93 minutes ago Clubbing has changed dramatically in the past 25 years: is the party over, or just getting started?

When the millennium dawned Britain’s nightlife was as strong as it had ever been. Now, 25 years later the situation is very different – but not all change has been bad, DJs and promoters sayIt’s enough to give you vertigo. We’ve just passed the 25th birthday of the London club Fabric, and the mind reels at the fact that millions of dancers have passed through the doors since it opened.

Now those pieces are still published, but they seem fewer and farther between, and take a different tone. Instead of focusing on why it’s OK to cut off your Trump-voting family members (although a few do still take that tack), they largely emphasize how to get along, find common values and enjoy the holidays without politics. The narrative eight years ago – that Trump voters are irredeemable and should be marginalized – has given way to pleas for understanding and finding common ground.Jill Filipovic is the author of the The H-Spot: The Femin...
