      Right? I’m sure kids are still having house parties when they get their first apartments and when their parents are out of town, but now that we’re all adults “house parties” turned into dinner parties and a quiet bottle of wine with a few friends

    I’m thinking y’all just grew up.

    Take it from a noise control officer, there’s plenty of house parties around especially during the summer, it’s just university (for Americans: college) students far younger than me blasting music, sometimes at smaller flats, sometimes in large houses rented out by 5+ students. I’m not that old either but man, not a fan of that new party music.

    I’m in what most would consider a medium sized town and there are manyy houses parties per suburb (even the quiet ones) during summer. They’re around for sure, just attended by people under 25.

    I’m giving off get off my lawn energy aren’t I?

      No, you give off normal factual energy.

      It’s the OP in the tweet who gives off get of my lawn energy. I don’t get invited to house parties, they must not exist.

      We get older, and many of us don’t want/can’t get lit and wake up at 1 pm the next morning.

      It’s fine that young people do it. And when we were young and partied, older people at the time didn’t like our music either.

      That’s how it is.

      There’s a house down the block that blasts psychedelic jam sessions out the garage once in a while. I love it!

      Even when you do know everyone… I threw a house party last month, and before it I went around and made sure any prescription drugs were locked away. You just don’t know who secretly has a pill problem…

      I think people always stole shit though.

          Did you not read my post? No one stole anything I’m just not naive enough to think I can recognize if someone is struggling with a pill addiction. It’s very easy to keep those under wraps.

    For me, it’s more about liability. If I provide you liquor and you get drunk and drive home and kill someone in an auto accident, they can sue me. Hell, you can sue me.

    In college we had apartment parties regularly, no need for a whole house to house a party.

    We still do once a year, invite only or know someone with one. I assume they all went this route

      You just made me feel the oldest. I spent 2010-2015 in a constant stream of house parties. And yeah, they’re not. Our society has been really rapidly breaking down for the last decade. I’m not saying it’s because of the rise of fascism, but they’re definitely correlated. I’d guess they both have a similar root cause of a vanishing middle class as the upper classes steal more and more from society at large

    We have assembled inside this ancient and insane theater to propagate our lust for life and flee the swarming wisdom of the streets. The barns are stormed, the windows kept, and only one of all the rest to dance and save us with the divine mockery of words. Music inflames temperament. When the true king’s murderers are allowed to roam free, a thousand magicians arise in the land.
    Where are the feasts we were promised?
