Wow, NYC has a bad nightlife for clubbers and EDM? I would have never thought. I mean the first rave and first dubstep parties in the U.S.happen there. The odd thing is people say the same thing about Atlanta compared to back in the day, but Atlanta seems popping to me.

ATL club scene was popping in the 90's. I was in college and went to Freak Nik in 94,95. Those days in the ATL are over and I remember when Peachtree Street was a strip of clubs and bars. The scene in the ATL is dead too.
So its not just NYC.....Westhollywood is no longer the streets I use to roam in the early 90s either.
Is it a generational thing? It seems there was a great run between the 70s-90s maybe 00. Are kids just not into it now?
And its more then atmosphere, even the music now is s h i (well you know the rest).
I use to love going to clubs/raves whatever and seeing Djs like Irene, Calderon, Van Buuren, Richard Humptyvision, Bad Boy Bill, Jr Vasquez etc etc etc spinning actual records and mixing...now its like you go they have a computer and remix Britny spears or ****** Minaj and call it a hit
Haha, thats a great point. I live in the SF bay area, and its really hit or miss out here with club and nightlife scene. Overall SF nightlife is MEDIOCRE as well. Too many bland transplants, and f***** up attitudes in the Bay. On the other hand the Salsa and latin clubs are usually always mad fun.. Im sure NYC still got that vibe, with all the Dominican clubs Uptown.
immigrant clubs might be the way to go for someone who wants v to party and also authentic plus original. Also one must be open minded when going to immigrant clubs.
NYC nightclub scene is long gone and can never be revived. It would be nice for someone to compile a video of NYC night club scene from the late 70s to the events september 11th 2001. NYC had a gun run of 25 years of night club dominance. Like I said before various forces such as Septermber 11th, Gentrification, Mayor Bloomberg, Transplants from Natives leaving to new comers arriving placed a nail in the coffin on NYC night club scene.
If I remember correctly, Blacks had hip hop, the Italians took disco, but also the development of techno and house, the Irish was with the rock scene and the Puerto Ricans had their salsa as well as free style which I still enjoy today. As a Native New Yorker on the dance floor sometimes I gotta show these Transplants wearing their flanel shirts on how we New Yorkers do it and get down, but sadly its outdated. I guess its best for New Yorkers to party in Vegas and Miami thats where all the New Yorkers are and partying it up.
I think if anything transplants were part of the rise of the NYC club scene.
Yes you had guys like Steve Rubell and ian Shrager who created 54.....but Halston from Iowa MADE 54
When the "death of downtown" was declared, it was because Andy Warhol from PA died
Many people on here are talking about the Limelight....Peter Gatien is from Canada
Michael ALig who got the whole club kid scene jumping and Avalon /limelight going is from Indiana
Junior Vasquez is from PA but was Roxys and many other major clubs resident weekend DJ
Melvin Cheren Paradise garage is from MASS I do now know where his partner Michael Brody was born
Danceteria was started by someone from Germany
Tunnel by Eli Dayan from Isreal
and I am sure the list goes on and on. Granted I know these are not the ONLY staples that made NYC nightlife what it was, but most certainly a huge part of the history of NYC. And without these transplants a lot of NYC club history would not be.
clubs been dead in Manhattan. The best clubs are in brooklyn, queens and BX. The spanish clubs, the west indian clubs, they're poppin every weekend with people out the door
dont know about you people but nyc nightlife rocks. especially when you leave nyc and see what you really have.
when i went to baltimore i didnt have many choices of clubs to go to and because of the lack of diversity everyone look pretty much the same.
new york city nightlife is fun if your young and open minded. Now if your a old man saying nyc nightlife sucks because the 70,s and 80,s isnt here no more then i have no explanation for that except for the fact that time changes move on.
and also new york city has loads of women. i love nyc and miami nightlife.
also in baltimore clubs closed at 2 am . In new york city i leave my house to go clubbing and enjoy the night at 1 am.
