Is it surprising that the cellular nightclub, with its regular set times, forced enjoyment, its authorities of toilet surveillance and bag checking, its experts in normality, who continue and multiply the functions of the bouncer, should become the modern instrument of leisure? Is it surprising that nightclubs resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals which all resemble nightclubs?

I've never set foot in a nightclub and I never want to. Everything I've heard about them just sounds awful.

It highly depends on the nightclub, there are definitely for sure lots where a significant, possibly even majority portion of men going there to try and pick up girls instead of enjoying the music or dancing while girls generally go to dance (at least my queer female friends do, I don't really go clubbing with straight women so I wouldn't really know tbh LOL)

Generally, the more mainstream the club, the more sexual it is. The more obscure music genre the club is (goth clubs, drum n bass night, etc.), the more about the music it is
