Party Evolution..

This past weekend I took a trip back to my alma mater for Homecoming. All in all... good times. Up until this weekend my day-to-day was much less than eventful, so a break was definitely past due. I cant explain how good it was to see everybody again. Some old, some young, it was juss good to catch up and see where people are in life. I stayed sippin for most of the weekend, so that also enhanced my experience juss a smidge, but even without that I would have had a PHENOMENAL time. 


While up there, I not only observed the alumni and older generation that showed up, but the new generation that is now running my old stomping grounds...


The following is not to offend or disrespect and in that regard I will refrain from mentioning any specific names of individuals or entities. Juss my opinion/perspective. Dont like it? then COMMENT... don't juss mug me next time u see me...lol




I had already heard from a few, that that the campus crowd had been downgraded as far as class goes. It was brought to my attention that there is a new wave of "ratchetness" and its spreading like wildfire. Well, excuse my ignorance, but I think I got a complete picture of what they were talking about when I attended a homecoming party this weekend. My observations, in list form, are as follows in sequential order.lol:


1. Doors swing open and the heat may have been enough for me to turn around. No problem tho. I've been at hotter venues...
2. As soon as my eyes adjust to the darkness, I see that I have mistakingly wandered into a LOCKER ROOM. 
     - guys= white tee, under armor, wife beaters, basketball shorts etc
     - girls= sneakers, shorts, and tanks... 
    ***let me be fair, and say that this did not represent the entire population, but I'm gonna go ahead and say 50%***
3. SWEAT EVERYWHERE..
4. violent dancing. lol, "hit dat hoe, franky, flex, etc" all requiring the pumping of your fists or elbows..lol
5. SWEAT EVERYWHERE
6. Fellas on fellas... u know wut i mean. Guys dancing with themselves. NOT LYIN: saw 2 dudes "jigging" one behind the other and the one behind thought it would be cool to put is hand on his potnas head while they both jigged their lives away!...c'mon man... but i digress
7. SWEAT EVERYWHERE
8. Boys talkin gun talk more and more these days ... these kids dont just fight no more..


Dress Code
I mentioned this a few times since then, and it may sound stupid, but I HATE, I repeat I HATE, ladies that dress to a party TO DANCE... 
"Nuh uh, u know I cant dance in dem heelz.."
"I cant break nobody off in that dress.."


lol. Dont get me wrong, dancing is coo, and thats what you come to a party to do usually, but lets not totally ignore the social, interpersonal aspect of a party..
Like, they REALLY be talkin bout dancin. DANCE and thats it...lol HAHAHA, sry that funny to me.
I thought men thought like this when getting ready for a party, 
"Party tonight. I want to look good for these ladies
which usually translates into you dressing accordingly..lol


Music/Dancing
A lot of that Dallas boogie stuff is fun, but damn... enough is enough. 
We may be all Jigged out .. no joke. 


Now, I am not condemning this new generation, I guess its just not me, and thats 4SURE. I am just curious to know how does this generation compare to other generations b4 it. Were old heads saying this about my generation as well? Is the disdain that we have for skinny jeans now, the same as that for the baggy jean and oversized shirt era? The truth is I DONT KNOW, but I am worried about the battlefield that is the college party at Sam... yea I said it. 


Seems like this culture came out of no where. Makes me wonder what will be the next big thing to sweep these kids away... eh. 
fellas in dresses?...nah....wait... naahhhh...
