I don't like music in clubs anymore

Right when I was younger, like ages 14 to 21, I really enjoyed going out and dancing.
In the last year or so I just find the music in bars and clubs crap. It's either really repetetive house music, or cheese (which I can not stand)
I used to like trance (1990s and early 2000s stuff), garage, drum n bass, RnB and classic house stuff...can't find anywhere that plays that stuff now!
Also what's going on with clubs, I used to get in free to decent ones before a certain time or for like a fiver. Now all the big clubs seem to charge anything from £10 up which I'm not willing to pay, especially when drinks will then be £4 plus.
Maybe I've just grown out of going out but I feel sad if all those days are over.
Sometimes when I go out now I feel fed up and bored by 1am and just want to go home. Help.

For instance, a venue I know will cost £7 on a Saturday and play shitty chart music all night. On a Friday, it's a fiver and they always the old 90's trance songs.
And getting completely wankered before you even get there saves you money on the drink.
I did a quick DSI search for Brum clubs here and if you scroll down to the events list, you can specify the type of music you like and find related events there. Might be worth looking at the groups as well, people are pretty friendly there, you might find some people to meet up with?
If you're from Birmingham, do you never go to the Custard Factory? They have some great nights and some good line-ups at the weekend. I guess it is expensive to get in, but you can drink somewhere cheap first.
I'd rather have a couple of really good nights out a month where the music was awesome as opposed to going to the same old places every week hearing the same music.
All normal clubs now days are going to play chart stuff, or cheese... they have to appeal to the masses and to be fair most of that sort of stuff now days is shite.
Find a proper night with some big name DJ's and you will see the difference, there are flyers for that sort of thing all over the place.
HaHa, couldn't have put it any better myself
Sounds to me that you need to get your ass into gear and get out there and do some clubbing. Yes there is a lot of crap stuff around but there is also some very good stuff about. visit dontstayin.com
End of January I am going to a club thing in Norwich, 11th birthday of Pams House, and after 11 years of clubbing to hard house and funky house especially, still running strong.
and I am 29.
and i don't plan to stop going clubbing anytime soon.
But then again, knowing what you're going along for, as opposed to attending generic nights is the best way.
Techno/DnB/House and all that makes me dizzy...
I usually go for a mixture of pub and club. So you have pub atmosphere, with music and dancing, for no entrance... and I am definitely NOT going to pay more than 3€ for my Beer or more than 3,50€ for my long drinks.
No point, just that I don't like a lot of music played in the places I used to go. No-one seems to have any taste anymore :grump:
Are you at Cardiff uni? I went there for a year, I remember some my nights out there.
It was called Solus when I was there (shows how old I am :crying: )
The student union pub is nice though with all the wooden beams. I used to live on Colum Road. Do you go down chippy lane?
