I've been seeing this for more than 10 years, not just in music. And not only in Hungary, but throughout Europe. I call it modern version of soc-comc fascism... "várjuk hogy teljen az idő" and you hardly can leave.
I remember when I got to Fabric and Ministry of Sound in London for the first (and last) time around 2008-10, I had to say that the Hungarian places and parties were 100 times better (early 2000s) .
In the Dél-Alföld around 2000, it was difficult to find a month when Palotai was not playing somewhere, especially in summer. These places were systematically shrunk. Obviously, a lot of things went into this. Population decline, money, interests.
I've seen it for 10+ years, this too has been diverted in the direction of tourism.
The last time, 5-6 years ago, when I went to 'party' in Pest in the summer, I visited 4-5 places, they were full of foreigners, the music was crap, everything was terribly expensive, the atmosphere was repulsive. They were able to reach the western level...(Let's say I was completely surprised that in Pest in 1984, with cameras everywhere, how many big and small hordes were selling their shit on every street corner completely calmly.) Who and why would go out to have fun, even if they had the money for that... or what kind of parent the one who lets his child out into this legally/illegally constructed mafia-controlled night. I suppose, these also played a big role in the aging and declining audience.
I still have good memories of Palotai parties!
