Dinner with Joneses, party at Smiths' place, etc. Simply because they didn't have no better entertainment and no better ways to communicate. Your kid's bday was a big event at which—holy shit—you got a chance to meet people. Real people, can you believe it?
Nowadays, social media and image boards have given us a communication overload. You have a literal slav from Russia typing this to you. You'd have not some fucking Joneses, but 100 people along with your third cousin's classmates' friends like your bday status on FB.
No need to invite a girl to your party to show her who she might like. No need to bring your whole class with their parents to show to your mom to get that perfect boiled goose recipe. Bdays used to be essential for social life, now they're getting less important. A normie privilege, basically.
