I don't know how it's usually done in other countries, but here it is custom that you meet up at some friends place, drink a bit and go to town later in the evening ( about12:00-01:00).

The meetup is the fun part where you drink, socialize, listen to music you actually like, with people you actually like. Then you go to a club in town, and the rest of the night turns to shit. Happens 100% of the time. People always split up because they're meeting up with someone else or doesn't like club A or B. Once you've gotten throughout harassed by the guards so they'll allow you to pay half your wallet to enter, you're faced with incredible boredom as you try to figure out what the fuck you do now? First you pay the other half of your wallet for a shitty drink. Then you try to chat up a girl. Maybe you're lucky enough to find someone who wont ignore you at first sight because you're probably the 10th person to hit on her that night alone. Then you sit there and nod like the most uninteresting and boring person in the world because you can't actually fathom a word she's saying, seeing as the music is usually too loud to hear your own voice let alone anyone else. Once you both realize you can't actually communicate with each other, you give up and attempt something else. Maybe attempt dancing? If you're sufficiently drunk, you might be able to get around the terrible music and your own shyness. If you're not, you take two steps onto the dance floor before realizing "holy shit this is stupid", before walking away. By this time, one of your buddies have gotten into a fight. Or maybe he just slipped on the floor and onto broken glass. Because the floor will usually be covered with the shit (at one club I go to, they had to stop giving people glasses because they would just toss them on the floor on purpose when done drinking. Thats the kind of amazing people you'll meet out on town). So you have to call an ambulance for your friend, and realize the night is over. Now starts the journey home. If you're not a student like me, you might do the sensible thing and let the cabdrivers rip you off for a ride home. If you are kinda on the poor side, you either walk all the way, no matter how many hours it takes, or you starts calling everyone you know in hopes of getting someone to pick you up. Finally you manage to sufficiently piss of one of your relatives or friends enough to come get you in the middle of the night. Only for you to come home and realize you're way too intoxicated to be able to sleep. So you sit around for another hour or two playing some kind of mundane game because you're incapable of focusing, before finally getting around to bed so you can feel shitty when you wake up, or indeed the entire next day. tl;dr: You pay a fortune so you can waste an entire evening being bored, listening to shit music, not socializing with people, piss off everyone you know, and being sick the entire next day. Congrats! We're officially idiots. Sounds like you hate your friends and get together with them to places you know you hate. I usually meet up with a couple friends, hang out/get drunk, head to the club, have a couple beers to keep the buzz going and have a good time listening to the dj(usually the reason for said club excursion) with friends. If you want to meet a chick just go on the dance floor and dance with one, you're obviously not going to a club to have an insightful conversation there so just go have fun dancing with them if that's your thing. If your friends are constantly getting into fights and ending up at the hospital then you're probably going out with the wrong people to the wrong places. If you just want to have some drinks and conversation than go to the bar or a house party. I feel like everyone here hating on clubs for not being able to talk, loud music, and expensive drinks is like complaining about not being able to enjoy a book at a movie theater.
Note to self, people do not know what a Causerie is.

I like alcohol, I like girls, I like to dance and I can put up with the predominant clubbing music genre. Unfortunately so few DJs know wtf they are doing (there's more to it than pressing play), so few bartenders know wtf they are doing (that's not how you make that drink and it still took you five times as long), there are so many people on the dancefloor that the best dance you can do is put your hands in the air like you just don't care (and that's not a dance, that's just time spent trying not to think about how stupid you must look) and when the volume is so loud that you can't even hear the shanked guy on the floor scream, meeting new people based on anything beyond looks becomes a completely lost cause. Having fun in this kind of environment requires tremendous effort (edit: or you get really drunk. This is why you drink at clubs, because otherwise it's just a complete fucking chore).
Teenagers club because they think it's cool, something you're supposed to like. Eventually though the curtain drops and they start spending time doing things they actually enjoy.

It sounded ironic until the TL;DR at which point i figured you were being serious combined with some of the opinions given so far in this thread.

I just like to dance to the music really. I mean dance music nowadays is alright. Everything else about clubbing I hate apart from the socializing with friends part. I always wear earplugs as well because goddamnit I already have tinnitus in both my ears. The fact that everyone around me doesn't have that is incredible to me. Are they really not affected by that what the hell. What I hate most is the fact that every guy is trying to hit on every girl, jesus christ. Then they look weird at me when I'm trying to actually dance. Fuck those clubs.
