Top Comments of this video!! :3
I find this actually quite sad. I used to go clubbing in Berlin in the early to mid â90s and I donât remember there ever being strict door policyâs. In fact thatâs why we loved to go there from Munich to get away from the âyou have to have the right lookâ culture. Berlin clubs seemed to embrace diversity and welcome everyone looking to have fun, dance and lose themselves in the music. Has it really changed? How disappointing. I am happy and lucky to have experienced it when I did. The idea of having to âlook rightâ to club makes me sick. Like going to the office.

In 2009, I had the privilege of entering Berghain Club and enjoyed myself so much I was crying happy tears throughout the night. The Techno music was amazing, I was able to dance next to the huge speakers in which the vibration was powerful enough to bounce me away each time I danced into it. Don't forget when wanting to walk onto a crowded dance floors you don't have to push your way through, just use your hand & stroke the person downwards on their upper arm & they will gracefully make way for you to enter.

In my opinion, this is just marketing. Create exclusivity out of nowhere, just because they can, bouncer´s ego... I´d like to believe what you say but man, I´ve seen bouncers deny the entrance to people who completely knew the line up, really wanted to enjoy the music. Automatically, they accepted a bunch of tourists (I am a tourist myself) who didnt even know what was there playing. Maybe the theory is based on what you explain (I believed the same) but thats not reality come on

Before coming from Chile to Berlin I saw some of your videos are entertaining, however, what I have learned by going to clubs from Berghain to Sisyphos, is your attitude and good vibes, if you arrive drunk you scream loudly and disrespect is sure that They will not let you in, if you are respectful and secure of yourself, even if you are the ugliest in the world, surely you enter, I saw it in Berghain that many people spent with the industrial outfit and very beautiful that were left out and others like me who were going alone if they could enter, in sisyphos the same groups of beautiful but drunk women fail to enter and I alone and with clothes that I use for the gym I can enter the club without problems, based on my experience I can tell them to be safe respectful and not afraid to say their origin, because at the door I even speak Spanish and everything has gone super

Another great video dude, really informative and gives first-time people a good overview of the clubbing culture in Berlin! I know from experience it can be a hard pill to swallow when you get rejected for the first time in Berlin, but once you get in once and feel the vibe you'll understand why door picking policy is so important!

I Don't know, its difficult to judge. I believe that its moslty random + a little extra look on dress code. I've been clubbing for years already, been doing very dark underground raves in France (possession, Osho, bnk, organik, btf...) Where all styles are welcomed, as long as you like hard techno (i'm a great fan of deep industrial techno and trance music). So i've Seen things through the years and surely Berlin clubs aren't an exception. Actually liking the dark underground rave looks, i bought myself dark Berlin cloths, not because it "fits" the vibe but because i actually liked it. And i still got rejected in front of berghain. So being yourself isn't sometimes enough to get into a german club and berghain.
PS : try the french techno scene guys, we are catching up on Berlin (enormous raves, no dress codes, no discrimination, moslty created by LGBT+ and better music most of the Time). Its all about one thing : THE MUSIC !

When I was younger I never cared for the club scene because I donât listen to hip pop much pop music which clubs play but I was lucky to find an industrial club that only used to play industrial music , techno and alternative music . I wish they were more clubs like this here in the USA sadly you can only find them in big cities is rare to find them in smaller cities.
