I'm intrigued. Are you underage? Live in Antarctica? Morally opposed? Or is it that I'm totally out of touch with young people? I suspect it's the last one

Not OP, but from what I've heard, clubbing generally involves loud music, ethanol consumption, and crowds of people, none of which I find enjoyable.

I haven't either, despite being in a city and my 20s. I think plenty of young people still go clubbing, but I think I'm too anxious/neurodivergent for it.

I see the appeal, but I get overwhelmed by enviroments like that unless I'm very drunk (which I want to do less), I can't dance, and I don't know how to talk to people :(

I'll occasionally go to a bar with friends, but it has to be a quieter spot with somewhere we can all sit and hang out.

I'm neurodiverse too! What condition do you have?

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

adhd/autism, only officially diagnosed with the former, though. Although audhd is really its own distinct neurotype. I think one of the biggest things for me in this case is the audio processing issue (which makes it difficult to interact with people in loud environments. loud bars are bad enough, I don't think I could handle clubs)

What about you?

I hear you there! Trying to pick conversations out when 2 people talk at once makes me wanna scream. Im diagnosed with dyspraxia.

Can't speak for today's youth but in my day it was all about house parties.

What age bracket are you in? I'm mid 40s

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

early forties

I was an awkward nerd when I was younger and never went to any of those things now I'm older and still don't want to or know anyone who would. I also don't use alcohol which I believe is a big part of those places.

I don't drink either I'm really not a fan
