It’s younger than you think.  My friends, I’m afraid I have some grim news to share. According to a survey from British electrical retailer Currys PC World, the age when you should probably stop going to nightclubs is a lot younger than you’d expect, and will probably make you feel old as hell. And I’m sorry about that. Apparently, most people feel that the appropriate age to retire your sloppy clubbing habits is the (relatively) young age of 37. 37!! Is it just me, or does that seem pretty young? Either way, it looks like Leo DiCaprio totally missed the memo, because he’s 42, still raging, and damn proud of it. Anyway, according to this particular study, on your 37th birthday, you are officially “too old” to go clubbing. I mean, nobody’s going to stop you if you do go to a nightclub, but the people have spoken! They don’t want you to show your face in a nightclub if you’re a day over 37. I guess all the 20-something club-goers don’t want to see older people in their booze-and-coke-fueled midst. But that’s okay, because the survey also found that 31 is the age when most people start staying in instead of going out, so I guess the whole thing about being “too old” to go clubbing won’t even matter when you hit 37. Funny how life works out, right? If you’re over 31, perhaps you know the feeling of wanting to stay home and watch TV in your pajamas instead of hitting the town. In fact, maybe you’ve been experiencing that feeling since you were 24. No shame in that. While everyone has their own reasons for wanting to be a hermit on a Friday night, the survey found that the most common reasons were because they didn’t want to:
Totally valid. I respect that. Staying in and being lame is actually not lame, but rather cool. “The Great Indoors study recognizes the fact that there comes a time when we appreciate our home comforts more than a hectic social life and it can often be a drag to play the social butterfly at parties and nights out.” “It’s now almost impossible to get bored at home, with endless box sets and the latest technology, such as 4K TV, enhancing the in-house experience, so much, that it often surpasses its ‘outdoor’ equivalent,” said Matt Walburn, Brand and Communications Director of Currys PC World. Damn right, Matt Walburn! I’ll gladly hang out in my living room and sit on my ass all weekend instead of being a drunk, sweaty mess at 1 OAK. Just give me some snacks and a bottle of whiskey and I’ll have a great time. But then again, if you enjoy clubbing, you do you. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re too old for strobe lights and bottle service. Ever. Go out and live your life, my friend. H/T: NME Share:
Got a few years left in the locker then.It's got to be right up there as the thing that we've missed most since Covid entered our lives: going out to clubs. Well, at least it should be if you're under the age of 37, because this is the age at which we should all stop going to clubs. Everyone remembers their first time, whether you were old enough or not. Who you went with, where it was, how you got there, what happened, how you felt the next day. True rites of passage. Then, the chances are that you may have become a seasoned pro, especially if you went to university. You make the transition from bright-eyed fresher to hardened expert, and in the process probably start to just feel a little bit older as you seen younger, less experienced folk on the dancefloor with you or at the bar. But hopefully you're still loving it. But time only keeps moving on, and eventually you will reach the stage where you call an end to your clubbing days. Like a player retiring from sport, you'll just know when to hang up your shittest pair of trainers and say goodbye to the sticky floors. Well now it seems like you can put an age to that moment. It's 37. At the age of 37 we should apparently stop going to clubs. This is according to research done by Currys PC World, who also found that whilst you may end your clubbing career at 37, you'll have entered the twilight years by 31 as this is the age at which we begin to prefer staying in to going out. Clubbing in your late-20s is one thing, and that might make you feel a tad aged as it is. But 37? That is pushing it in fairness. But maybe the pandemic will see a resurgence in older people hitting the clubs. After almost a year and half of clubs being closed, who wouldn't say yes to a night out at this point? I give it a week though if that. One week of clubs re-opening, and many will probably remember why they stopped going in the first place, which is absolutely fine. It's not for everyone, just like everything else in life. But if you're older than 37 and want to hit the club, then you do you. Go for it, live your best life. Prove the doubters wrong. Stuff the research. Can you be too old to club?No one is too old. If you are older you are going to be out of place at college night though. Many older people in night clubs look younger but that's probably because we see 30 year olds portrayed as highschool or young college kids in movies all the time.
What is the average age at a club?The main age range in normal clubs is probably around 18-35. the key is confidence.
Can you go clubbing in your 40s?Internationally however, people in their 40s go clubbing all the time. This would be a regular occurrence.
Is it normal to go clubbing alone?Even though some people attach a social stigma to going out alone, it's actually a perfectly healthy, normal thing to do. You wouldn't hesitate to go out by yourself to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon in a café with a cup of coffee and a snack, and going to the club alone is no different.
