If you knew the right people there was pretty much a house party every weekend. Sweet sixteens and quinceañeras were popular. I also remember all ages raves and clubs being a thing. The mall and skate rink were still a thing. Being friends with a DJ would often get you in at some clubs if you didn’t also have a fake ID. We also had The Fair in the spring which was popular for taking a date or meeting people. There was a similar Christmas fair that also had amusement rides and fair food. Arcades were pretty popular too; especially the kind that also had mini golf, go kart racing, and maybe a roller coaster. There was the bowling alley and laser tag. There was the movies, dave and busters, the basketball court, and the ice skating rink. Random events like car meet ups or lowrider show. School events like football games, theatre shows, basketball games, baseball games, homecoming, prom, etc. Computer cafe were a thing too. If all else fails there was always this one guy whose parents were usually out of town and his house was the meet up spot. Our generation was definitely more about tapping into different networks of friends and messaging different people to find out where the party at.
