This is what I really like about clubs in Berlin. When you get in, they put stickers to your phone’s cameras. If you take them out and try to take photos, or they see you removed the stickers when you get out, you need to delete all the photos you took in the club and you’re never again welcome to their premises. Makes also dancing there super fun because people really dance, not focus on taking a video of the DJ.
That’s really cool, I would totally be down for reading an article or watching a video essay that goes into the differences between clubs with and without phones.
I did a little research and apparently there are sexy clubs where you can hang out in rooms and do consensually sexy things and everyone is cool with it. I don’t go clubbing, but I would assume it’s a little different here in the states.
It is very different outside Berlin too. But one of the reasons is how most of the clubs here are very queer friendly, and it is easier for people from different backgrounds to go there if they know their presence there is not leaked to their families from some photos.
I also noticed that underground parties in countries like Finland started to follow this trend. In these cases it is more to filter out cameras on dance floors which obviously makes the parties more fun when people are just not using their phones all the time.

Yeah, clubbing 101 in Berlin. So refreshing
