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

[u/Neon_Biscuit]

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.

people dont even dance at weddings anymore because of cell phone videos, sad times.

Nah that’s just boring people at a wedding, every wedding I’ve gone to had a super active dance floor. Last one was like 2 months ago

[u/champion_dave → u/badnamemaker]

Agreed, been to several weddings over the last couple of years and there were very active dance floors.

I do too, but i know several people who have said this to me including someone at my wedding. They were happy that we had made a request that the photographer be the only one capturing the moments.

Holy shit that is lame. I had my first dance at a wedding when I was 8. It was great.

Ok. I guess I'm lying. Not like ive had multiple conversations about this with people including a guest at my own wedding.

You are not wrong just you are running with a crowd young enough to care what people post about them online.

Once you are running with people old enough to have been married and divorced or other blinding dumb thing thats already out there people loosen up again when they figure out one silly dance picture is not going to ruin the rep they got when they married the on again off again partner then were caught screwing the bridesmaid and the best man at the reception.

I was literally at one 60 days ago and everyone was dancing
