Guaranteed if you went to a house party and everybody had to give up their cell phones at the door....it would be the most fun you've had in years.
SOUNDS like a good ass idea.
Social media has ruined parties.

Bruh you sound so fukking weird with this scientific ass bullshyt in bold. Y'all nikkas be talking like life is an RPG game or something. Sounding like if you go to a party it'll boost your social ranking by 10 points and you'll level up to the next social status. Who tf goes to a party for whatever bullshyt you're talking about instead of actually having fun? nikkas ain't thinking that hard about going to a partyThis isn't social media's fault at all, snapchat has just revealed something that's been happening before the existence of social media.
Pre social media, the only way someone who wasn't at a party knew you were there is because of all the post party conversations and depending on the party, being there would increase your social standing among your peer group, e.g. "yeah I saw Matt in the cut getting danced on", this is no different than the getting likes on an IG video, only difference now is that IG is proof that "Matt got danced on by some chick last night".
People in here talking about fun are doing so dishonestly in my opinion, they may even be oblivious to it. "Fun" is a side affect of parties, when you cut through all the bullshyt, the purpose of these parties is to increase ones social ranking or use your present social ranking to receive benefits which may include access to women, sex, and attention, which is another reason why many of these parties are very exclusive, if your social ranking isn't at a certain level, you're literally not wanted at the party, and if you do manage to get in, you're practically shunned by the people with higher social rankings.
Parties are politics under the guise of having fun. Social media is simply a tool that people can use to increase and even artificially inflate their social ranking with the goal of receiving benefits based on that ranking.
The only thing "no-cellphone" parties would do is increase the number of people making pre-party videos. People would literally be snapping seconds before they had to give up their phones and once they did hand them over, they'd spend a lot of the time regretting it because they can't see how many likes, views or DM'S they may have gotten during that period.

I witnessed this a couple weeks ago when I partied with new nikkas for the first time (young college crowd, internet/tumblr types and weirdos for the most part). Probably one of the woat party experiences I've had. First thing is damn near every dude there looked like an offshoot of either future, lil uzi vert, odell beckam jr, or travis scott. Dyed dreads/blonde curly tops with bandannas everywhere. Bunch of dudes all trying to look different to the point they look the same. And the females looked like a bunch of dirty lesbians, hippies and some no #nonaturals types 
Dj would put on a new song and immediately mfs would start pulling out their phone, grouping up with their friends and recording themselves jumping around going "Ayyy Ayyyy Ayyyy, it's lit!!!" for a good 45 seconds. Once you got a minute and some change into the song tho. Most of the room was standing around looking at everybody else like
.
The worst part is I don't think I saw not one person dance with someone of the opposite gender. Dead serious, these dudes dance with their dude friends and interact with chicks from time to time but I didn't see not one grind or wallie. The iphone clearly got the most action on the dance floor that night.
Music didn't help either. I don't care if it's whats popping right now, you not gonna have people open on the dancefloor with a bunch of internet trap hits. Most of the set was future, lil yachty, travis scott, designer. young thug shyt. I mean these nikkas played No Flockin
Kodak my nikka but wtf.
I mean it really wasn't that long ago when parties used to be people getting turned up in the center of the room and the lames on the wall staring out onto the party the whole time. Now everyone is that lame, except they'll snapchat themselves pretending to have fun every other song to stunt for social media "we gettin it poppin!!!". Mfs stand there like gargoyles until you put a camera in their face then they start sheepishly jigging like they been vibing the whole time
I actually peeped a shorty there dressed in normal club attire. Turns out she was like 28. I asked her what she thought of the party and she went "I don't even know whats going on man. "

shyt is trash...goes for concerts as well...some people will literally film the whole fukking show on their phone...look up for once 
i aint mad if you wanna tape some shyt for memories..thats cool....but people want to tape every damn moment and take a pic for everything...
it was the flip phone era when i was in high school so you only brought you phone out to film if it was supreme fukkery going on or if the party was so trash you said fukk it and played snake in the cut

It's very scientific, the only reason it's weird to you is because you can only articulate your experiences and the world around you on a very base level.

Don't insult my intelligence bytch ass nikka. NOBODY is fukking thinking about the shyt you were saying period. Social interaction is nowhere near that complicated. Imagine telling your nikkas "we gone go to this party to boost our social ranking, fukk having fun." Most people do social events to have a good time, that's it. I don't want to kick it with someone that places impressing other people over having fun, that's EXTREMELY lame

pretty much everything about modern club culture is ridiculous. you can offset that if you come with a girl, but still.
you gotta work 10x harder to bag these days and come in with zero expectations.
dancehall clubs are still lit tho. house parties can be dope too.

One thing the record everything generation helps me appreciate is that I did not have access to the tools of chaos and fukkery the teens and early 20 somethings do now.
There's a LOT of fukkery from my young wild years that I'm like
that there's no video evidence of to be honest. Future gens of kids, nieces, nephews will only hear about my fukkery not see it in 4K quality
It doesn't bother me seeing youngins do it because I refuse to become the "back in my day!" guy, I hope it doesn't completely kill the idea of living in the moment. .. for all the foolishness it's allowing some crazy creativity and an amazing outlet to use it that I do appreciate

No one tells their friends that, but that's exactly what is happening and has been happening, you're clearly completely oblivious to it but the evidence is overwhelming, it's literally the reason social media was created with "likes", it's the reason we use "daps/rep" here at the coli.
