A severe case of OMFG.

OMFG. They're having a party in the flat right next to this one (yes, the one right next to this one, and on the side of my bedroom), and they're really loud and stuff, and they're yelling and shouting and chanting along in unison (to their music?). And it's getting rowdier by the minute. I farking hope that they'll stop being so loud soon, else I'll never be able to sleep (my head is towards the wall that is between us, so the sound comes through).
You see, there's one thing I never understood about modern Western (American?) culture.
Partying.
Why is it "fun" to get together with a bunch of people, get drunk, and move wildly about to loud music that isn't even, uh, really music (in terms of being a function of physical human talent in producing said music, that is, stuff that's so synthesized that there's no um, human musical talent in it)?
Why is it "fun" to move about randomly to rhythmic music? Is it because we've become too lazy to actually interpret music for ourselves and express it accordingly in a personally significant manner? (For example, when a slow song comes on at a dance, couples just put their heads on each other's shoulders and sway to and fro.)
Why is it "fun" to prevent everyone else from getting a good nights' sleep for the sake of your own rowdiness?
Why do they need to celebrate their first weekend at university? Are they even first-years?
Why do they need to lose their bass hearing (or their hearing altogether) at the expense of our bass hearing?
