Ok, so it's my mates 25th Birthday tomorrow and she has opted for Corp. I have never been before, but am slightly worried whether I will like it. I don't mind rock music. but I'm more of a cheesy easy rock person myself- paramore, fallout boy etc-you get the picture!? I can't handle METAL!

My mate has similar tastes to me but loves it, she says its brilliant.

What do I wear, will I cry from bleeding ears?

In a more positive note- any Fred Durst lookalikes feel free to approach me haha

Plenty of cheesy 'old skool' rock in the main room, so its a good night, it's never excessively too loud so you won't be screaming at people all night. Probably the ONLY place worth going to on a Saturday night in Sheffield.....

I think you would be more suited to Fridays or Mondays going on your tastes. Dress code is nothing to worry about, jeans and a t shirt will feature quite heavily. The heavier metal is confined to the small downstairs room and the cyber goth nutters have got the upper main room. The big room downstairs will have 80s cock rock and some modern favourites from what i can remember. There is usually something for everyone who likes rock/metal but failing that just get hammered :D

Thanks guys, I feel a bit better now. I'm either gona wear jeans, t shirts and hoodie, or cropped trousers, tights n starry flats with my starry t shirt. i think thatll do tbh

Just a question for an old metal fart what is cyber goth sopposed to be?

When I have been upstairs recently the music upstairs I have to say sounds more like feeble dance music:gag:

Not the sort of thing I would expect to hear in a rock/metal venue:suspect:

You can wear whatever you want at corp just be aware some numpty's bound to throw there drink on you from above the main room and your going to have to paddle in the p*** in the toilet floor.

CYBER GOTH:
Cyber, also referred to as cyber culture or cyberculture, is the name given to a subculture that has roots in multiple music scenes including the European Dark scene and rave/clubbing scenes. Someone who identifies with the Cyber subculture can be referred to as a "cyber", although the term "cybergoth" is used to refer to what is perceived by some as a goth-influenced end of the subculture, and "cyberkid" to refer to those who attend trance/hard dance clubs. While science-fiction inspired fashion and an interest in electronic dance music are two areas that define the cyber subculture, cybers also tend to have a general interest in new and future technology, an optimistic view of its influence on society, and other such cyberculture topics. The subculture enjoys niche status and a relatively small following.

Any wiser? that came from Wikipedia BTW As it says it has its roots in rave music as well as other genres, so it may well sound a bit 'dancy' from time to time...you either like it or hate it....

Not many requests for goth music down at the Dove, we tend to be more traditional rock and metal with a splash of punk.....

Thanks for that I should have known your font of knowledge would be of assistance:)

I must say there are so many different genres of rock, metal, goth etc these days its enough to puddle your brain!

In my day you just liked rock music:hihi:

All I can say is thank god you dont get many requests for Cyber goth and please can we keep it that way if I wanted to hear dance I would go to the many venues that already cater for this crap in the city!!!!

You call dance music crap... So what's your take on the likes of White Zombie/Rob Zombie/NIN?? I wouldn't describe them as cybergoth but they definately have a dance element to their music. I presume Corporation plays their tunes?

Corp

1 - Don't wear decent shoes
2 - Wear anything else that you like, no-one cares. I tend to wear a bustier/corset, combats, platform trainers and more make up that an AVON catologue.
3 - Main room for old skool, cheesy rock, hair metal etc. Small room for Thrash Death etc. Upstairs for Goth and Cyber.
4 - Its a good night to just have fun and let your hair down, just go with the flow.

I'll be there next week. :D

I quite enjoyed my night out. However, lots of people said it's cheap there! It was £4.90 for a double vodka and coke, but if I got double vodka and red it was £2.50. Whats that all about??????

Haha i no what you mean hun.

Did you try malibu and chocolate milk? they taste like bounties < spelling

Cybergoth is awesome. I'm much more partial to stuff like aggrotech than futurepop though.

Haha i no what you mean hun.

My mate was drinking malibu and strawberry milk. Looked like Sperm. I gave it a miss

Pink sperm is not normal.

Pink sperm is not normal.

It wasn't pink. It was white lol

Corps good but just be warned of the dreaded "Corp Juice", black thick gunk that goes on your trainers and comes from good knows where!

Grrr I ended up at corp a couple of weeks ago when I didn't expect to be going, S my trainers! :mad:

Corp is overpriced, sticky and not really enjoyable 80% of the time.

I dont like them particularly thats just my own personal opinion and I will stick to it. I got into rock metal for great guitar orientated music not to listen to dance music thanks very much but each to their own I soppose:hihi:

Dance music is music specifically designed for people to dance to. Just because music is electronic, it doesn't always denote it's just "dance music". People dance to mainstream rock/metal in clubs; it doesn't make it 'dance music'.

I spend more time listening to EBM at home than I do dancing to it in clubs, by far.

