[QUOTE="adamw, post: 681285, member: 7066"] I think it's partly because the dance "scene" has now dissipated so much and partly the venues' fault for being unwilling to take risks. There's too much money involved now and people have got plenty of choice to choose where they go to part with their cash. 20 years ago acid house blew the 80's club scene apart - it was the shake up that the industry needed - but now everythig has reverted back to type - including the punters - who are quite happy to go out and get sloshed anywhere if the price is right and if they hear a couple of good tunes that's a bonus. As someone who started clubbing in the early to mid-eighties I've got to say that I hated the mentality of that period in general and it was only the Hacienda that offered a viable alternative to me, most of my mates were quite happy to go into Wigan and listen to the usual shite, I just refused on principle. When House kicked in big time everything was up for grabs again, and that's what we are currently waiting for now, something to give everything a good kick up the arse, but at the moment I can't really see it happening. I'm really glad people are still making the effort (In My House :thumbsup: ) but it's up to other people to support it, to make something happen, to keep things going, offer an alternative. But at the moment, apart from the very odd exception clubbing has come full circle and gone back to where it was in that mid-eighties period. Depressing but true. :( Marcus, i've just read you and steve's posts in the listings threads about last night, you obviously agree??? [/QUOTE]
