An early, 80s & vintage sounds dance party with for Gen X – presented by Matinee Social Club @ Music for a While in Chelsea.
About this Event

Gen X has been blowing up our comments saying they need their own party, so we started one. The "Lost Generation" is a new 80s-centric dance concept by Matinee Social Club, focused on celebrating the sounds of Gen X.

For this event, The Lost Generation will be making its debut at Music for a While – a ~200 person disco in Chelsea, Manhattan. It's an elevated club atmosphere with two rooms – one for dancing, one for lounging.

What to expect?

A night of 80s & vintage pop, rock, nu wave, & disco amongst a beautiful crowd of Gen X-ers. The music will escalate by 7:00pm, pizza will be served at ~8pm and is included with your ticket.



The Music

Mostly 80s with adjacent hits from just before and after as well. Songs that defined Gen X. Inspo playlist.



Dress Code

80's vibes preferred. If you're not one for dressing up, no worries. Just no athletic wear or anything too casual.



What is Matinee Social Club?

Love to party, but also love a good night’s rest?With Matinée, you can have both.It’s a “night time” dance party that lets you have a wild night out…and be home by 11pm.

The party starts at 5pm (or 6pm), peaks at 8, over at 10. Oh and we serve pizza around 7:30pm to give you a second wind.

Some reviews from past Matinéers…


“Omg y’all solved nightlife.”“This is the most fun I’ve ever had before 9pm.’“I feel way too young to be here” – Gen Z



The Matinée Mission

Nightlife pretty much only caters to 20 somethings. Matinée wants to change that.

We’re working to create a space where our fellow Millennials and beyond can step away from adult responsibilities and let loose for a while – creating memories with old friends and hopefully make some new ones.

If that sounds like your ideal night, we hope you’ll join us.
