When you see the 90s represented in pop culture it's almost always things like Grunge, flannel, Kurt Cobain, Gangster Rap, 2Pac and Biggie, Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, etc. - all stuff tied to the early-mid 90s. Things like Nu Metal and Britney Spears that are more related to late 90s often gets lumped in with the 2000s.

I know the decadeology-related subs are more balanced but IRL it seems most of the iconic 90s stuff is from 1991-1996.

Let’s call the house party phase when people are between the ages of 14-22 (high school and college/the next 4 years).

So if Gen X are 1965-1980, that means the Gen X house party era is between 1979 (when those born in 1965 turned 14) and 2002 (when those born in 1980 turned 22).

And if Millennials are 1981-1996, that means the Millennial house party era is between 1995 (when those born in 1981 turned 14) and 2018 (when those born in 1996 turned 2022).

Over course there is an overlap, ie the “Xennial Overlap” (1995-2002), but overall which era would you said had better house parties and why?

Personally - I’d choose Gen X because the 80s and 90s were peak house party years, but Millennials still had it pretty good since they got some of the 90s and all of the 2000s, which was only a slight downgrade from the 80s and 90s.
