Is it normal to go to a nightclub and bleat about how crap the music is...

...every time you go?

There are some people who have to be seen in the right places and be the right kinds of people to everyone. The vanilla types who just follow the crowds. You know the type, I hope.
(More specifically, referring to the friend in http://isitnormal.com/story/is it normal to-feel-like-you-have-to-dumb-yourself-down-for-mostall-friends-113749/).

The last time I went to a nightclub with her was for her 24th birthday. We went to a generic place that plays house music and that you have to pay at least £5 to get in, then be served overpriced drinks. I'm happy to go pretty much anywhere as long as the company is good and there isn't a pretentious atmosphere, but it really pisses me off when she complains to other people we might be out with about how they only play a good song every half hour.

I just find myself thinking "Why go if you hate the music so much? Go somewhere that plays the sort of music you like!".
What triggered this question was a story of hers I've finally started reading.

      ....... o_O.

      Ummmm..... possibly true for some people but sure as hell not true on any of the nights out I've had thus far.... and most defnitely not on the last one I went to!
      The heaviest thing I've ever had on a night out was poppers.

      Got invited to my FWB's 30th birthday today (Which may have involved clubbing), but callously dumped him by text a couple of days ago.

      Why? I don't want to have to be constantly thinking about how I should speak, behave and act around a pile of Joes. Not to mention that I asked about clubbing with him once.... then ended up in a grimy bar having one drink each and me feeling like I had to drag him back to my place when I wanted a night out.
      NOT happy.

    Well, seriously, what if you had the sort of taste in music I do and NO place plays any of it?

      The funny thing is that there is at least one place in London that plays the sort of thing this person likes... but then I guess she had to accommodate some of her more mainstream friends. Even so, I think bleating about something you chose to do is pretty damn stupid (even - or perhaps especially - if you chose what you did by taking others into account)

    it really depends on the type of place you go to, ofcourse the crowd really defines the atmosphere during a night of clubbing and yeah I had nights where I wasnt feeling it at all but it depends on so many variables.

    If you go out more often you don't feel the pressure to make any night that you do out epic and amazing and it will then surely bother you a lot less. Also lowering your expectations and being able to laugh at idiots around you helps but you shouldn't see it as a chore or something you HAVE to do.

    People who complain to others at a nightclub ruin the fun atmosphere for everyone else.

    I would think that was probably normal, yes.

    I've always thought people drop 5 quids to get tanked on overpriced liquor and a slim hope to score with an equally tanked generic type of slut.

    I don't get clubs at all, so can't tell you anything more insightful.
