80's 90's and early 2000s NYC club scene was unreal!! The energy was insane. Doing after hours, walking out of a club 1-2pm on a Sunday afternoon wondering what world you were just in is something I don't think will ever replicated again...at least in NYC. The things that went on inside, what you saw, people you saw, and experiences were incredible. It was just one big happy fest and best of all....no camera phones and social media to ruin it.

That's over 100 years of getting dressed to the 9's, staying out all night to the wee hours of the mourning, dancing, drinking and doing drugs, laughing your ass off and having a fucking amazing time. I'd say that's a pretty decent legacy so far. LOL. Night life/clubbing/rave doesn't seem to be dying any time soon that's for sure! Rave festivals are only getting bigger and bigger.

Like RuPaul said, people like them have always been around. Every generation (at least in modern history) has had artistic type people who want to buck the norms of society and express themselves in their own unique way....Flappers, Beatnicks, Haippies, etc. The "new" thing with this group was the large amount of drag and open homosexuality. I wonder why there weren't any former hippies in the audience who could have spoken up for those kids. Most older people in the 60s thought that the hippie crowd wouldn't be able to integrate into society and be leaders, but they did, and I'm sure the majoroty of the kids on this show went on to lead productive lives.

It was a combination of post-war demoralisation, fatherless children and widowed women, post-qar immigration of blacks and prohibition combined lead to the rise of organised crime and jazz music being played in illegal clubs where jazz music played. It's development is largely a product of other 20thbcrntuey events such as the great depression and subsequent rise of keynesian consumerism and the welfare state, state mandatory education, child labor laws, ww2 deaths, new divorce and custody laws, vietnam war leading to the counterculturel revolution of the late sixties.

I didn't really think Geraldo was being condescending at all. I think he was just trying to make it an interesting show and see what kind of reactions he could get. He did at times show himself as being very open minded, but didn't want to appear as though he totally sided one way or another. He really tried to get everybody's viewpoint on this lifestyle, that is why he went with the Suits and some of the older folk to speak with. I think he was just having fun, and trying to have an interesting show to watch. Sometimes people take an individuals attitude to stern and forget to see that they are actually just trying to create a fun atmosphere.

Hired off duty police officers, engage non profit gay and lesbian alliances as beneficiaries, 21 and up with an open bar (technically liquor given, not sold) and it worked great. Partnering with those socially sensitive entities gave code enforcers no green light to raid.
