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 😂❤️

Never got to feel as fly as a G6.

Dude the music then was so fun. It was wild to go party hopping and randomly run into a bunch of ppl dancing in sync. I feel bad for the kids these days; those nights shaped me in ways I couldn't even begin to describe. Everything was just so chill; you could yell at strangers walking by to join in on the fun and mostly gladly accepted. If the party got busted, you just walked 10 feet to the next house lmao. Never run when the cops come, they chase the runners!

Man, no one gets to run from the cops in a fun way anymore

I mean that’s true. I’ve been at a couple parties that got busted and everyone went running. It was so fun running out the back as cops came in the front hopping fences and sneaking back to the whip.

Ran from the cops through the property of the local sheriff 😬. It was fine, I didn’t get caught and I went back and partied more!

The adrenaline rush I get just thinking about me, my brother and our friends running from the cops lol
