pandemonium [pan-duh-moh-nee-uhm]
wild uproar or unrestrained disorder; tumult or chaos; the abode of all the demons (hahaha!!!)
Synonyms include: anarchy, bedlam, commotion, ruckus


Maybe there’s a moment in everyone's life when they tell themselves that the partying has to stop. Maybe after college is over and done with, people feel the need to establish their careers or further their education, possibly get married, have children and/or own a home; basically leave behind the carefree juvenile life in exchange for a straight and narrow adult version. This version, it replaces lemon drop shots with glasses of fine wine; baggy pants and basketball jerseys with slacks and button-down shirts; cargo khakis and summertime tubetops with herringbone skirts and cashmere sweaters. Yes, those moments when you start hearing things like, “You’re too old for this” happen to everyone…

…except to me and my friends, it seems. Lucky lucky us! In a pool of medical professionals, engineers, artists, entertainment industry folk and 40-hour a week office dwellers, there swim our alter-egos who await their sporadic release. And when they’re released, it’s best just to let them roam about in spastastic mastery. It can be shocking and overwhelming at first, and if strangers don’t acclimate quickly enough, we will party all over you.

One sure-fire way to release these inner demons is to play a familiar song. Having spent our adolescence and pre-adulthood (the most influential era of our days) before the turn of the last century, partying 90’s style free our alter-egos so quickly and so severely that the result of hearing a song like, “Scenario” or “The Choice is Yours” can cause a ruckus of unbelievable proportion.

But it’s so fun to watch!!! Check this out:
