House parties aren't what they used to be.
In the old days, parents left kids up to their own devices, and trusted them not to burn the house down while they were away. Friend groups rode around on bikes, and teenagers gathered in the rich kid's basement for a night of old fashioned tomfoolery.
In honor of the golden age of house parties, here are 30 nostalgic pics of basement blasts for all ages, from the 70s and 80s.
