After reading the article, the claim that clubbing is good for your health according to neuroscientists is misleading, in my opinion. The Apple news article gives a breakdown of a documentary, "We Become One, which interviews neuroscientists about flow state and inter-brainsynchrony during dancing and feeling vibrations in the music. While this phenomenon is real and it has shown that dancing and being in a group do help reduce stress, improve mood, and help with social bonding (Bittman et al., 2003; Tarr et al., 2016), there is no hard evidence that clubbing itself helps. For the most part, when you think of clubbing, and the reality of it is loud music, late nights, drugs, and alcohol, these things are proven to not be beneficial for your health in any way. The documentary takes clubbing as a setting for positive effects, but this exaggerates what it is actually like. While dancing and shared music experiences can benefit your mental wellbeing, claiming that clubbing itself are good for health is quite misleading.
