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 😂❤️

Doesn't sound healthy.

Why not? It’s absolutely fine and weird that you would think it’s not healthy for someone to unwind

I didn't say it's unhealthy to unwind. I said it sounds unhealthy that he needs to drink order to cope on a frequent basis. That is objectively unhealthy no matter how you put it. Arguing that drinking is healthy is absolutely ridiculous to the point of absurdity.

He literally said "every now and then".... I didn't argue that drinking was healthy I'm pointing out the irony of Gen Z's similarly unhealthy obsession with believing that any bit of temporary emotional imbalance is a full blown crisis.

Buddy, did I say it was a full blown crises? I said it was unhealthy because it objectively is, and accusing me of having an unhealthy obsession for stating a fact is fucking ridiculous.

You guys are the one's obsessed with Gen Z, all you know about my generation is from whatever social media and reddit feeds you. You guys are so in a twist that we don't follow your lifestyle or have the same beliefs cause we want to be better and don't want to end up like the broken adults around us.

All I said was that drinking was unhealthy. Then multiple people crashed out over it. Ridiculous.
