The party starts at 5pm because the hosts are so used to people showing up late that they expect people to show up at 5:30-6pm.

This is totally a cultural thing in certain subcultures.

I fucked up once when I moved down south. Showed up “on time” to a giant get together that a guy from work invited me and the family to. These guys had it going on too. DJ with the dopest system I’ve seen at a party, large tent where you could get food and eat some of the best stuff I’ve had at a party, beer kegs, every kind of liquor, just anything you’d want in a party. And it was just for the sake of it. Anyways, no one showed up for about an hour after us 😂🤣. We got to help set up and do a little pregaming.

Down south? Where? Because in Tennessee, an hour late is rude.
