“I grew up a bit behind. Although I idolized contemporary house party movies like Can’t Hardly Wait and She’s All That (despite the fact I was in about fifth grade when both dropped), I also blended in plenty of classics from the era proceeding it, which was mostly stuff from before I was born. That included gems like Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982), Sixteen Candles (1984), and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986). Needless to say, this outfitted my young teen expectations for high school parties in a very bizarre, unreasonable way, especially since I spent those years in mid-’00s North Florida. This meant that most shindigs took place outdoors, surrounded by pick-up trucks blasting Lil Jon or country-pop-crossover hits. It was a dark time in music history, and North Florida was a very real place to experience it. Anyway, what I’m saying is, I did enough unintentional cinematic research to feel confident in judging ’80s teen culture authenticity. And this video evidence of an 1988 high school party that gets busted sure smacks as bonafide.
The grainy video quality is the first sign it’s probably legit. Plus, it’s named “B-Rock Party.” Come on, you can’t intentionally recreate this kind of ’80s magic. Roxette’s seductive number “She’s Got The Look” crackles over a home stereo as the camera pans through the room full of fluffy teenage coifs bending over joints they light with matches. It’s all hair spray and cool times until the parentals return home early and break up the whole celebration. Thankfully, the camera keeps rolling to collect audio of the host’s mother declaring, “You are in a lot of shit.” Oof. Party foul.”
