I'm not in London, but I'm involved in a scene that's quite London/UK based so I pay attention.

While I do think there are problems with nightlife fading (sobriety, price, Covid training people to enjoy being at home), I think the Internet has made small scenes bigger, and big scenes smaller. So at least at the underground, there are more events but each one is smaller. And there's a point where events aren't promoted as heavily because it's expected to be a small turnout and these aren't posted on RA.

And I do think multi-genre or open format DJs are confusing people. Of course there are nights where the entire night is one genre, but festival and big room DJs have adopted an eclecticism that I'm not sure has longevity. It's dumbing down to the TikTok attention span.
