Quoting the bits that take stabs at explaining it:

> [Night-time consultancy co-founder] Leichsenring said venue owners were often closing their doors earlier to save on costs, as revenue from drink sales tended to drop off in the early morning hours.

> More restrictive licensing rules after Covid-19 have also become an issue for clubs and promoters in cities across the globe

> The increased popularity of daytime events and festivals is another factor

> One executive in the entertainment industry said younger people were less inclined to go out raving until 6am as they were more health conscious and less frivolous with money than previous generations




1 makes sense, somewhat.

2 sounds like a bunch of bullshit. WHICH more restrictive licensing rules? WHERE were the rules made, everywhere? There are no new rules where I live. HOW did these mythical rules impact things? WHAT the fuck is this guy talking about?

3 and 4 are: tastes change. People don't like sock hops anymore the same way they don't like raves anymore.
