Seeing this question asked is sort of sad. Did this become a less common experience? What killed it?

I mean, I'm a millennial in mid-thirties and I'd never heard of anyone actually doing a party like this either, so even in the 90s/00s these were things that seemed like 'stuff they used to do before'
I'm almost forty and regularly hosted parties like this all through high school. So mileage must vary.
I am an elder millennial, and we partied like this all the time. We also hung out during the week in large groups until the wee hours of the morning.
But we were a mix of lower middle class so our parents were too busy surviving to care what we were up to, sprinkled in with some upper middle class who had the resources and parents that were too self absorbed to care.
early thirties and we had plenty of these during post-secondary
late high school parties were more of a field party than indoors
same and my experience was that parties existed but there used to be more wild parties with alcohol involved
Me neither. But I grew up in the city. There was no space in apartments for 100 people. Maybe 10 people stacked on top of each other.
