The party's changed but who cares? Confetti and champagne showers from the stage still make for an alright day.

PHOTOS: The Mad Decent Block Party still rules

The Mad Decent Block Party used to be just like an actual Philly block party, with a real neighborhood vibe, and cookouts and forties out the yang. The past few, however, have been decidedly different, morphing into a soulless ravehead-,dupstep-, ecstasy-soaked marathon.

A couple hours into this year's event, however, it became apparent that this year's bash would take a few hints from the good ol' days of yore: Dance-offs and booze were shared, cigarettes were bummed and lifelong (or 20-minute) friendships were formed. It was a good day.

Oh, yeah, Diplo even got in a giant hamster ball and rolled around in the crowd.
