FORUM FINDINGS

As I was conducting research for our club culture inspired perfume brand I came across forums where people discussed their times at infamous clubs from iconic eras and reliving their memories onto this forum. I instantly became obsessed with reading on and seeing what amazing or horrific things people got up to!

I also enjoyed how people were telling strangers all the intimate and gory details and how people can bond over just experiencing a same venue. It was cool to read especially for clubs like studio 54 that are no longer around so just by reading other peoples adventures it helps me grasp what the atmosphere and vibe was like which just makes me even more jealous that I wasn't around within these eras.

Here are a few quotes from the different forums for the different clubs that I found inspiring / interesting / just outright disturbing: 

BERGHAIN

“It’s mecca for techno and house heads”

“they were turning away at least 40% of the people in line”

“if you're a woman in heels or in a gaggle of women it's pretty much 0% chance you'll get in. large groups of straight looking men were also getting turned away.”

“couples, gays, solo people? no problem.”

“All I can say is Berlin guys have giant dicks.”

“If you want to get in wear rubber with a zip at the crotch”

1520 SEDGWICK AVE.

“The first hip hop party that changed the world”

“There was just one turn table, three rooms and endless lines of coke”

“The block parties were insane and youd be shocked as to what went on”

“Dj herc made the walls vibrate”

STUDIO 54

“I may have been the only person who wasn't on anything. But I do remember that a whole lot of sex was going on”

“Whatever you were there for . . . music, dancing, sex, drugs, celebrities . . . it was there for the taking”

“I never left any disco without a pounding migraine”

“Woman were thriving in their sexuality, it was the time to be gay”

WORLDS END

“All I remember was bloodstained glass and cigarette burns”

“Worlds end was always a night to remember”
