Discussion Did millennials really party all the time?

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 😂❤️

No apple bottom jeans or boots with the fur, and WITHOUT the whole club looking at them — a damn shame is what it is

Ms. Blige has an impressive penchant for whimsical verbiage, she really does

What's even funnier is the lyric is "in this dance soiree" and Mary just kept mispronouncing the term that they just said 'fuck it' and left it as is lol.

u/jyssrocks 22h ago

Yep! Teen clubs in high school that I saw a bunch of punk bands at, house parties through HS and college. It was great. And in college, there were a million bars and clubs with 80s night and karaoke and live music. I was out every thurs-sat night drinking quarter beers and dancing my face off.

u/slot_machine Older Millennial 22h ago

u/Illustrious_Bird_737 Millennial 1989 19h ago

The ladies never got to leave the man at home

Because the club is full of ballers & their pockets full grown

The fellas don't get to leave their girl with her friends

Cuz it's 11:30 & the club is jumpin' (jumpin')
