In thinking we had a better time partying than are children will have, due to the times we live in.

I can't believe I have found the Hitman and Her from Discotheque Royale September 18 1992 because I was there.

the Show starts at 7 Minutes and 40 seconds.

I was two weeks from my 18th Birthday when I Wagged off my two last lessons in the Upper Sixth to meet a older friend. at three P.M we took the train from Euston to Piccadilly. The Saturday night Sunday Morning we stayed at my friends cousins flat. I lied to my mother saying that after my job had finished at 10 at Blockbuster I was going to stay at a friends house. The school reprimanded me severely , but I was not suspended (which I guess would happen today) my mother was just disappointed with me and issued no sanctions against me.

This particular night probably shaped my future as a year later I went to Manchester University, staying in Manchester/Cheshire for the next 22 years. Therefore identify more as a Northerner than Southerner !

Can your imagine the consequences and fear from school and ourselves

Classic old person thinking. My parents and in law's think you can't have had as much fun as those partying in the 60s and 70s. You think the 80s were a golden era. I think the 90s rocked, the 00s were when it all started to go wrong with clubbing and nowadays going out is expensive and overhyped with punters being milked for every dollar, all captured on social media and more bothered about the likes than the actual experience. BUT to today's young people our (wildly derivative) culture is where its at.

Everyone thinks they invented having a good time and need to show the old folks how it's really done.

I think todays kidsare smarter about getting wasted.

Plus I was underage drinking by 1993 but I'd be horrified if my son's were doing that now.

I do think kids smoke more dope in public places than we ever did so everyone gets their kicks somewhere.

Maybe on the plus side their SPaG will be better than the previous generation if they spend more time in school.

Unnecessary and mean. Clearly you're feeling bad about yourself and needed to take it out on someone else.

By 1992, it was bland

Summer of love and the amazing festivals in the 1970s

I felt really sorry for those who came after and never got the chance to party like we did.

(TL:DR - every generation thinks this)

@Dumpling89 maybe the kids will have a better sense of humour as well?

Someone is projecting here but it isn't me.

Oooooooh edgy aren't ya 😂

I guess I agree with all of the posts. Younger friends are getting divorced because they realised they never had that hedonistic time to really discover themselves.

Ok we did that by taking drugs, binge drinking and sleeping with inappropriate guys which was maybe not the best. But I'm sure that saving, studying and going straight into the drudge of work without any chance to go wild is soul crippling for many people.
