Adrian’s Kickback: US party goes viral on TikTok and draws thousands of teens

Police reportedly arrested 149 alleged revelers after digital invitation for Adrian Lopez's 17th birthday party took off on app

It's the scenario every parent of a teenager dreads. Leaving their child at home with assurances that their small gathering" will not get out of hand, and returning to find footprints on the ceiling and the alcohol cabinet drained.

For the parents of 17-year-old Adrian Lopez, the outcome was far worse. After a viral invitation on TikTok, the California teen's Saturday party drew 2,500 revellers and quickly descended into a scene from Animal House, complete with illegal fireworks, mosh pit and multiple arrests.
