In reality, according to international trends, Gen Z’s are significantly” calm interested” mainly for health reasons. This group either avoids drinking at all or chooses to make mocktails, and they are looking for inclusive, secure places that reflect their lifestyle choices.
Another regular, Shantel Lim, highlighted that the good thing about Culture’s parties is that “you do n’t really need a lot of alcohol to enjoy themed nights”. The 24- year- old used to club thrice a week on average pre- pandemic, but her experiences tended to be” toxic and tiring” and she usually ended the night wasted.  ,
” Club is, like, die die must have alcohol. So Culture is beneficial for those who do n’t want to drink. I really do n’t want to drink anymore”, she added.  ,
After being” super done” with conventional clubs pre- pandemic, Shantel fell in love with Culture’s WhoHurtYou parties about two years ago. She was spared from having to deal with being touched or groped on the dance floor or having anyone present her with a “hidden agenda.”  ,
She also appreciated that there were” no fights or physical altercations, because no one is touching someone else’s female friend inappropriately”, and candidly admitted that she would n’t want a “normal” clubber to attend Culture’s events.
” Everybody’s just there for the wholesome vibes. It’s just hardcore fans who like the music. Even though everybody’s different, it creates this bond”, she said.
Sure enough, Shahrin recalled being drawn to Nelly’s carefree abandon on the dance floor, despite not personally knowing her fellow Culture regular.
” Nelly was dancing like she was uninterested in the people around her. That is something you frequently witness at Culture events. Everybody just dances to their heart’s desire”, she said. ” Nobody cares whether you’re dancing weird. Anything, anyone is welcome” . ,