Sorry I just dont like the music no matter what you say it does nothing for me personally infact some of it actually does make me feel physically ill:(

I am not joking on that side either I have had to leave venues before now when they have started playing it. The vibration makes me feel sick:gag:

:confused:

Each to their own, but it was awful for me. It baked my head

Ahh - how we miss "Rebels" ... *sigh* ...

Ahh - how we miss "Rebels" ... *sigh* ...

Im a Rebel! Just make sure im in bed with a book by half 11 and we can paint the town red until then! :P

corp is great. pity i now live miles away:(

i have to have my say on this thread!love corp to bits!, in my opinion its best on a friday night, downstaris starts off with rock/metal but towards the end moves into more mainstream drum and base/trance pendulum, "top room" as its known plays general 80s pop, soft pop rock and the occasional dance trackcorp slime is part of the night, i actually have developed a love for the grotty smell, it smells like good nights past! lol the people are the nicest i have eva known, no arrogant twats and snotty bitches, you can have a laugh and a joke with someone you've just met.overall you cannot go wrong, anyone who agrees i reckon we all meet up at get ****** together on £2.50 vodka and red (or red horse as its known...its not bull THAT is why its so cheap lol) and blue vodka so if we throw up in the dingy toilets at least its a pleasant colour! :D

Corporation is terrible. Please do not misunderstand me here, I've got no problems at all with rockers, goths, metalers, or any combination of cyber-techno-retro-future-goth-death-grindcore or anything, some of it's really good and I for one would like to see and go to more places where strange music and strange people are the norm.
It's just that it seems (to someone like me who doesn't go looking) that there's hardly anywhere except corp for any of these folks or this music to go, and the place is a total joke.
The other night I went with some friends, I've been there before and thought it was a bit crap, but allowed myself to be persuaded by the 'yeah, it's a bit crap, but it'll be a laugh' kind of argument.
My friends went in before me, so it was too late to try a last minute change of plan when I discovered they wanted SIX QUID to get in - yeah you read it right - they wanted ME to pay THEM £6 for the dubious honour of being allowed into their horrid venue.
A further £1.50 to put my coat in the cloakroom meant I'd already been relieved of £7.50 before even buying a drink, when I went to do so I was not impressed.
The drinks available in there are not of a very high quality, having looked at what was on offer I was leaning toward not buying anything, but thinking 'I'll be here for a while, I might as well have a drink or two and do my best to enjoy myself' (ha) I ordered a double Jack Daniel's and coke - £3.00.
I was then amazed to see the girl serving me turn to a line of plastic glasses on the bar, all of which already had some kind of brown liquid in them, and top one of these up with coke - I have no idea whether this was actually Jack Daniel's, as I didn't see it come out of a branded bottle, but whatever it was, there was certainly no alcohol in it, as it had been sat evaporating away on the bar for some time. I'm no expert on this kind of thing, but surely this is illegal?
Anyway, having been thoroughly ripped off, I then checked the place out, and was depressed by what I found. The place was half empty, the DJ in the big room downstairs kept talking over the music, not that anything he said was remotely intelligible, and I got a very strong impression that the people who were there only attend the place because there's NOWHERE ELSE to go, which over time has mutated into some kind of bizzare, tragic loyalty, no one seemed excited or happy to be there (yeah I know a lot of them were goths, but all the same) and people seemed to be drinking the overpriced, alcohol-free ripoff "booze" just to try and numb themselves against the fact that it had come to this: they'd gone to corp. (shudder)
Don't ever go there. It's terrible. Please, please, someone open some new place that's good.

Its dirty **** **** music ugly people and gay bouncers! Have the place leeds bradford much better than that place yuk!

It's not as good as the old corporation and was a lot more fun when it was the Unit

Ok, here we go...

On some nights, yes, it is £6 entry IF YOU ARRIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT, although you can get in for about a quid between 9.30-10pm, and 3 or 4 quid 10-12.

The cloakroom is indeed £1.50, although worth it to save you're coat getting covered in beer/ sweat etc...you don't have to use this service if you don't want.

As for the spirits, i have no doubt in my mind that the drink you got was the one you ordered.
On certain nights, some spirits sell much faster than other drinks due to offers (Sat-dbl JD+Coke £3.00), and to save time and get people served quicker, some staff will pour a few JD's in advance, adding the coke when the drink is ordered, in the same way a sandwich shop will often have ready made/part made sandwiches ready for busy periods)

Sounds great, just like the club me and my gf left behind at home :) Bet our floors are stickier though, never found a stickier floor yet.

Not a proper Northerner. We don't wear coats on nights out.

Surely you can tell the taste of Jack Daniel's?
I'll have to try the trick of leaving my spirits out on a bar for a while. Didn't know it got rid of all the alcohol by evaporation. Wonder if it will stand up in court if I drive home afterwards?



It was better before it relocated tho.
And it has always amazed me that just because you're a goth/emo/punk/lopper etc, it means you aren't able to p*ss into a trough or flush a lav.
