So they admit a lot of it due to social networking and dating apps.
I can't decide whether I'm happy about this or not. On one hand, nightclubs and people who frequent them are inherently hostile to ugly guys and too many of us have wasted time and money there in the forlorn hope that we'll hook up with a girl.
On the other hand, nightlife is being replaced by Tinder and Instagram which are just as hostile to ugly guys and makes it even easier for Chad and Stacy to hook up.
The figures are stark: 11% of adults went to nightclubs at least once a month in the year to September, down from 15% two years earlier, according to Mintel, a market research company. It estimates there has been a 17% drop in the value of the clubbing market since 2013.
“Kids now are more financially aware and more health aware than what we were going into the 90s and the noughties. “I know a lot of kids who will be going to the gym instead of staying up all night.”
Meanwhile, festivals, dating websites and social networking have undermined one of clubbing’s unique selling points: a chance to find romance.
Breeden explained: “If you wanted to go out and meet a girl, you would have to go out and get smashed. Because people are already highly networked online, that’s no longer necessary. People are able to identify with a group without having to go to a club.”
