I don't see this strong dichotomy exists. At least not here, in Budapest/Hungary. Even though the city is (was?) kind of a regional party hub attracting a lot of tourists. The 2nd type definitely does exist, though even that one is probably not that narrow a category, especially music wise. But I'd be very surprised if there was just one that really objectively matches your first cat. The closest thing we have is a party series (not a specific club) called "L.A. Nights" organized by a few expat guys, but 1-3 hours, no dancing, sitting all night, everyone drinking $300 bottles? Nope. Dressing up? Yes. But that's actually the speciality of their party. All the other places are in between. Some pop music, some some electronic shit (I'm sorry, I've grown up on EBM & electro industrial, so these DJ edited songs built around one simplistic theme are pretty boring to me), a very few rock/metal clubs probably. Mostly dancing AND standing by the bar, a good half of the crowd definitely open to meeting new partners (unsurprisingly I'd say). Some get super wasted, most people drink, few people do drugs (I guess, nobody does it very openly at these places). So basically it's about having fun and socializing with the type of crowd you prefer. And there is a, sometimes very subtle, difference between the places WRT the composition of the crowd. Older or younger, higher or lower education, more or less LGBT people, more or less tourists/locals, etc. |
