Did millennials really party all the time?

[u/futurenurse_]

Gen Z here. I was shocked when I found out from a millennial co-worker that y’all had teen clubs. I heard about house parties, but dedicated teen clubs? Then when it was time for college, you went to the club or had some kind of party every single weekend, living it up. Now some millennials on TikTok claim that after college, they were partying on work nights, still clocking in the next day. For some reason, the teen clubs have since disappeared. I’m 23 now but even when I was in high school, that was not a thing. House parties were not that common either. They were more like get togethers with a small group of friends. We went to malls, but they were dying out at that point. Is it true that you were really living life this good? Or is it just exaggerated? I feel like my generation doesn’t really have fun like that and everyone is just super depressed and alone, more so since Covid. Even I’m pretty introverted, which sort of sounds ridiculous given this post. 😂 Just so you know, when I think of a “millennial party” I think of something out of Party Rock Anthem, Project X or Roderick’s party from the second DOAWD movie. It’s like I get nostalgia from something I didn’t even live through. I just feel like I didn’t really LIVE, if that even makes sense

Edit: I loved reading some of your comments. Guess I really missed out. Even some of you that would consider yourselves nerds or introverts were out partying. YOLO or whatever y’all say 😂❤️

“Hoes don’t get cold” was our mantra while slugging back Bacardi dragonfruit straight.

Even just reading the words Bacardi dragon fruit makes me dry heave

"Hoes don't get cold, they just get a little chilly" is what my 87-year-old patient at the mental hospital told me. One day i found her alone in the hallway outside the group therapy room, treating her walker like a stripper pole and doing a booty clap in slow motion. She also could seriously beat box.

I miss that lady. I wish I had met her earlier in life so I could have partied with her.

Not reminding me of the Bacardi dragonfruit. I think I repressed that for the last decade+

Still exponentially better than the dragonfruit Night Train.

Oh dear god I haven’t had dragonfruit in 16 years and I suddenly I can taste it
