I had hooked up with her and then ended things abruptly. The timeline is not complicated. The guilt is. + +There is some guilt that I will probably never get over. That is a factual statement, not a therapeutic confession. The dark music project — all of it — traces back to this moment in ways that I did not fully understand until years later. + +## The connection + +I started my music journey right after a friend died of an overdose. Part of dark culture is making light of the morbid. That is not nihilism. It is the only honest response when the alternative is pretending everything is fine while people around you are dying. + +I think she would have been alive if she had not been so deep in the punk scene. The rave scene is generally a bit more wholesome. That is not a universal truth — it is my truth, earned through a specific loss. The belief that rave culture has redemptive potential over punk culture is rooted in this death. Not abstract philosophy. Lived consequence. + +The logic runs like this: maybe by growing the dark music scene with my own values, I will be able to make a difference in someone’s life by letting them meet more wholesome influences. That is the founding thesis of SLIST stated in the rawest possible terms. Not a business model. A partial redemption arc for one dead friend. + +## The naming + +The Relapse party concept is autobiographical. It is not edgy branding chosen from a brainstorm list. It references something specific that happened to a specific person. I have been talking about relapsing myself as someone who struggles with various addictions. The name carries the weight of the thing it references. +Diff truncated (44 lines total). View full commit on GitHub →
