I Hate The Party Scene

I'd Rather Be Uninvited

I Hate The Party Scene
Andpop.com

Our generation ruined the word party for me. When I was a little girl and I heard the word party, I thought about a birthday party.

I got excited about the cute little invitation my mom showed me from our mailbox. The invitation would reveal the theme of the party such as disney, superman, or an animal themed party. Not the invitation that was posted on Facebook where 2,000 other people were invited and the theme was to wear anything but clothes. When I was little, the party host provided cute snacks and punch. But, the punch was not full of five different kinds of alcohol and labeled "jungle juice." The birthday parties were real, authentic, and there weren't any tricks or funny names to hide what it really was. A party meant there would be fun games like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, wheel barrow races, or water balloon games. Now, a party game is anything with the objective of seeing how drunk everyone can get or how many girls a guy can get.

Birthday parties used to have fun music on that we would run around to and jump up and down. Not "grinding" music that says just about every curse word in the book, while degrading women in every lyric. Remember when we would get so excited to see what was in our goodie bags that we got to leave with? Well, how come now it's the guy who can't wait to see what girl he is going to leave the party with?

After a birthday party being a kid, you go home with nothing but smiles. You wake up the next morning excited to play with your goodie bag from the day before and tell all your friends about the party. Now, the night of the party scene means going home and throwing up all night. Then you wake up in the morning with a huge hangover and have to ASK your friends about the party.

Don't get me wrong, I love to be social and meet new people. But, I really don't think that has to entail drunk girls, sleezy guys, cops, and lots of throw up. I think you can have a good night with a few friends and make memories you will actually remember the next day. I love my friends, my family, and myself enough to know that the "party scene" is not somewhere I want to be. So, today I would rather be at a 5-year-old's birthday party.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
