Okay, that explains the repetition, still not sure at what state I'd have to be in for Sting to come on. Roxanne at a real push (and definitely no creepy Don't Stand So Close to Me)1 Search for a song

4 as its only song in play list, it repeats forever
Years ago I had a neighbour who after a hard night out fell asleep with his cd player on.
It had a scratch and kept skipping / repeating a 10 second loop for 5 hours.
Think with neighbours, its give and take. Have an agreement with my neighbour now no loud music after midnight, which to be fair I do tend to stick to. After my dad passed loudness and time wasn't high in my priorities haha1 Search for a song

I had a looky looky man lift my phone out of my pocket, stupidly me and my cousin saw red, chased and cornered him (we're both big lads), he shit himself and gave it back, but some lads caught up to us and made us realise how badly that could have ended for us if they called for backup etc
You are now converted, welcome to the club. The same thing happened to me in 98
For me, the parts of ibiza that I love still remain, I just have to actively look for it (parties that aren't VIP, aren't expensive, aren't for show/instagram, people not on their phones etc). I've been going to ibiza for 12 years and ibiza now has a bit more polish to it, if that maes sense? Which isn't a bad thing at all. Living in Ibiza during the pandemic opened my eyes to the beaches, restaurants and other spots that I had missed because I was too focused on partying in the pastThis may seem like a bit of a rant, but is anyone else getting kind of fed up with the " ibiza isn't what it used to be" comments? I see tons of these particularly on social media (tiktok/instagram being the main offenders) and they seem to be on the increase, it's like some people ( naming no names other than a certain tiktok ibiza club ticket salesman!) want the island to lose it's tourism and charm!
Ultimately the island itself and its beauty will never change, but the club scene is naturally going to evolve over time the same way anything else does. Go back to the 90s and i'm sure the clubs wouldn't be the only thing that is strikingly different to now. YES ticket prices and drinks prices are up significantly on what they used to be but let's be honest Ibiza has never been the cheapest place to get a beer in a club.
Additionally I can't help but think the people that make these comments simply have either only ever been to ibiza once or twice OR only ever go for the clubs and nothing else. As everyone on this forum knows there are incredible restaurants, beaches, hikes and so much more available to us.
YES the government and police are making it harder for certain parties to take place at certain times of the day and that is both a shame and needs to be addressed properly, but to the people saying " Ibiza is dead " - look closer. I was on the island last week and had just as much of a good time as I ever have - even managed to come home with a kidney infection for good measure!
BTW - None of the above is aimed at anyone on this forum, just a general observation from me

I posted about that Ibiza Guy a few days back after I saw him hammering an Ibiza veteran on one of his posts.

, look at the Superclub scene in the UK, that came and was amazing, it changed and some brands went. like other scenes and brands before it. But the UK still has amazing clubs rammed every week

London ain't what it used to be
I vehemently disagree with Ibiza being way too rammed now, it's always been busy, moreso when I first went to Ibiza. I recall a night out in Pacha where I literally couldn't move, dangerously busy, now I feel like I can walk around clubs freely and have room to dance, bars aren't too busy etc. The same goes with bars. Even the flights I have been on this year are less busy than pre-covid levels and the main, key barometer of how busy Ibiza is, would be the Burger King queue in the airport, which is drastically reduced
Surely all I read on local newspapers is wrong...I vehemently disagree with Ibiza being way too rammed now, it's always been busy, moreso when I first went to Ibiza.

this is exactly my point, totally agree
It isn't what it used to be, that's kind of my point. Nothing really is what it used to be. and whilst i understand exactly why people would say that about ibiza it was never going to stay as it was - a shame, but a fact none the less!
