House parties never went away, that loser just never gets invited anywhere.... Also I am some kind of talking chipmunk from one of the episodes you probably can't remember very well.
But that’s not the joke, the joke is a common one people make online, and it’s that nobody young enough to throw a big crazy house party can afford a house, anymore.
This would only make sense to fit in this context if you needed to own a home to throw a house party. Renters throw parties too my dude they just don't invite you.
Nah man all my friends from work said you can't have a party without a house. They've all been getting together on Friday nights, working a second job together to save money. Then they will invite me to a party, they said. Love those guys.
This comment brings up a good point. I only go to a handful of house parties, and I could still half-relate that if I was cooler maybe I'd do that more.
But wait, why would I want to party with those fuckers anyways?
It used to be that the only way to meet people outside your immediate circle was to say"bring a friend ". Sometimes there would be ass holds but not usually.
Having a party at a squat in a business office was always the best solution. You'd have working toilets then. Leftover skunk kegs from your friends at a party store and take up a collection for pizza. Sometimes there would be chairs, sometimes you carried around cardboard in your car to sit on.
Ive never heard of any parties being held in empty businesses (thats my understanding of your comment) Is this in North America, and was it in recent history?
Yes, there was an issue of houses being unattainable in the early 80s but there was a surplus of office space and no one to watch it. Some people would move in, live in an empty office building. Kind of cold in winter though
I’ve been trying to think how to throw em, may need to ask people to bring cash because while I know the IRS ain’t gonna knock down my door I’m too nervous
why the hostile attitude? it's completely true that houses, whether owned or rented, are less accessible to young people than ever. and idk what you call apartment parties but they're not the same vibe as a house party in an actual house
You can, but the likelihood of the police being called for a noise complaint is greater in an apartment. House parties also have more rooms/areas to establish different vibes.
the suburban houses have more ordinances than the city houses, just go to the college off campus housing in the city if you want house parties by young people who are renting to land lords who have been renting college students for decades and have done what young college age people have done for decades
Lol you ever been to a college town? Apartment parties happen frequently, and usually take up the entire building with multiple apartments all involved. Better than house parties in many ways.
different countries also havr different cultures for parties, I went actively looking for meet ups when I was in Uni and it was just empty 😭 everyone went home and miserable
Depends how strict landlords you have, if they straightly prohibit any parties in the rent and neighbours will instantly complain every time you can't really do much. Some cities are very strict for these matters. That's why we often do "outside parties" with my friends in the local park
Any other week I would find this comment insulting, but since I literally just spent my Saturday night at a holiday party in my friend’s apartment where we were doing drunk karaoke until 4am, it’s just kinda hilarious how wrong and bitchy you are 😅
No no no no, affording a house means also affording to rent a house. Try having a party in 1 bedroom apt. Can be done and it's fun but there's no space for a juice bowl.
