Male 31- I got invited for a party from 11 pm till 6 in the morning. And I didn’t have to think twice to decline it.
All night raves that are far from home (+30m travel time) I just can not be bothered. When i was in my 20s id live for that rave. But the passion is gone. I don’t want to deal with the hang over or just spend so much time on a party with people I never will see anymore.
Man I was so much more adventurous back in the day. Now I just sit in my redone garden with a nice wine

Go to the rave and pop some E. Forget being an adult.
God I hate parties. My friends girlfriend is 6 years younger than us and some of her friends are still in college. They had a Halloween party at their place and I left after less than 2 hours before it was even 10:30 pm. I just can’t handle this shit anymore or pretend it is still fun as a 32 year old dad.
Similar here, just want peace and quiet and a good rest for the next day. Nice one on the garden.
I definitely still do all night raves and parties. I just need to drink an energy drink before I go out at 9am. and hopefully I had a full night of sleep.
There is no 23 pm. The am-pm system is only applied to the 12 hour clock. So 23.00 would be 11pm.
I’m 33, sitting in a nice garden with some wine was more appealing to me even at 23, you grew up, your taste evolved, nothing to it.
You’re only young once.
Today my 2 year old dog came running in wanting me to play. I got up from my desk chair and every major joint said “LOL bad idea Grandpa.”
I still did it, but for the first 5 seconds nothing wanted to move.
Being adventurous doesn’t only mean “staying out late”. There’s lots of other adventures to have.
I still spend a late night (til 2am-4am) with friends every few months, although it’s usually at someone’s home and over cocktails, not out at a bar. Not having kids and having friends without kids obviously makes a huge difference. But yeah, we certainly don’t get started at 11pm. I’m not sure I’ve started a night that late since college.
You’ve completed your exterior journey, building the life around you.
Now it’s the start of the inward journey to explore and build your mind
I raved hard from age 17-27. Was pretty burned out from age 27-29. Went to a club rave earlier this year for my 30th and it had a $40 cover charge, no one was wearing kandi or rolling/tripping/etc, the DJ was playing bangers from the late 2010’s, and I realized that I’ve already done and lived this shit and it was actually “better back in my day”.
After blacking out and suffering a 3 day hangover, I realized that I’d rather enjoy a hike or a book or some shit lol. Someone would have to pay me to go out like that again and I’d be going home by midnight.
WTF is 23 pm
Never in my life did staying out till 6 am sound appealing to me. Getting home at 3 was usually the latest in early 20s and even that was not common.
I’d still stay out till 2ish tho if it’s a good time and good people
Sorry, won’t be able to make it as I plan on going to bed at 9pm
In my neck of the woods the main DJ is at 2am
So I go to bed at 20:00 sleep 5 hours and then go out. 😂
23pm is wild
I’m 38 and I don’t even wanna go out in the evening anymore 🤷🏻♂️😂
Dinner? Go to a friends house? Sure
Go to a bar or a party? Nope
Even into my 30s I used to LOVE going out and drinking and partying. Suddenly around 32/33 I just stopped enjoying it
It happens
32 here and never been into partying or anything of that nature. The big reason is I don’t drink and I tend to be more introverted. I never felt like I was missing anything either.
I stayed out late at times but it was doing stuff like gaming at a friend’s house, skateboarding in my late teens early 20s, or just driving around with friends listening to music. That was fun to me and I never felt the need to involve myself in anything else.
Nowadays, I’m fine staying out late but we never really do. I’ll still game with my friends though until 2-3am sometimes on the weekends.
I really like staying until 0200 or so at 30 but not in a rave/party setting
I remember being invited to a party that started at 10pm, was going to meet up with friends at their place and head over together. I get there a bit before 10, and they are all just lounging around drinking. Nothing wrong with some prefunking but it gets to be 10 30ish and I ask when we want to head out. ‘Oh we are just waiting for the coke dealer’. 11pm comes along they are now still at home doing lines, and im sitting here being like ‘I’m told old for this shit’
I’m 39 and I actually can’t remember the last time I was “out and about” after like 9:30. I get sleepy around 9 and I don’t like driving tired.
WHEN THE HELL DID I TURN INTO A GROWN UP?!
My house features better music, cheaper drinks, and shorter lines for the bathroom. Plus nobody has to drive.
58 years old and I don’t hit the club until 11pm. My secret? Take a nap.
Maturing.. Most do it, but certainly not all lol
I am 35, I can’t imagine starting a party at midnight.
Meet them for lunch tomorrow at like 1pm. Greet them with a megaphone. GOOD MORNING FELLOW MILLENIALLS.
I’m happy to ask your question, but… uh… I don’t see a question here.
The party train runs regularly at 18. Right about 27, the party train starts like always but doesn’t leave or come back on time. The music has changed, the language people use has changed, and the mood has changed. Even the drugs that you partook of feel off. At 30, the party train either leaves too early, returns too late, or doesn’t come back at all. Then you start drinking wine and listening to smooth jazz.
I quit drinking a few years ago and my party game got a lot better, but that is, after a certain time, im fucking done and just leave. lol
After my teen years i became a morning person. I’m at my best from 5 in the morning and go to bed around 8-9, so those parties became quite impossible when they start after i’ve been awake for 18 hours.
If i do party now, i prefer day drinking with some disgusting metal music playing.
Who the fuck plans a party that starts at 11pm and ends at 6? That’s some crazy hours. Even if it was I Friday night that would be a no go for me. I’d have to spend the whole weekend recovering. I’ll leave that kind of partying for college kids
I’m a sober musician and playing a show is like going to war. Events starting at 10 pm is mind boggling to me at this point in my life.
Who the fuck starts a party at 11pm?!
I’m 40 and didn’t turn in till noon last Saturday. Get your ass out there.
Raves and clubs are for the YN. Nice bars or restaurants or quiet areas to chat and catch are the best
The other night I was mad because I was getting text messages as I was going to sleep and then I realized it was 9:30.
I’m not a morning person but responsibility be like that. Needing to be up at 5 pretty consistently has wrecked the idea of late night through early morning stuff. Nah.
33, I’ll do the odd rave here and there but it’s 100 percent dependant on who I go with. Have one ex I’m still very close with and we always go to EDM shows, or silly shit like Monster Jam. But yeah Ill Irish goodbye a normal party by 11pm
