Discussion - Why Celebrities (and People) Aren't Clubbing Anymore Feat. Tinx
Added 2024-06-17 10:00:07 +0000 UTCDiscussion for this week's episode! Tinx and I explore potential reasons why celebrities aren't clubbing like they used to in the early 2000s. Is it high costs, better quality camera phones, or something else? Let us know your theory!

I feel like we've transitioned from clubs to festivals. People wanna be outside with space to move around not in a packed club ass to elbow with everyone else. And I think that date rape drugs got so common in clubs that women didn't wanna risk it anymore.

2024-06-19 13:12:49 +0000 UTCYes i live in ireland, clubbing hasn't changed drastically. Also gay men never seem to stop, sometimes its top much

2024-06-19 13:12:14 +0000 UTCThe absolute fear I have of being recorded shaking my ass and popping a titty in the club and going viral on social media is what is holding me back. You have the backlash from the incels in the comments of these type of posts. The judgement from the person of posts you making the caption about you being a “thot” or “wilding.” A clip of you becoming a think piece on tik tok whether it’s positive or negative. People commenting “find this girl” and everyone tagging you. Coworkers seeing you especially thanks to the tik tok algorithm. I could literally go on. The minute I see someone looking like they’re taking a pic or video or if I see a flash I walk away or hide my face. I just want to party anonymously lol

2024-06-18 14:33:39 +0000 UTCI’m 26 living in Australia - how Tinx is describing clubbing at 6:59 in the pod is how it still is here. Yes people are taking selfies when they’re out but for the most part everyone is still dancing, taking shots, flirting with randoms and having an authentic time

2024-06-18 13:30:18 +0000 UTCEndorsing this as a 24 year old who went to a medium size school - all this was very much alive. Granted, I KNOW some people held back but other people proceeded at their own risk of being on barstool lol.

2024-06-18 12:29:50 +0000 UTCTbh I really feel like a lot of things got ruined by the “photos or it didn’t happen” culture that was huge when I was in college. I remember being in 5th grade and middle school imagining being at the club and dancing lol but then me in college was too anxious to do it. I feel like I’m too old for it now but also like the vibes would be off in my area. I just wanna dance and lose my mind for a few hours and I don’t even need to drink for that 😭 it’s also just so expensive now

2024-06-18 12:09:38 +0000 UTCOh my gosh so true I cannot dance if it's less than 20 ppl on the floor. I feel so self conscious even though I know it's probably unreasonable.
Kris Lynn
2024-06-18 03:11:27 +0000 UTCthat’s a really good point and one i hadn’t thought of, and definitely some of that is related to having a more amped-up pc culture for sure!

2024-06-18 02:37:35 +0000 UTCthere are some great points in this episode but it felt like this episode was mostly about shitting on gen z bahahah

2024-06-18 01:20:11 +0000 UTCI’m a 20 year old girl at a big party school and trust me, all the things you mentioned like keg stands, jungle juice, getting iced, are still very much a part of college culture LOL
LP
2024-06-18 00:36:49 +0000 UTCTrue that! I think it’s interesting because almost every younger generation has been “wilder and crazier” than the generation before except for Gen Z! All the way from Elvis fans to Beatle Mania to early 2000s, but it seemed to stop for the first time in a long time with Gen Z. But I hear you, I don’t like pitting generations against each other bc we’re much more similar than different
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-17 22:06:11 +0000 UTCYES! I remember always needing my hot friend Lauren with me lol to feel comfortable with going to certain places which is so bizarre but that’s just…how it was/is??
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-17 22:04:08 +0000 UTCi posted this on youtube initially but deleted and decided to bring it to the real ones: i’d love to hear less millenial vs gen z comparisons 😇. i just think it’s a bit trite at this point to keep bringing up these silly differences between us and the youngsters. i just think gen z grew up immersed in a different culture to no fault of their own and i think it’s great that they’re drinking and doing drugs less, as someone who has done lots of those things and taking a much needed step back. i enjoyed this episode nonetheless!

2024-06-17 21:35:12 +0000 UTCI think something important that is being left out is door culture, for nyc anyway. There’s a really intimidating factor of having to be the best of the best to even get into the club or have a crazy amount of money to be at a table and allowed entrance. This has made the culture of clubs a place that I want go to look good and be scene which doesn’t really foster the environment for dancing and having fun.

2024-06-17 19:20:04 +0000 UTCAlso everything is just so expensive (not celebs)
Megan
2024-06-17 19:03:10 +0000 UTCI don’t feel like there are any dancing clubs anymore. Clubs now are just an expensive place to sit and scream to people over music. No one wants to dance. There is only like 15 people willing to dance and it feels like everyone is watching you. I think a big part is people are scared to be recorded in moments like that. There’s always viral videos of people who don’t know they are being filmed, might be subconsciously in the back of their minds.

2024-06-17 19:01:39 +0000 UTCIm just too tired
xknowsall
2024-06-17 18:20:43 +0000 UTCi almost exclusively go to those club 90s events bc you dont really have the threat of being felt up by anyone, just girls and gays, and the ones in LA the bouncer is great at not letting in weirdos
Traumachica
2024-06-17 17:52:26 +0000 UTCas a 24yr old Gen Z, im experiencing first hand how no one wants to party anymore. you cant make friends at bars or clubs anymore, and even when you do make friends, you can stand there talking to them while they are texting on their phone and holding their vape up to their face its so crazy??
Traumachica
2024-06-17 17:50:19 +0000 UTCAs a lover of edm and dancing, my bf and I LOVE going to the club. I am 27, he’s 26. We go to dance. A few times a month. We don’t go to clubs where people are standing around chatting, on their phones a lot. Love a “put your phone in the bag night”. I think a lot of Gen Z does like to party - we just have people recording and who wants a vid of them snorting a line to keep them from a job opportunity? Gen Z is fun too guys 😂

2024-06-17 17:31:43 +0000 UTCI think the downfalls and bad press of Britney and Lindsay had big ramifications for the music and acting girlies to come after them. Those two were A-list or rising A-list, respectively, and their clubbing was either used against them or self-destructive (speaking quite broadly here because I think different things were affecting both of them so it’s hard to paint them with the same brush). I think of how Beyoncé and Taylor have taken to locking down access to them post-Britney’s conservatorship. I also suspect Lindsay is a cautionary tale to a lot of young starlets.

2024-06-17 17:00:33 +0000 UTCSame!!! Like I want to dance to top 40s tbh but most clubs just play house music and I like to shake my ass to music with lyrics haha
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-17 16:34:26 +0000 UTCbut i’ve found that recently there’s been more niche club nights at least here in toronto (chappell roan dance parties, club nights by and for gay women, etc) so hopefully that is a trend that continues
Savannah Martin
2024-06-17 15:02:56 +0000 UTCi didn’t get to go to the club much in my youth and i’m honestly so sad cause i love to shake my ass with my friends lol and one deterrent for me is the quality of clubs like a lot of them are filled with finance bros who just stand there and the club plays shitty music
Savannah Martin
2024-06-17 15:01:55 +0000 UTCAlso, as a regular person - can’t stand people doing content in busy public spaces like bars. I don’t want my dumbass in the background of TikToks. Conspiracy brain - Government doesn’t even need CCTV
Jess Thomas
2024-06-17 13:28:27 +0000 UTCRegular people - wellness trends such as drinking less, sleeping more, focusing more on work goals and overall health; the economy Celebs - social media, they don’t have to go out to get papped in order to get attention, they can now just post on IG or TikTok
