HELL NO I want MUSIC, I want to DANCE, and I want to be comfortable. I don't go out to impress people. I don't go out to pick up women (or men either ) I don't go out because it's "cool." If I can't DANCE comfortably, I don't wanna be there... to me that means sneakers and shorts or loose pants... But you know what? That's okay -- there are places in NYC for all types of people... thankfully the "dressed up" crowd tends to passionately dislike the places I go, and vice versa... so as long as my favorite spots don't change their dress code, I'm happy!
