Before you were able to enjoy the nightlife? What things?

Gave you unreal expectations of dance clubs and bars?

For instance; mine was movies like the Matrix and Blade (pre-blood-shower). I used to think adults went to enjoy hardcore music while drinking sparingly and looking for chicks/guys (all the while trying to look good). Unfortunately, we have hyper Abba electric remixes and people caked with orange paint (and lycra) where I live at.
