50 After-Party Conversation Starters That Aren't 'So... You Hungry?'

A version of this article was originally published on THUMP, in November, 2016, then we took it and made our own list. Enjoy.

The after party is the real reason to go out on a Friday night. Parties are fun and all, but it's those hours chilling, eating, or just talking, that are where real friendships are born. Can you remember the last time you went out and then went straight home after last call? Yeah. Me neither.

Most of the time it's just you and your squad. But sometimes you're hanging out with your second-degree friends, or some randos you just met earlier in the night. It doesn't really matter who they are because, really, you're all there because of one harsh truth: eating bubur alone and in silence sucks.

But maybe you're feeling a bit tongue tied? Maybe you can't think of anything better than basic ass questions. No one has ever been excited to answer, "so where do you work?" Save that shit for later on when you're making small talk with the ojek driver on the way home.
