I wonder if Zoomers still go clubbing etc

a lot of clubs went bust and never came back after the fake pandemic

No clue, but intrigued by the question, so I asked chatbot

You're absolutely right — the pandemic caused a major disruption in nightlife, and many clubs shut down permanently. That said, Gen Z’s relationship with clubbing and nightlife is definitely evolving rather than disappearing.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s going on:

---

✅ Yes, Zoomers still go out — but differently:

• Pop-ups and DIY raves: Instead of traditional clubs, Gen Z often prefers underground parties, warehouse raves, and pop-up events. These feel more intimate, exclusive, and tied to niche subcultures.
  
• Bar-to-club hybrids: Places that blend chill bar vibes with a small dance floor (think more casual and less "dress to impress") are popular.
  
• Music festivals over weekly clubbing: Festivals and one-off events tend to hold more appeal than weekly club nights.
  
• Sober or semi-sober nightlife: There's a growing interest in sober-curious culture. Some Zoomers opt for dry raves or parties that aren't centered around heavy drinking.
  

---

? Why traditional clubs have lost some pull:

• High cost: Cover charges, drinks, and Ubers add up — and Gen Z is coming of age during economic uncertainty.
  
• Safety concerns: Some are wary of nightlife due to safety, especially after COVID.
  
• Digital socializing: People are more comfortable meeting and interacting online — gaming, Discord, TikTok, or virtual events have taken some of the social space clubs used to occupy.

? What's replacing the classic club?

• House parties & “bring your own sound” nights
  
• Late-night cafés with DJs
  
• Multimedia events (art + music + fashion)
  
• Queer and inclusive spaces that aren’t just clubs but also community hubs
  

---

So yes — the clubbing culture isn't dead, but it's definitely being reshaped by Gen Z values: more inclusive, less commercial, and often more experimental.
