Have you ever been to a raging house party in your life?

[Danny_dan92]

For those that don’t know what this means: a house party that has A LOT of people. To the point where there is very little room to move around and you have to squeeze past people to get anywhere.


How was it?


I’ve only been to one, and it was a Halloween party. I only remember pulling my friend out of a fight. And a random girl grabbed my arm and told me I look like her ex.

I've been to a few back in the day, the last one was a Halloween party about 10 years ago. I had to get my drunk friend out of there because he was about to get his ass kicked by a bunch of dudes for acting like a pirate and trying to get up on their girlfriends. The last guy you want drunk at a party.

The one before that was also a Halloween party about 15 years ago. Some random dude from my friend's work started talking shit to my brother (the other last dude you want drunk at a party), my brother headbutted dude's fucking teeth out and broke his nose. The guys top teeth sunk into my brother's fat forehead and cut open a meat flap. The dude's blood went everywhere and all these hot girls started screaming. I grabbed my brother and pressed his hand on his forehead meat flap and told him to hold it, then got him the fuck out of there. That situation turned into a bunch of crazy shit a few days later, but that's another story. Needless to say, we were banned from any more parties thrown by that friend and that crowd hahaha

I just saw this question again. I forgot to say that I've been to some real ragers in the 90s and parties just haven't compared since then. Backyard bands playing, houses getting trashed, etc. I remember one time my brother and my friend's bands played at this Warehouse when I was 18. That shit was fucking insane. My friend was on stage while they were playing blowing 15 ft fireballs over the crowd with Zippo fluid in his mouth, my hair on fire for the second time in my life that night.

I've probably been to over a hundred. I used to go to 3-5 parties a week, sometimes many more. It was pretty normal on weekends to party hop and go to several in one night. Even parties in the middle of the week were not unusual. Not all of those were shoulder-to-shoulder people, but a lot were.

We'd just drive around looking for them. Maybe yell out the car window at intersections asking if they knew of any parties. Or drive through housing developments looking for a bunch of cars in front of a house. If we'd see a bunch of cars, we'd park and walk in. There was no such thing as invitations - not unless someone was straight as hell. They were all open parties and the more the merrier.

yeah, one year my dad had a few when i was a kid

went to a college one at 15 (terrible decision) but i haven't really heard of any since and dont wanna go to one. feel like they're rare

[Danny_dan92]

15 years old?

[MemeSupreme]

yeah, with a friend

[Danny_dan92]

Wild. In any case glad nothing bad happened.

[Eddaisy]

Hayır, öyle No, those kinds of places are not for me

[Telekinetic-Potato]

A few. The first one I went to some hoodrats showed up and one of them got into a yelling match with some guy, knocked into this short kid while they were pushing eachother, which made the short kid fall into his girl who was practically 7 feet tall and then all the hoodrats saw when he turned around was his girl knocking something over and the short kid looking like a deer in headlights.

Someone's arm got dislocated.

We ran from the cops

I played a few punk rock gigs at house shows/parties when I was younger. They were fun, not particularly rowdy either, just not really my style, especially these days… but yeah… good times were had.

I wouldn’t have turned down an opportunity to play a show back then.

[lolibaia]

I grew up going to different international schools across the world and most of the students are rich kids who had zero repercussions whatsoever. Therefore, we hosted the most insane parties that would cost over 3K to host. People would hook up with each other, drink, do drugs, jump in pools, drive golf carts around. It was peak.

[beenherebefore]

Not exactly. The Party I went through was packed but you could still move around. That's the same party I've been spiked.

[Danny_dan92]

That must’ve been scary. Glad you’re ok

[beenherebefore]

I didn't realize what was happening until the next day when I told my Partner what had happened. Since then I haven't touched a dropped of alcohol ever again.

[JuliaCartorez]

I have been to a few and it is always fun but I blackout at most of them.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah same. One of the main reasons why I stopped drinking alcohol

[JuliaCartorez]

I still drink on occasion I am just more careful than I used to be.

[Danny_dan92]

I stopped. Never really liked the taste of alcohol and it’s unhealthy and expensive

[seeyounexttuesday]

I’m Gen X. My entire life from 16-30 was raging house parties.

[jshm2]

Was the source of many, back in the uni days.

[leahzrc]

I wouldn't be caught dead at one of those places

[Danny_dan92]

I understand. I personally haven’t done anything similar to it or have drank alcohol in over decade at this point. This was when I was much younger and was trying things out

[leahzrc]

good for you

[HisBro]

Yes and I've even held a couple! What a blast!

[Sweety_Torneeya]

It must be a fascinating experience for you.

[Danny_dan92]

Ehh. It was just different

[Sweety_Torneeya]

May be

[Anonymous]

Yes I have, and it was too crowded for my taste.

But at least I saw some hot girls.

[Elliegirl]

Do parties at frat houses count?

[Danny_dan92]

Probably

[Elliegirl]

There were some real ragers I went to at some frat houses in college

[Danny_dan92]

Lol I bet

[zagor]

Been there. Done that. Don't remember.

[thestyx]

No, ever

[jahaims]

Yeah

[bunniesrcute]

nope
