Can’t dance to a song about a nikka blowing his opps head off
Feel bad for youngins now. When they get older they won’t have artists they grew up listening to performing songs that match their current status in life.
I’m 42, I ain’t trying to stand up all day at a concert to hear about murder and being a dope fiend. The Earth Wind and Fire, Maze, Mint Condition, Boys II Men type artists will be long gone.
They will know nothing of the joy of seeing The Whispers at a casino after you just filled up on all you can eat crab legs.

They made a great point about that

This popped up in my algorithm too. I'm not sure which is the cause and which is the effect. Did the clubs change because of the music or the other way around? I can see arguments for both positions.
It predates COVID. Social media does play a part, though.

Songs are too short to dance to nowadays. Can’t dance to a song about bussin at the oops that’s 1:30 minutes long.
Again I watch a lot of Youtube People use social media to say that it’s the cause for most of the world’s problems.
Lowered attention spans. Streams promote the hook of most songs so they constantly repeat the hook.
There’s writers and Producers that are called in just to write the hooks for songs.

There are several reasons why night life has fallen off. The music itself is part of it but the price gouging by black clubs has been a big issue. A lot of people stay home and dont go out as much and cause it's too expensive and a wasteof money. $40 to park. $40 to get in and then you pay over $20 per drink. Now add in the fact that you don't have a great time cause folks just standing around or you may have to dodge bullets so folks just sat its not worth it.
Another big reason people forget is the rise of online dating. Going out and being social used to the be the best way to meet women. People went out to socialize and meet people. Dating apps originally had a negative stigma to them.. they were for the socially awkward folks. Tinder kind of changed that when it blew up. Most people are meeting online now and it's cheaper and easier than meeting someone at a club.

As a flabbyhead the bucket of blood clubs stayed packed.
Maybe they should bring back the converted warehouse clubs with 10 dollar entry.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I danced at a hip hop club even before Covid. If it wasn’t Dancehall or one of them Latin joints everybody just posted up.
