Being Brazilian, all those 'murican house parties portrayed in movies always seemed so... Dumb and uninteresting. I did go to a similar one during college (2009-ish) and, frankly, the only good thing was that I almost got laid, everything else was meh.
We do have teenage house parties in Brazil too, you know. They're not exactly like American parties, but a lot of the same traits are there, like teenagers being anxious but trying to pretend they're not, trying alcohol, having loud music to distract from awkward silences.
Our parties just tend to be a bit more activity focused and people tend to all do the same thing at once, rather than dividing into little cells - maybe everybody eats some churrasco, maybe we play a game, etc.
