     My grandmother died a month before this happened. I had a pile of regrets I hadn’t dealt with. The kind that sit in your chest and make every small thing feel like a referendum on your entire life.

    +My grandmother died a month before this happened. I had a pile of regrets I hadn’t dealt with. The kind that sit in your chest and make every small thing feel like a referendum on your entire life.
    +
    +Then I got rejected at the Basement door in Brooklyn.
    +
    +Not for anything dramatic. Just the standard gatekeeping play — you don’t look right, you don’t know the right people, you’re not on the list. The usual power trip that passes for curation in the NYC underground scene.
    +
    +On a normal night I would have gone home. But I was carrying grief and anger and a bunch of accumulated frustration about a scene that claimed to be inclusive while running the most exclusive doors in the city. So I went home and wrote a shitpost.
    +
    +* * *
    +
    +The shitpost was about door politics in the underground scene. How the same people who preach community gatekeep harder than any velvet-rope club in Manhattan. How the “underground” is just another hierarchy with different aesthetics. It was honest. It was angry. And it was very, very public.
    +
    +That post opened me up to a cancel war I’m still technically in the middle of.
    +
    +The Bushwick crowd came for me. People I’d never met had opinions. The identity politics faction decided I was a trojan horse — not queer, not Colombian (like most of the hard techno scene), not a liberal. They treated me like I’d infiltrated something sacred by simply showing up and having a take.
