Think young kids in the UK still go out. If any of the “Police after dark” docs are anything to go by, bars and city centres are still packed with people wanting to get blasted. Whether thats smaller pockets of activity vs the 90s/00s not too sure. Agree with Nick that kids have a lot more to entertain them now. They dont really need to go out anymore to pull. Just go on an app. Social Media and Camera phones keep them on their guard . My niece is 19 and at Uni and here social life is a million miles away from what mine was at her age/at Uni.
In a way the climate makes the clubs that are left loads better. All the chaff is gone. There were some right shitters I went to back in the day. Underground will never die etc etc
