When I was younger I thought the club was gonna look like the Hot In Heree video

[Womb Raider]

The dancehall clubs I went to were pure sweat boxes lol. That video makes it look wayyyy too nice

At least in Philly it was like that.

Reggae night at Riverdeck is lit

 

[Giselle]

I’ve been misled

It did back in the day, the music was good and people actually danced.

Upper Deck?

 

[TEH]

It wasn’t far from that back then … depending on the club …

Upper Deck?

Ahh man I can't remember. I went to a couple of them but a lot of the places I went to were set up by a couple local brehs who did party promotions. This was back in the early 2000s.

Think about the 70s and 80s when nothing got outside into the tabloids or posted on social media. Your daddy ain't telling you about all that.

 

[Womb Raider]

that was the no surveillance era*

Back when you could finger a chick on the dance floor and you wouldn’t have been posted all over IG within the hour

UD was a spot in Germantown I would go to in the early aughts. Felt like the Hot in Herre video but it was a fukking hole in the wall.

Ah man I really wish I could remember. I'm from Baltimore and I really just went up to Philly a lot because I had friends that went to temple back then.

I very well might've went to upper deck because I went to a couple of hole in the wall type spots (which were all fun by the way!)

I always figured Delaware Ave back in the day would've been closer to the hot in here experience.

 

[old pig]

I'd imagine Caribbean/dancehall clubs are similar

yikes…might just be a reflection of that particular club damn smmfh

what do I know tho?

my old ass ain’t been in a club since 2007/2008

 

[Da_Eggman]

I miss those days.

The 2000s were the peak club era days.
After 2009 it was a wrap

Eveerbody too cool for school.
Everybody is a photographer, model, dj, artist, designer, influencer, club/party promoter...etc.
Having more fun on their phones than at the club dancing
Dudes too scared to talk and dance with women
Women too into themselves to talk to the dudes unless they want a drink.

Its like nobody is having fun at the club anymore...whats the point?

Capitalization takes the fun out of everything

Last time I went to a club was like 2010. It seems like Lounges and Hookah spots took over since then.

The 2000's was hella lit for the club scene. I remember clubbing in DC back in the mid 2000's. Love was super lit. Going clubbing in DC during Howard Homecoming weekend though. Dime bytches hollering at you.

Most brehs here are in their late 30's. Somehow, I think clubbing in the 90's was even more lit because dancing was really a sport back then. For us as little kids, we thought the club was going to be like House Party.I also felt like the 2000's is also when too many fake thugs were produced, too many nikkas thought they were tough because they wore tall tees and baggy shyt and sold nickels of reggie as a job (I seen hella folks get stomped out in my clubbing days, even certain songs being played would guarantee fights), and people were more able to just have fun and stay in their stay in their own lane in the 90's.

Clubbing in the Kid 'N Play era musta been epic. Going to the club in a loud ass suit and dancing your ass off, nobody worrying about looking tough or any of that clown shyt. Even though crime was higher and the streets were tougher in hella cities back in the early 90's, it seemed like regular brehs weren't on that type of time and had more fun.

Smart phones didnt exist back then so people had to actually dance and socialize at the club to have a good time

Right. This.

It actually did look like that at times..
