Partly, it's also that within all this people act differently. The bar and club and the nocturnal dens of celebration and revelry alter the social order and in some ways violate it. And it permeates to places tangentially related such as the waffle house in the middle of the night. Then when there's music pulsing, and people just being people in a way separated from the everyday. The sacred is set apart, and this world in so many ways feels set apart.
