00:00
Sister. Have you ever seen these videos of parties now?
00:03
And you're like, damn,
00:04
that's a party. Honestly,
00:05
the whole party scene is fucked up like they aren't even have
00:09
parties nowadays. Yeah,
00:10
they fell off. Well,
00:11
people don't dance anymore like what's up with that?
00:14
and they just stand around drunk on their phones making tiktoks or
00:18
those guys that are like,
00:20
they ain't ready for us and they're just like in the bed
00:23
act like this just looking around.
00:27
It's like, what do you mean?
00:28
We ain't ready for you just standing around and see what you
00:31
want about millennials. But one thing we know is how to
00:34
throw a party like de Madre,
00:37
not a phone in sight unless you know,
00:39
just a little quick selfie with the homies because,
00:41
but that, but that's it.
00:42
You're in the moment.
00:44
But the good thing is here to help remind us of how
00:48
we used to get down is actress and comedian Jasmine Ruiz.
00:53
Thank you for having me.
00:55
Of course. So let's go straight to the chase.
00:58
What is wrong with Gen Z?
00:59
I want jazzy to eat me up.
01:01
So I would say what is different,
01:03
what is different with Gen Z?
01:06
I think that they connect in a different way.
01:08
Millennials. We grew up and we didn't have technology and then
01:13
at some point we got it those early years,
01:15
we were connecting with each other.
01:17
There was no connection over the internet.
01:20
I feel like them too because of social media.
01:22
And maybe Gen Z is a little worried about how they might
01:24
look. They're a lot more self conscious than we are.
01:28
We were confident, you know,
01:30
in our little Elf makeup or we makeup that was like $3
01:35
or from the Dollar store.
01:36
We were confident. We're like,
01:38
that girl, we look good and we didn't care,
01:41
stay facing on the dance floor and we were sweating bullets.
01:45
I think that's because we didn't grow up with social media like
01:49
that. This is so true and we actually did see that
01:52
video of you reminiscing about the old partying days.
01:58
ok. And then he needs support too because now you're throwing
02:00
it back. What do you think parties now are missing?
02:04
Like what do you think?
02:05
Like they're like, oh,
02:06
they're missing this key element that we used to have.
02:09
I think we're missing people living in the moment like we don't
02:13
It doesn't have to be on the phone like we could leave
02:15
the phone, you know,
02:17
on silent also. Music is different.
02:19
These days, you know,
02:20
put on some throwbacks,
02:21
put on some throwbacks,
02:22
bring it back, bring it back.
02:24
I gotta know why aren't people dancing like before?
02:27
Like what happened to the art of grinding,
02:30
Like where did we veer off course first people are scared.
02:34
I think men are scared.
02:35
Men are scared to approach women.
02:37
And I think this is like across all age categories.
02:40
Like I can't tell you how many times I've been out and
02:42
no one will talk to me,
02:43
but they'll stare at me from across the room.
02:45
You know what I mean?
02:46
I'm not gonna, that didn't exist.
02:48
People just walked up to you and you were a lot more
02:50
confident. They don't know how to let loose.
02:52
They're a little self conscious,
02:53
they care what people think about them versus when we were growing
02:56
up again. Social media wasn't that big and no one was
02:59
recording like that. So we didn't really have anything to think
03:02
about. We had a lot of music for the girls to
03:06
too, but I don't think we have as much grinding music
03:12
We love that. We got sometimes a little something cute,
03:15
but we need more music to really grind into.
03:18
This is true. It's a different era that mumble rap ain't
03:20
hit it anymore. You can't really rapping is not doing it
03:26
The aggressive rap, rap music isn't doing it all of that
03:28
is really fun to dance to by yourself.
03:31
But as far as like dancing with other people,
03:33
you know, you need to know something little sexy.
03:35
Let's build a checklist for gen ears that they can follow when
03:40
throwing a party. What are some essentials?
03:42
All right. So first we need a good no phone zone
03:47
no policy. People need to live in the moment.
03:50
Second, we need a really good playlist.
03:53
We need a good playlist.
03:55
I want to have some old school reggaeton up in there.
03:58
Of course, we need some new school,
03:59
throw some bad bunny in there and I think we need good
04:03
lighting, good lighting.
04:05
it got to be dark and you need to feel like a
04:08
roach. When the light comes on,
04:09
you need to feel like you got to scurry and I got
04:12
to go and I got to go late.
04:14
All right. So let's go back to the list.
04:15
Number one was no phones two fire play list three.
04:19
The lighting, the lighting and number four was that to go
04:23
late? The party just start getting popping at like 10.
04:27
And that's if you want to shut it down to,
04:30
you know, but that's what we need.
04:32
And then for the clubs,
04:33
the DJ s the DJ s they're the ones controlling the vibe
04:36
So we need to DJ to make that vibe sexy.
04:40
I had a lot of people comment like girl,
04:42
we still doing this over here.
04:45
it does live on and I'm happy,
04:46
I'm happy it's living on somewhere.
04:49
thank you so much for joining us.
04:51
Obviously, you put out a bunch of fun content.
04:53
Like we were discussing,
04:54
where can people find you?
04:55
You can find me on Instagram at the Jasmine Ruiz.
04:58
That's Jasmin er Uiz and I'm on tiktok at the Jazz Ruiz
05:05
Well, thank you so much for your time and it was
05:06

05:09
