In my time night clubs were about hooking up, guess no need for that in the age of tinder?
Here, this isn't an environment to chat someone up in:
Back in the day, there were rave/dance type clubs which were all about the dancing. They'd typically have focused genres of music, well known or regular DJs, etc.
Then there were more generic nightclubs (usually in University towns) which were where people went to either get drunk or hook up. Those would typically not focus much on music (usually playing crowd pleasers, 50s/60s/70s/80s/ tunes etc.), and instead bringing people in with cheap drinks offers, foam parties, fancy dress nights, etc.
Raves are and always have been about dancing. The creeps walking around looking for hookups are just that, a bunch of weird creeps that annoy people trying to dance.
Edit: To clarify, it's creepy becaucse a lot of people are on something and pretty vulnerable, they're there to dance and enjoy the music and now some creep is trying to get in their pants while they're rolling and drunk
I don't think that's an appropriate way to frame it.
Don't find romantic partners at raves, that's creepy, people are there to dance.
Don't find romantic partners at night clubs, that's creepy, people are there to dance.
Don't find romantic partners at public places, that's creepy, people don't want to be bothered in public.
Don't find romantic partners among friends, now you're ruining all the friendships.
Do stay locked up inside and try to find romantic partners between advertisements, by swiping on a screen three thousand times. That's more efficient and won't risk you wasting any productive time that you in fact owe to the government, to shareholders and to pensioners. It's actually quite outrageous that some young people are trying to escape their productivity duties and even risk forming long term relationships and having children, which is literally taking food out of the mouths of the elderly. They need your tax dollar, stop wasting time!
There is always someone looking to vibe with a positive-energy person they met that night. Sometimes it leads to more and sometimes you just dance all night, give a big hug, and never see each other again.
A nightclub is a location, a rave is a type of party where electronic DANCE music is played.
The idea of a rave is that people go there to DANCE to the electronic DANCE music. Not to hookup.
(In North America at least) A night club is a particular kind of venue, it's not just a location. It's very distinct from a rave, and they have very different cultures. It's confusing when you conflate the two.
Because the post is about raves. I responded to a comment about nightclubs in a post about raves, its implied then they're talking about raves in nightclubs, what else would they be talking about?

What the hell are you talking about, raves happen in nightclubs all the time (all over the US too). You are just making up your own definitions now.
