Death of the two-step: how old school dancing became Gen Z’s favourite night out

From northern soul all-nighters to techno ceilidhs, ‘old-fashioned’ social dances are having a modern renaissance

Time Out United Kingdom

How old school dancing became Gen Z’s favourite night out

Social dances are having a modern renaissance

The Guardian had an article today about how young people don't go out. They apparently go to the gym instead. I guess it depends on which young people the journalist chooses to ask.

I'm not surprised.

Todays music is not made to dance to, the beat wrong for dancing. All the kids can do now with the music is jump up and down and wave there hands in the air!

Tony Blair did away with the licensing laws, so because all the pubs can now stay open till late, there is no reason for people to leave and go on to the disco/ nightclub like they used to. This has caused a big reduction in the dedicated disco/ nightclub. They had a proper full dancefloor with a dj. So the big Saturday night out has diminished to a long night in a boring pub!

When young people do go out fof a night out they spend most of the time checking there messages on their phones!

They might as well go to the gym these days!

if the gym I go to is typical then I’d say a lot more youngsters use the gym now than when I was that age. Got to look good in insta 😆
