Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors

  I think businesses are already seeing the effect of a lack of similar action. Young people are going out much less, drinking much less, spending less, and as described in this article, dancing less. There are a ton of other reasons for that (income inequality, inflation, political stressors, health and safety concerns, etc) but social media has had a deleterious effect on the economics of social gatherings.

  Hmm in my experience of nightclubs a few years ago, I felt like I had to have my phone on me at all times because of the hazards cough creepy dudes cough, so I wonder how they enforce this.

    You can keep your smartphone but they have you put stickers over the cameras before you are let in. If you remove them you might have a one-on-one session with Sven.

    “Ask for Angela” is one attempt at a solution but the problem historically has been lack of training for club/bar staff to recognize and respond to the codeword.
