     I started raving in early 2021. I was 24, chain-smoking through a quarter-life crisis, looking for parties during the pandemic because staying home felt worse than the virus. A friend dragged me to a basement rave in Brooklyn. Almost nobody was wearing a mask. That detail mattered to me then — not because of safety, but because it meant these people had already decided what kind of risk they were willing to take.

    +I started raving in early 2021. I was 24, chain-smoking through a quarter-life crisis, looking for parties during the pandemic because staying home felt worse than the virus.

    +I threw up on the dance floor.
    +
    +Not from drugs. Not from drinking. From chain-smoking cigarettes in a poorly ventilated room while dancing harder than my body was built for. I hit the ground and a group of strangers — ravers I’d never met — rushed over. They poured water over my head. Helped me to the chill room. Wiped vomit off my jacket. Offered to call me an Uber.
    +
    +I was back on the dance floor 30 minutes later.
    +
    +That’s the whole origin story. Not the music (I didn’t even know what techno was yet). Not the scene (I had no idea there was one). The people. Strangers who treated a vomiting idiot like he belonged. I’d spent years in professional environments where people wouldn’t hold a door open for you. These people held my hair back.
    +
    +After that night I started going out three times a week.
    +
    +* * *
    +
    +The progression was reggaeton to pop to rock to techno. A completely incoherent journey that only makes sense in hindsight. Before COVID I used to go to a spot every Friday — 80s/90s disco on the main floor, death metal and grunge in the basement. The basement was home. Always was. I just didn’t have the vocabulary for it yet.
