Interestingly this was extremely common when I was growing up in the 90s in Houston and early 2000s in college in Colorado. Big parties almost always wound up turning into brawls, and you could expect to see brawls when the clubs dumped out from 2-3am. My friends and I used to post up sober to watch when the infrantrymen from Ft Carson home from Afg/Iraq went out. Whoo boy. Freaknik and Kappa weekend in the 90s were always totally insane. MTV did a video in 98: https://youtu.be/NCZoBhi3rgY

Pretty sure takeovers (or 'trends' as the teens apparently call them here in Chicago) predate the pandemic, though maybe they got worse since.
