This is a couple organizing a party.
The girl thinks that she has the best ideas, her boyfriend thinks otherwise and says:
"Entre más corriente... más ambiente".
I understand it means something like, if it's simpler, it will be more fun, more lively.
Any suggestions in English?
Thanks!!

I think this is the way a young person might very well express her/himself (you used the word "girl").

: Propuesta muy larga, sin "punch" ni rima. Con todo respeto.

No, una rima no es necesario, según la persona que ha hecho la pregunta./¿Por qué casi siempre me demuestras una falta de respecto?/ Todo lo contrario. Lo que he ofrecido como la traducción tiene mucho "punch" en inglés americano, mi idioma natal.
