The Millennial Night Club Scene.
If You Go Clubbing…Expect to Be Photographed and Video’d
I laugh to myself when I say this, but it has to be said. “Kids these days!” (Insert eye roll here)
Twice this month I have gone out with some girlfriends for crazy nights of dancing, drinking and laughter. Through those two nights I saw some things that really made me question the new generation of 18 and 21 year olds.
As I write this, I look back at myself when I turned “legal” and yes, I was a bit of an asshole. And yes, I liked to party and drink. And, yes, I could have gotten myself into trouble a few times…BUT I never did. For some reason, my generation of clubbers seemed to keep control. I knew my limit, I was always careful and responsible and I never “hooked up” while I was in a club, or even after last call. Typically, I would find a 24 hour convenience store, grab some junk food and go home to sleep it off.
The group of ladies I went out with are all my age. 50 is right around the corner, or over the cliff, whichever way you want to look at it, but we are all still young looking and we can all still dance like we did at 20. I try to stay fit and fight the middle age spread as hard as I can, and still make an effort to “look young”. As do my peers.
