Tidesphere comments on 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'

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.

I'm almost forty and regularly hosted parties like this all through high school. So mileage must vary.

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
