Thank you. Anyone who even graduated high school at the end of the 1990s is now middle aged and likely not the best source of information for the current nightlife scene.
Excuse me...65 and plus are newly defined as the middle age mark per new WHO criteria. Maybe you should spend time reading more informative materials instead of wasting your precious youth with a bunch of "old heads" on CD-forum.
OP, looking for free/cheap sex in NYC? Remember to bring you own condoms to play safe. Too many hiv+ bar hoppers scamming around.

I’m guessing you aren’t too knowledgable about nightlife in NYC today, and I’m almost sure this is what the topic is supposed to be.

If you'll want to find a busy bar or club on specific days of the week in New York you should try the real-time foot traffic data website besttime.app . It shows the most popular bars and at what day and hour they are busy. You can also filter on busy places (e.g. busy bars Wednesday evening, SoHO New York). Most popular websites only show the best places but not when they are busy or empty. Here is an example page: https://besttime.app/app/United-Stat...-York-City/bar
They also have world wide data for other cities, so useful is you are new to a place.
I'd say the bar culture is fantastic, but compared to going to Croatia for Hard Island, Amsterdam for Thunderdome, or Tokyo for Hardgate (particularly the last one I went to out at Ageha), the club scene is crap. That being said, I'm biased because I don't like rap, hip-hop, trap, dubstep, etc. Also less inclined to try to meet people these days, would rather party with friends.
Now raves, I'll do raves. I know of one in Greenpoint next Friday that I'm going to if it's not raining. Got another one in Brooklyn with free BBQ from 4p to 4a, seems to be gothic with industrial, industrial hardcore, etc. Gotta be picky, but there's still some awesome underground ones. The one in Flushing 2 weeks again was really fun. Can't really find them elsewhere in America like they do in NYC with gabber, hardcore, jungle, or the more harsh styles like frenchcore and breakcore (have to go to other countries to do crossbreed and speedcore). You can sometimes find them in LA, but LA is too car centric and hot for me, and they don't happen enough over there.
But I digress, I don't like clubbing in NYC and I'm sticking to it.
Many clubs in NYC have closed down and good riddance. They were good until 2000 when legit music was being played, but now it is all the same ghetto quasi rap. Every music beat is some guy singing "yo yo yo yo yo" or some high pitched effeminate voice that deserves to have their trachea broken.
Much rather have more bars or lounges to hang out than clubs anyway. Also, most people can't even dance anymore with all the twerking and the MeToo crap to get more false lawsuits.
Club space would be better off turned into an actual food place.
There are objectively more clubs nowadays than in the past.
NYC has like 600,000 more young people now than in the 1990s. And a lot bigger proportion of whom can afford to go to the club. And a lot more tourists.
Its just nowadays most just advertise via word of mouth in closed facebook groups/eventbrite. Now with social media, they have no reason to be all over tabloids like clubs back in the day. If you are an adult who aged out, you would have no idea where to even find them.
