Wondering
Why is it that there is a general belief in Jordan a party won’t be enjoyable nor successful unless the music is loud to horrendously painful extents? What happens to the 50% of attendees who are not there to dance, but just to socialize?

Never attended a Jordanian party, but could have written exactly the same about German ones. Must be an international problem.

It just means that your a cafe person rather than a night club person.. thats all! No big deal. I prefer chatting then loosing my hearing for life!

Maybe because of trends? The party-thrower probably sees parties around them and notices that the ones with low-volume music and plenty of social circles and talking are not the ones he wants, and the ones with loud music are the ones with minimum chatter and maximum movement. Probably just following the norm.
I never have actual “parties” so I wouldn’t know. I just watch Family Guy and have some friends over for pizza, one of them cranks up music and one of them makes a beer run and people sorda just flock over and some hang outside to talk and some “party” inside with music/TV.
Somehow, the next day they talk about “the party last night” so i guess that’s what they call it.
