The reason its a requirement to snort cocaine or get pissed is precisely because parties suck.
You go to better parties than me... Though drinking is common here.
I dunno, not that there are many parties at my age, but back in the day they were a great way to meet new people through extended friend circles. Also, since I also once upon a time danced salsa, the dance parties were awesome.
Depends on the group perhaps.
I never got into the sit around drinking and listen to Nirvana thing in my teens, but I didn't mind the odd rave.
Well I don't go to them haha. But yeah if you like dancing then that's another thing entirely I suppose, equating to actually doing something you enjoy, rather than standing around pretending you enjoy. I realise lately I'm not too keen on creating more versions of myself for the sake of others. But that's a topic for another day!
