"night clubs were about hooking up" - they weren't talking about raves. Night clubs were a different thing, and hooking up was definitely a big part of that. And for selling expensive liquor to people, but whatever.



You can't have a rave in a nightclub? I'm sorry I thought this whole post was about raves, didnt realise we were specifically talking about outdoor raves?

A nightclub is a location, a rave is a type of party where electronic DANCE music is played.

The idea of a rave is that people go there to DANCE to the electronic DANCE music. Not to hookup.


If you thought it was about raves, why say night clubs?

(In North America at least) A night club is a particular kind of venue, it's not just a location. It's very distinct from a rave, and they have very different cultures. It's confusing when you conflate the two.


> If you thought it was about raves, why say night clubs?

Because the post is about raves. I responded to a comment about nightclubs in a post about raves, its implied then they're talking about raves in nightclubs, what else would they be talking about?

What the hell are you talking about, raves happen in nightclubs all the time (all over the US too). You are just making up your own definitions now.
