Field Notes on Different Types of Nights Out

Hello again,
This doesn't have to be formal, but as mentioned in my last post I think it would be a good idea to come together to casually brainstorm our observations of nights out from different subcultures/music genres. Add your own one if it's not already featured but if it is then feel free to just add to it. :)

Popular Music
- Central London usually
- Sometimes reservations are needed
- DJ not of great importance
- Lots of singing along to chart hits
- Big groups of friends going out together
- Gropey men
- Things usually shut no later that 3am, people usually start drinking kind of early at 9pm
- People usually wear what's in fashion at River Island and topshop, lots of girls in dresses and heels, guys in either jeans and tshirt or button-up shirtand nice shoes
- Everyone dances in groups with their friends, even people at front may have back to DJ
- Mainly alcohol and cocaine too 
- People sometimes go out with the prospect 'to pull'

Techno 
- Parties can go on for days at a time, people come at odd times, drop in and out through the night
- DJ of HUGE importance, you are expected to know who is on and what label they are on
- Not unusual to go alone just for the music, large rowdy groups not usually let in on the door
- Venues differ, can be illegal warehouses/squats or normal clubs too
- People face the DJ and dance towards them, not much group dancing
- People occupy more room on the dance floor for some big moves
- As people spend a lot of time there, some bring supplies like food and blankets
- Fashion wise, anything goes! Usually casual though, trainers (definitely no heels), jeans. Also lots of gothic, industrial inspired bdsm wear. Generally on the darker side of things, not much colour worn. However I do feel like you could wear anything outrageous and nobody would judge.
- Queerness accepted and there is usually a large visible LGBTQIA+ community at these kind of events
- Sex! Sometimes there are rooms where people go for that
- Drugs!!!! No specific drug of choice really, that differs in different areas of the world. Sometiems even psychedelics are used
- General code of respect for women, I feel like its much less likely to be groped at a techno night than it is a pop night

Punk
- DIY Clothing  - leather, plaid, tartan, denim, fishnet, mesh. Fashion is almost a uniform here
- Venues include, pubs, bars, gig venues, even peoples front rooms
- Mosh pits - code of conduct in the mosh pit where if someone falls you pick them up
- it's all about the music, again, you are expected to know who is on
- Alcohol predominates as substance of choice
