Do you have a source for this? To me it always seemed the people running the best parties weren't making a lot of money anyway, just enough to rent some decrepit building and a few speakers. This gave me hope that they'd just start again, some time in the far future, when they can get a crowd in that pays the bills.

Obviously many of the more institutionalized, mid-sized venues will be heavily affected - on the other hand, there is less need for office space right now, so I don't think everything will be rented out soon.

The real estate scene in Berlin is very different now than it used to be. It was possible to rent a cheap place or just squat an unoccupied building, which is not possible anymore. Real estate prices have gone through the roof in the last 10 years.

I'm not sure how the new nightclub scene will look like, but I'm sure entry will cost money.

Capitalism is incompatible with counter culture. We need to get back to realising that if we try and work with the system it will destroy us, we have to work in the shadows, break laws, and create an underground again.

When I used to go clubbing in Munich entry was anywhere between 5€ and 20€ (with 10€ usually being the sweet spot cost-quality wise). Dress-code in most venues. This was around 2006-2008. Berlin at the time was considered cheap/left/alternative. Hamburg has always been dominated by no dress code, much fewer entry fees (with exceptions).

I wonder how Reeperbahn will do after Corona. It's already changed from mostly local private establishments to more and more corporate fuckery. If there is one thing people in St. Pauli hate it's corporate fuckery.
