I mean, that's kinda part if it right? One last big night out with your friends before you all go your seperate ways. It's kinda like a group coming of age party, only capitalism got is talons into it.

I mean, important? Not especially, no. But will never see again? I'd argue that's true. The whole idea with prom is that it's meant to be like the last big school event before graduation. Yeah, at some point in their adult lives they'll get over dressed to dance badly, but this is the last time to do it and teenagers, with other teenagers.

Will they grow up wrong if they miss it, or if it isn't the biggest, most likely expensive prom ever? No, of course not.

But what does it actually hurt?

Feels like the tradition isn't just prom but also to make prom a big deal. And frankly, why not? Let the kids dress up and have fun. They will grow up, but it doesn't have to be tonight.

Also curious where you have a prom coming up in late June?

It's pointing to it anyway
