hotcheme Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 i like parties with no dress code because i find people who don't stress out about image to be more tolerable to party with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoke Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 HELL NOI 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!

That's the thing though...How about when the people youuse to love listen to spin records start to playat places that ONLY cater tothe "Dresscode crowds"?What if the DRESSCODEkills all the places you grew up inbecause you never jumped onthe GUIDO band wagon..?What if ALL music camewith a tag that read :"Can only be listened to if you are not wearing sneakers"SHOULD LOOKS DICTATE A SOUND?

daveespa Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 i would say it all depends on the scene...some places should have a dreescode and others shouldnt...just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lets face it...Us old timers know what happened to Houseand Trance..) Who's to say what crowd a musician should cater to? If DT said tomorrow that he wants to spin at Cheetah from now on, I'd definitely be disappointed... but it's his show, and he can take it wherever he wants.

mugwump Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 If DT left Arc and playedat a place with a strict"Dress code" you bet some wouldfollow....But he'd loose many others..As years would pass(Perhaps a decade)The new generations that discoveredhim in that world wouldn't understandwhen you'd point out that DT useto have a party called "Be yourself"...Where there was NO dress code.That's exactly the scene nowwith a million places..All the new kidsnever got a taste of thepast....And other old schoolersgave in or got amnesiaand now frown at the morerelaxed venues that havea CARE FREE enviornment.NYC has becomea snobby city forphoney hoochies andtone deaf guidosthat couldn't tell the differencebetween PVD or ODB..Breaks or Trance..And everyone's justtoo sedated to give twoshits other wise...(shrugz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebitch Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 i always vote pass the nachos.i dont really give a shit what i wear out most of the time. i guess it depends where im going, most of my friends are into getting dressed nice. i would prefer not to get dressed up. Most of my friends go out to meet people not hear music.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm... Maudy... what we LIKE to wear out is necessarily tied to what DRESS CODE we'll tolerate. One can be deduced from the other.I definitely DO care who's on the decks, but since getting dressed up means I wouldn't be able to dance as much as I'd like, I'd probably pass on seeing one of my favorite DJs if dress code were enforced...

wideskies Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 to answer your question more thoroughly:i don't care what people are wearing as long as they are dancing energetically and enjoying themselves.the thing is that a goodly portion of the clientelle i see out at places where people "dress to impress" don't like to sweat into their pretty, expensive clothing so they don't dance and sit around drinking/snorting/flirting instead (what else is there to do if you aren't dancing)... therefore, those places lack the VIBE that i seek and tend to find at the clubs where no one cares if they sweat into their clothing because it's not all "dry clean only"...

Reeni Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 it all depends on where im going if the venue i choose to to i'll get dress up,but its so different for guys than it is for girls guys just throw on slacks and considered it dressed but for a girl you have to throw on heels and you can't dance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebitch Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 a club is a money making business. as much as places want to bring in talented dj's and want people to enjoy themselves, they want people to spend money. the nicer the dress, the more they can charge for drinks. people dont wanna pay 12$ for a cosmo in a plastic cup @ a place where people are jumping around in dirty jeans. i dunno, i would prefer to go to a place without a dress code, this way people can "be themselves" but i wont let a dress code stop me from going where i want to go.

The older I get..The more I like to chill and "LISTEN"(though I still do "stomp" once in a whileI prefer to go on a mind trip on theside lines more these days)I find that the Dresscodes domore than dictate dancing in a club..It dictates expensive drinks,Tighter more suspiciouse security(of anyone that isn't all "G"d up)and really snotty bitches that think theyfell off the "I'm so fucking hot that only someonewith a giant wallet in their underwear can talk to me" bandwagon.I've even heard some hoochies ofthis nature at a club of this type in a conversation that went like this:Hooch one: "Like who's this playing music?"Hooch two: "Like I don't know..Isn't this like Moby?"Hooch one "Naaaw waaay.Moby plays House.This is someone else..Who cares,lets go find some hot guy that has blow."Hooch two: "Yea all these kids dancing are pissingme off."

brickhouse Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Depends where I'm heading. If I'm going somewhere to dance, almost never (I'll try to get away with the minimum of the dress code if there is one), but if I'm going to schmooze (which happens too much in my profession), then I better dress right...When in Rome...
