This is why clubs exist and have for centuries. Country clubs, rotary club, computer club, Masonic, etc. There’s a ton of them but you don’t see younger people joining them as much today.

That's because they're primarily filled with old people, with "old" interests. Short of a coordinated visit, you'll always be in the minority. Heck, I'm in the minority, and I'm in my 40's the few times I accept an invitation to go to one of these places.

There's also the occasional left-over haughtiness about the value of being let into the club. Left over from when they were exceptionally popular. This can push people away too.
