Went to 3-4 clubs last night. Security line was long, got patted down, multiple guards, metal detectors. I thought it was gonna be wild.

I was awestruck by the contrast in at least 2 clubs. The servers were in lingerie and had their ass and tits out (and I mean this positively because that’s the only good thing I can remember from my night out), Lil Jon and all the other club classics were blaring. Guys had on jeans and a tshirt and maybe a trucker hat or baseball hat, while their girlfriends were much more elegantly dressed. But regardless they just stood around or played cornhole.

The last one was a bit more high energy, but it was just people facing the DJ and vibing to it like a concert.

I don’t dance or anything either. I only went to maintain the illusion of being normal and social. But it was somehow even more awkward being around a bunch of awkward people than if everyone was dancing.

I don’t know. I was expecting it to be like the music videos with people dancing around the floor and mixing and mingling with each other. Is this normal in the US?

Music videos are basically ads, especially when they were on TV and therefore dont reflect reality. Generally not my scene either, but I was very active in the DIY punk scene for a while and there are some small similarities, young people often like to go out and drink and have loud music playing. Seeing live bands means there is time between bands and you can socialize during that time/before the show cause they always start late. Doing 20 minutes on 20 off was good for getting a breather, with clubs it's relentless. If you're not into dancing that's gonna make it a lot less fun as well, cause that's what the place is for. I think it would cool if at least in my city there were alternative venues that werent mostly set up for live music and had a decent dance floor, a big part of why I never went to clubs is cause I dont like mainstream music
