mugwump Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 A while back ago I use to wear big ass Jenckos,have bleached hair, suck on pacifiers and twirl glow sticks..Well, I grew up and changed.And though I don't dress that way anymoreI have had the occasional inspiration to dance withsticks (should the mood strike me)..I believe that "DANCE MUSIC" is meantexactly JUST FOR THAT:DANCING!So you explain to me how certain clubscater to music that was built on gettingsweaty and freaky on the dance floorand apply strict "Dress Codes" or "No sneakers/No glow sticks"rules at the door..What I find even more striking is that certain DJs willgravitate to these clubs (DJs who's core audience ALL wear sneakers.)I have nothing against people that want to "dress to impress"on a dance floor with pounding music and lights..(Though I'd rather feel comfy and dance ass my ass off.)But you know what?Don't push me away from the door for NOT looking like you.THIS SCENE WAS BUILT ON UNITYAND MUSIC WHEN IT STARTED..What happened?SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS:(and everyone is entitled to an opinioneven if you agree or disagree)DO YOU AGREE WITH DRESS CODES IN CLUBLAND?OR IS IT A FORM OF DISCRIMINATION?

fluidnyc Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 The only reason is:I was in the Tunnel one night trippin hard, and this girl grabbed me sat me down, and took 2 glo sticks, and she was moving them in such a sexual/trancy way....man ill never forget it. She hypnotized me with them. Thats the only reason I had to vote no.Im not a homophobe, but I think men should'nt have glowsticks hehe.Im 29 now, so Id really like to go to clubs which are 21 & over or 23 & over, but for the younger kids...its fun i guess...i was never into them, except when I was with that girl whoooo.I used to go to alot of Steven Lewis's parties, so you couldnt wear sneakers. You had to dress to impress.just my 2centz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugwump Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Interesting article on NO GLOWsticks laws in court:http://bbs.clubplanet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80942COME ON CLUBBERS!

phatman Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I sometimes get caught up in how we were in the early 90s...dress to impress...we wore suits and silk shirts to night clubs and we danced till we dropped in those as well...but that was a different era...it's all about comfort now...be comfortable with who you are and where you are and what you are...ergo if you want to get all baggied out to dance go ahead; if you're more comfortable in slacks and a shirt, then the same goes for you; Let's just make sure neither one discriminates against the other - we all want the same thing: a good time...

fluidnyc Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I couldnt say it better myself.brooklynkid, was just my opinion...If you into glowstix thats your prefrence... No harm in that.And honestly, if the GOVERNMENT or whoever labels people who like glowstix and suck on a pacifier for being drug-attic rave kiddies, then I would have to disagree. That would be DISCRIMINATION & PROFILING!! Fuk UM!peace~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorfern Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Originally posted by phatman Let's just make sure neither one discriminates against the other - we all want the same thing: a good time... Very well said.I think it all comes down on how management wants their venue portrayed. Underdressed kids with sneakers and glowsticks are usually associated with the rave/drug culture. I wish it wasn't true, but that's how a lot of law enforcement officials think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Though I don't personally use glowsticks, and I think they're overused without skill... I could care less if they're around. What I do, however, hate is Strings... they're too dangerous, take up too much space, and piss everyone off.And Dresscodes = Shit.Wear what you want, it makes the place better. One of my favorite things about LimeLight was that on a given friday night, you never saw very many people who looked the same... You had everything from thugs, to ravers, to preps, goth, psytrance heads, and people with their own look/style.Dresscodes kill vibe in my opinion...

sprincess218 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I'm on the fence about this one. When I go to certain places I don't mind the dress code (no sneakers, etc) because of the atmosphere. Other places I've been I don't care if the person next to me has on sneakers and jeans. When I go out it's all about the music...so long as everyone acts right it's all good in the hood! I think it mainly boils down to the type of establishment you go to...clubs with stricter dress codes think they attract a "certain type of person" but we all know OJ wore a suit too!

bogb Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I all 4 being comfy when I’m bugging out. YES that means having sneakers on my feet.What’s up with the “dress to impress” shit. I mean do you have to “dress to impress” just to get passed the door and then once you’re in you can take your shirt off and run around half naked? FUCK THAT.And further more there is a fine line between dancing with glowsticks and waving them around like an idiot.That’s all I have to say about that.
