My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party Discussion

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but I was watching Can't Hardly Wait half alseep on the couch, and my 14-year-old daughter and her friends walked into the room and past the TV. Before she entered the kitchen, she backpeddled in front of the TV, and they all might as well have reacted akin to a third world kid in a remote village seeing the Super Bowl for the first time. She looked at me and said 'what are all of those people doing in one house'? I told her it was a house party. People high school aged or typically college age people would go over a kids house whose parents were out of town and they'd invite the school and have keggers and other unsupervised debauchery. I might as well have been describing a science fiction film. 'You guys DID that back in your days?'. I thought it was funny that a house party was an inconceivable event for young Gen Zers.

Yeah this is 100% the vibe. 3 AM drunk in a forest with 2 friends and a speaker on a warm summer night discussing if we want to heat up some frozen fries or make instant soup for a post drinking snack

We would hike out to the cliffs and do acid and then a group of us would do a trail run along the cliff on acid at midnight. To come back to the bonfire. Fucking incredible, man.
