I’m not sure what sort of decline the article is referring to. There’s not a single reference to revenues or guest count for any club in Berlin, nor mention of any specific club in danger of closing due to lack of patronage.
These clubs were great while the city was struggling, but now that it’s not, I can see why people don’t wish to tolerate the negative externalities associated with them. Hopefully most clubs can find a way to integrate into today’s Berlin. Some may not be able to and disappear. Cities aren’t static beings.
I’ve also realized I prefer underground parties or small social gatherings to 3-hour lines, 40 euro entrance fees, and uncertain door policies.
