When did Halloween get like this?

When I was younger Halloween was just about a school disco, and then when I was at uni it was a night out clubbing in fancy dress (or a flat party). It was never a huge thing.

Tonight while walking home from work there was masses of teens shouting abuse at everyone, smashing bottles and just being shits. More teens on the bus shouting abuse at everyone who wasn’t dressed up. I got called a miserable fat cunt because I wasn’t in a costume.

When did this happen? When did society get like this? I only left uni five years ago and it feels like it’s changed massively since then

i don’t celebrate Halloween - I celebrate day of the dead with my connections to Mexico

Nov 1-2 - I build an altar in my house and remember all my loved ones who have died

I think it says something more about society and how people are just getting by…

Blame society not young people

You'd have been perceptive enough to realise I had a Day of the Dead costume and not a Halloween one...
