I was born in the 90s so I obviously wasn’t partying back then. But I was starting in the Mid 2000s and it’s just something about not having cameras in your face that make the environment so much better. People weren’t afraid to dance because some dikkhead got a camera in their face trying to make them go viral. People weren’t just sitting on their phones. You actually have to dance to pull a bytch, not just floss only. By 2013 all this shyt came crashing down. It’s over.
Amazing how much fun you can have without phones and cameras. 
I remember I saw my first breast at a party in middle school.
I graduated at 17 in 1999. My uncle had a club while I was high school. So I was 15/16 in the club around 1996/97. Met Juvenile and saw Weezy at my Uncle club. Party was so much fun. Even the early 2000s.
At the end of the party. The DJ would finally slow it down. Every one was scramble to find their crush or chick they wanted. Slow dancing to R.Kelly and R&B at the end of the night was pretty much to the setup for who you was taking home.
I still remember these 2 classics. Kissing on her sweaty neck.
That LSG and Keith Sweat.

Co-sign brehs talking about how phones really did fukk up going out. I graduated high school in 2004, so obviously hitting the club in the 90s, but the 2000s were still fun, even though that was kind've the start of when shyt started going south.
Going out to actually interact with people, and not just kick it in your section, or hold up a wall while you scroll on your phone was great. Or brehs willing to go out and shoot their shot for real without being concerned about getting recorded so you can get clowned on social.
We really didn't know how good we had it.

I go to parties to this day where the vibe is lit. Crowded and people dancing etc. People just don’t be going to the right spots or the right crowds.

Sprayed so much Issey girls got dizzy....
Looking back at that time it might as well be another planet now because the Game has changed so much in the interim. We lived the moment whereas now they dwell in the perception the moment can present without them actually embodying it.
To see the difference you have to have moved the movement as and when because just like that was standard equipment back then so is the modern equivalent to the new jack jits who'll make this thread about what they live in contrast to 4D holoshow clubbing via the 9G datastream beamed into their cerebellum where they're dancing to a digital approximation of a club that has different rooms in alternate timeframes or some ish...

Cell phones didn’t kill it, VIP sections did. Sections used to be a small part of the club. Reserved for real ballers and friends of the owner/promoter/DJ. Nowadays, clubs can be 80% VIP sections with the remaining 20% being corridors basically. Not uncommon to have no real dance floor in a modern club. Capitalism is to blame here.
The drive to get every little penny from partygoers has led to the opening of a new market of spots that are anti-everything the big clubs stand for. I’ve noticed more loungey type spots and even damn near dive bar type spots popping more of late. A large percentage of people don’t want to break bank (or get treated like a plebeian without a table) just to have a good time.

It's the reason why some cities have transitioned from having areas with a bunch of clubs to now lounge and dive bar types. Hell even beer gardens. DC in the 2000s and DC in 2010s was night and day with nightlife alone.
Women were so much finer before the IG face. I'm so happy I got to experience the last hurrah of club culture in the mid to late 2000's
