Party Vibe

It also seems that people go clubbing for different reasons I think – When I asked on a clubbing forum why people go clubbing and what makes for a good club night this was the response i got:

“would say from a male pint of view people go clubbing for these reasons,
1.to meet women (or men if they are gay)
2.to carry on drinking
3.to see and hear good dj’s and hear top dance music
4.to get off their heads and dance
5.to meet new people
6.to be part of a buzzing scene

what makes a good clubnight?
1. the dj’s
2.the music
3.the women
4.a friendly atmosphere
5.not to pricey
6.relaxed dress policies
7.good lights (visuals)”

I can see that some of the elements are the same at free parties (friendly atmosphere etc)but the priorities seem odd (i.e. meeting women and drinking as the the main reasons)….maybe people are beginning to look for more from their free time??

I’ve been putting free parties on for the last 9 years, and have seen the decline of the party scene. I put it down to the fact that in the begining of the 90’s you had to fight to get a party going, but the new generation have had it on a plate so where you would be lucky to go out twice a month to a rave, now its forced down your neck thurday 2 sunday – party party party – pay pay pay.

no wonder the youngsters are fuck ups cause they see partys as there right of passage not something they gotta work with.

hope they prove me wrong

peace

Sorry, don’t quite understand what you’re saying here, are you talking about how clubs are put on a plate or free parties? And how do you mean that youngsters are fuck ups now?

Personally I know a lot of young people who go to free parties, could be classed as one myself, and they don’t seem like fuck-ups just cos they don’t have to fight to put a party on. Certainly there’s still lots of aggravation with putting on free parties and that – but you probably know more about that than me so I can’t say for sure just how hard it is these days. If you were talking about mainstream clubs, yeah you get a lot of stupid arses there, but a lot of the time that’s alcohol and not just young people. I think parties should be a rite of passage, I’ve gotten a lot out of them and met important people in my life through them. The easier they are to put on the better in my view. 🙂

Well it certainly aint in Liverpool thats for sure!

there’s a couple of decent venues with plenty of good music in exeter

get’s a bit samey if you go too often, but it’s definately alive, if not thriving

I posted a note on Tidy message board replying to some guy who was praising the local cops in his area. I mentioned that where I lived the cops were a bunch of arses, this was a week after our party had been stopped by the ob… i was shot down in flames by nearly every shit on the message board, telling me how I was ‘gay chav scum’ and that my shitty little rave got busted because it was illegal and that I drank Lambrini !!! (obviously)
Just shows the type of snobby twats that you get in the clubbing world, but on the other hand, my friend had his car broken into and his records nicked just before his set at one of our parties, on the same night someone started a fight with me, the cheeky shit had turned up at a party that I had organised and had the neck to start a fight with me………

Just goes to show, there are fucking muppets in all walks of life!! so as to whether clubs are better than raves i suppose it all depends on whose there and what the music is like.

They are both good in different ways ‘in my opinion’
