It was not about genre or aesthetic or being different. It was about all the deaths. + +Personal loss has a gravitational pull. It does not ask what genre you prefer. It drags you toward sounds that match the weight you are carrying. Dark music is not a style choice. It is processing. + +## The basement was home + +Before COVID, there was a place I went to every Friday. The main floor had 80s and 90s disco. The basement had death metal and grunge.
