House Parties Going Away in America
-
I think that @JaredBusch has a point. Maybe the bigger issue was that previous generations didn't move around and knew their neighbours and could associate with people for much of their lives. Now we tend to move around other people that we know do. So the ability to have house parties with our long time friends is nearly impossible like it was with previous generations.
Maybe online communications isn't making the house party go away, maybe it is filling a gap that has already been left. The house party went away before we had Internet access.

@scottalanmiller You have a good point about being in the same place a long time. The main part of my family has been located in central georgia for 4 or 5 generations. It's rare that one of us goes to a Walmart and we don't run into a family friend or three, or perhaps another branch of the family tree.

^^^ This is the essence of small town Georgia living, and why I avoid the area where I grew up (unless I'm there to see my parents).

You must not like your family...

House Parties have been made illegal by many ordances or require a permit in many locations now sadly.

I don't like being talked about behind my back by people who act totally different to my face, so no.... Nor do I like hearing from my mom that $relative ran into me when I was at $place. I was there. I remember. I don't need a review.

That's much like the guidebooks here.... "In litigious countries like the US, you'd never be allowed to go explore a live lava flow, but here in Nicaragua, you can walk right up to the volcano edge."
