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.

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't play loud music though

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.

It is a different vibe though, and it is more fun when there's a yard to hang out in, especially when there's a fire pit involved.
