Added to the fact of the larger clubs shutting for various reasons (not all unpopularity) and the music just not being as good anymore, it's harder to get new people interested, and that's where the lifeblood of clubs is.
I don't think music is not good as it used to be, I just think good music is harder to find. In the past, we'd have only a handful of hard trancers which were amazing and a lot of crap, so the good stuff shone like a beacon of greatness. Today we have lots of good stuff in a OCEAN of medicore hard trance / hard style releases. Finding stuff that is good/excellent in relation to all the other tracks out there, is very hard. I have so many tracks with the same bass lines or ideas... I have to look deeper in to a track to see what I want and to appreciate what is good music.
