I went clubbing last night at Ground Control in #toronto - it’s a venue that caters to an older crowd, synthpop, goth, etc. It’s obviously Bowie themed and quite nice inside. I really think the problem with younger people not “going out because they don’t have any money” goes beyond that - it has to do with self expectations, obsession with performing for social media and fear of “being cringe” Not the first old-people party I’ve been to where no one is on their phones, people just hit the dancefloor and dance their asses off, depending on the time you buy tickets/arrive it will cost you from 5-20 bucks, drinks are cheap and if you don’t drink, even better. You also don’t need to dress up because no one cares. But what a lot of young people think of “going out” is a full production in terms of dressing up, going to a place with aesthetics they can take lots of pictures, that serves beverages and food that are also good looking for the socials - and those places, they are expensive. And there is also this fear of dancing like no one is watching because everyone is filming everything all the time. I’m very thankful I’m old and my generation knows how to enjoy a night out dancing, because I’m cringe af when I dance, it feels so damn good, and it’s so cheap.
