The Music Shift Changed Everything From Dance Floors to VIP Culture

People was still going to clubs even when there were music videos
They even play the videos in the clubs.. whole video DJ sets
I don't disagree..
I feel that the music video focused on imagery and that's what became hot. People stopped dancing and it being about the music but instead how you look.

Idk bruh
They been doing music videos for like 40 years… we talking about the changes happening in the present.
They been playing vids in clubs for like 20 years at least from my opinion… every other culture has music videos for their songs and it hasn’t stopped anything with them
Yeah..once again, I'm not disagreeing.
I just noticed a slight change in how people producing and marketing music influenced the public and how music was then recieved publicly.
For starters, hip hop took over completely by the mid 90s, but how do you dance to hard-core rap on a dance floor??
So we started become wall flowers lining the clubs walls bopping our heads instead.
We got conditioned by fewer music videos featuring dancing..remember how every new rap and rnb single had dancing in the video?
Now, zero..not even rnb videos so people got conditioned to dancing not being cool anymore.
And when you're not dancing, may as well go show off in the vip section.
You’re also missing r&b songs to balance out the hip hop. The club closing to lovers & friends
Hell, even bouncing around to something like Loyal by Chris Brown…we used to have r&b that fit the club. These depressed low fi songs from folks like SZA and boring ballads from HER and Ella Mai ain’t club r&b
Rap songs all about spinnin on your opps with a switch
And R&B music is depressing because these hoes are depressed. Ari Lennox Depressed. SZA Depressed. Summer Walker Depressed.
SZA last biggest song was literally called Snooze.
on the dancing component, If the Jersey club music wave pops off then it could be a saving grace. Uzi how to rock is an example. When it dropped everybody was dancing and having a good time.
Need more jersey/Baltimore club and house music to pop
Cash cobain also got some slaps

The club scene and all that goes with it was changing and being ruined long before the music changed. VIP was actually something more than just a roped off tabe in the main part of the club up until like the mid 2000s. The southern strip club culture took over nationwide and ppl stopped going to the club to dance and maybe find a sexual partner for a couple of weeks. Then camera phones and social media came through and now even the broke ppl in the club can now appear to be doing it big by being in proximity or just faking it for instagram. Then ppl just started to be in the club glued to their phone all night. And all this happened in the mid to late 2000s.

Do Latin and Caribbean clubs still have big dance floors? I still want to learn salsa. I went to a spot that played dance hall music and women was on the floor.
How likely is it those clubs get ruined?

Music used to be a social experience. People used music as a means to group up and socialize.
Vibes era and streaming turned music into background noise for twitch/youtube and memes for tiktok. Only a handful of acts have that effect now. And music festivals have replaced clubs/concerts as the “third place” to experience music with other prople.

also more communal cultures like latinos, mexicans, Arabs, caribbeans/Africans still have jumping clubs as music from their homeland/countrymen is a major uniting aspect of their cultural experience in the West.
Its cacs and ADOS folks who now
have poor club culture outside of regional niche exceptions (country bars, grown and sexy events, etc).

The Club scene/ nightlife in Canada/USA been dead since 2013. The very Early 2010s (2010-2012) before the instagram/Snapchat era was probably the last time people had fun in bars/clubs.
1980s/1990s/2000s were the GOAT decades for nightlife, it was when the club scene was at its peak . There was No Reddit/video game streaming/travel craze/internet/social media/smartphones/dating sites/hookup apps like tinder/hinge back then. You had to go to the bars/clubs if you wanted to listen to live music, socialize with new people, make new friends and meet women.
Men and women are more divided than ever
The internet gender wars on social media spilled into real life
