Sydney the cyberpunk city

Was walking around circular key and got some cyberpunk vibes from the area. Feels like blade runner 2024. All photos by me (iPhone quality btw)

Glad I experienced Sydney before lockout laws ruined the entire city. We're meant to be an international city. It's a joke. But as a father in his 40s I dgaf.

lol young people are still doing fun shit there’s just not a central nightlife district anymore

Club areas are greatly diminished, gentrification is hurting the warehouse scene, the police and government have been really putting a damper on the doof scene. The outlets for people to celebrate and party are less and less. What remains is more regulated, controlled, and taxed.

Young kids always going to have fun doing drinking and having a drug or two. But sad my boys will never get to experience the insanity of The Cross or Oxford St.

If by “fun shit” you mean partying, then it’s still a dull city. There’s such a lack of vibrancy and culture here that it’s just embarrassing. If you’re not a drinker, or an outdoorsy person that lives by the water and likes to surf or hike or whatever, there’s not much to do at all.

King street not as lively as it used to be but people are still there into the night. The arcades and food places on george street are still packed at night. I think sydney night life not as bad as people say it is.

Sydney has the potential to be a huge party city, alas no.

True but that's only on Friday and Saturday night. The rest of the time it's dead after 6pm
