This is the old person in me coming out, but is nightlife for you guys that big of a deal? Like how often are you really trolling bars and clubs? Especially given how millennials generally don't go out as much as generations before them. I expect this to continue with the Generation Zoomers
Half the thots i see on IG anyways aren't hanging out in clubs or bars anymore. They seem to be doing outdoorsy stuff pretending to travel or whatever.

It's like upscale retail, the arts, institutions of higher learning and recreational activity. Many tout its importance in a community; relatively few avail themselves of it.

Yeah, at least with those other things, they're all relatively unique experiences that vary from city to city. Nightlife is drinking the same exact drinks, in exactly similar type bar/clubs, just in different cities. Maybe if this was questioned more as "what kind of people do you meet in your nightlife experience", but I find that even nightlife goers from city to city don't really vary that much. Group of bros here, group of uptight girls here, etc.
A lot of times it's not about going to a bar, club, or lounge per se but just being out and about in the midst of the nighttime energy. Nothing's wrong with parking lot pimpin' from time to time.
I think the funniest, and most pathetic, is when people brag about "celebrities" and nightlife. "Our nightlife is so awesome because all the celebrities come party here!". What kind of teeny bopper crap is that?

See, YOU have the right idea on what nightlife really is - its just about experiencing the energy. Because I feel like the experience of doing it itself, drinking in a bar or dancing in a club, happens literally everywhere. The energy from city to city feels different, but not the actual thing itself.
But parkin lot pimpin is awesome! I love scanning too.

Yeah, who does that in the real world? Chances are you won't be able to approach the celebrity because of their entourage, and half the time, most of those celebrities most likely just want to be left alone and be treated anonymously like everyone else.
I was born in 1989 though. My generation seems to be at the forefront of the whole "staying in and playing video games/watch netflix/quiet tinder date" phenomenon.

Re millenials and "zoomers" (lol) not going out, that's wrong in my experience. Nightlife in NYC is super active and is not slowing down.
But due to technology, and maybe this is more of a societal problem than just nightlife itself, more and more people are becoming shut-ins. It also reflects in how nightlife has changed. Think about this - go out alone to a bar or club without a group of friends. You tend to notice how much more expensive drinks are, how expensive cover is for a lot of places, and frankly, how many people really aren't open to letting you join their "group" without an awkward introduction.
I can see nightlife being important once you have a group of friends established, but really, you can have fun with a group of close friends anywhere. I've noticed more and more people throwing house/apartment parties lately. You can do that anywhere.

I have a few friends in NYC. They go out, but not every weekend because 1) even simple drinks like a jack and coke are $10-$12 [I don't count happy hour as nightlife because it ends when 'true nightlife' starts] 2) cover is expensive, and 3) it's hard to get a group of young people getting their career started all on the same scheduling page, unless you go out alone.
You'll notice this as you get older, but once you start getting into a work routine, you still manage to be tired at night even on the days you don't work. It may be just getting older, but its your body being used to such a routine that you'll still defer to it no matter what. If you're me, and work in a field that isn't 9-5, then your Saturday mornings are booked with work.
Most of my friends there are either in law or computer science. The latter admittedly are a bit socially awkward, the former is worried about making their billable hour quota.
I know this definitely isn't all people, but I feel like it encompasses most people.
