This article will take a look at some of the various factors people have on why the there’s a decline in the club and nightlife culture.
The music:
Many people owe the decline of nightlife culture to the type of music being played in the clubs today. Some argue that there aren’t many records meant to dance to as in prior generations. Commentators express how the overwhelming amount of trap songs being played in the club, does not create an atmosphere for partying.
With the performance Usher put on at the Super Bowl Half-Time show, many took to social media to complain about how this generation doesn’t have upbeat R&B songs like Usher U Don’t Have To Call or Caught Up. Others asked the question Why aren’t there more EDM songs sung by R&B artists in like the early 2010’s era?
The sections:
Another point of conversation for the decline in nightlife is the section culture. A key downfall of the club culture is the dancefloor being minimized to make room for sections. Sections aren’t conducive for mass social interaction. The section type of clubs promotes more of flexing or celebrity status than meeting new people and engaging with others.
The Cost:
People on social media make mention of how they were able to go out almost every week years ago and how the cost of going out has changed that drastically.
