I mean normal teen parties when I was a teenager were places for teens to get blackout drunk and make bad decisions. I empathize with your position somewhat, but it wasn't all good.

Not all parties were like that. Or at least I was never invited to those. We geeks stuck to LAN parties, got drunk, and played games. Since there were no girls around, we managed to avoid making any bad decisions :)
But we did party way more than kids today.
The majority of the bad decisions we made, was when there were no girls around. It's sheer luck that no one was seriously injured or arrested
Reminds me that some of the hardest partiers/most adventurous kids were not popular: theater kids!
Getting drunk and making bad decisions (within reason) is:
a) fun
b) how you learn
