ tunes etc.), and instead bringing people in with cheap drinks offers, foam parties, fancy dress nights, etc.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoAlso, as the comments will show you, we have a very negative attitude now towards anyone who wants to hookup with someone they just happened to see in person and tried to initiate with that person. So if that's the response you'll get, why go out? Stay in and play it safe with apps
