The closest I get to understanding EDM/raver culture is an excellent shoegazey rock show. Hard to say what the songs are “about”, I just love the feeling of loud live distorted guitars. It’s like a really specific brand of ASMR, but more badass.

@cultured that’s exactly how I feel about all the post-hardcore “screamo” shows I used to go to. Like it’s obviously not particularly good music lol, but it just feels so good to have loud crunchy sounds in your ears.

(oh i've been to a Thursday show in my day. i think you grow out of the emo part, but less so the attraction to certain types of sound, for sure.)
