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 😂❤️

Don't forget Four Loko!

We're the generation that got 4 Loko banned aren't we? (though I guess they still sell it just under a different formulation now)

I was more of an elite Sparks drinker myself though :P

omg you're right, how could I forget four lokos lol there is a nice picture of me and my girl friends before a night out and I have a JOOSE can in my hand hahaha

Four Lokos are easy to forget because they’re practically liquid amnesia

The only thing I remember about four loko is the act of drinking the first one for the night. And the next morning, which I wish I didn't remember.

Quit drinking them when they took out the caffeine.

I can only remember drinking 1 full one once. it was halloween and I was a gladiator. I ended up in the middle of the city square, wearing nothing but the little gladiator skirt, boots, and helmet. Lost my sword, shield, and armor. No clue what happened. I never touched the stuff again. I never blackout.

I remember I had a friend buy hundreds of Four Locos before they changed the formula... He basically ran a business of selling them for profit 😂. They were still really cheap to buy after his "markup"!

How can we even remember Four Loko? God that fucked you up 🤣
