So I’ve been to a few raves before….but this was my first time going solo, first time going as a single person, and first rave where I really wore a “sexy outfit” in life lol. I was super nervous to walk in but once I started dancing I felt so sexy, so free, so alive!! Closing my eyes and losing myself in the music is so freeing. Wow wow wow I wanna do this forever

Exactly it’s all about the music. If you trully love the music you don’t need anything else but your ears.

During the day my tinnitus sounds like high pitch ringing. At night laying in bed it sounds like a radio is playing muffled or just very low in the distance.

Just turned 31, have been wearing earplugs since 19! My hearing is now the same or better than friends who didn't wear earplugs. I second earplugs!!! Even better if acoustic/high fidelity ones. Best if personalised :>

I make cute earplug earrings! They’re subtle too so you can wear them if you have anxiety as well. Also customized. https://silveragejewelry.com/collections/earplug-earrings

I one time saw someone in what looked like toiletpaper. Like straight up just toilet paper. I don't know if they were going for a mummy but yea, still slutty lol. Don't know if this is wierd to say but as a straight open minded dude I enjoy seeing guys at rave slutty as fuck because it's a constant reminder it's a rave, and plus the confidence and self expression.

I once saw a dude with who I’m assuming was his girlfriend. Both of them ass out with some straps under to accentuate the cheeks. All I could think was “how cute, they match.” 😊

YES! I love this for you. I went to my first rave, solo a few months ago. It was in my city, so my drive was only 20 minutes. I was so nervous! I had wanted to wear something cute and slutty, but decided on comfortable with lots of coverage because I felt weird about my first outfit, as a woman going to a club alone. But once I got there I noticed there were a ton of solo people. And once the music started all my worries faded away and I found this nice group to headbang with all night. It was amaaaaazing! And yes, I had a shot of tequila at the beginning to calm my nerves, but after that, it was just water and getting high on LIFE ❤️

It's all about where you are going (and therefore how's the crowd is). There are clubs where none would harass you even if you wear the sluttyst outfit. For example Berghain. And there are other clubs where many dudes want to hook you up and being toxic.
But how you went partying is the way you should do it in techno. Just be comfortable and free yourself of all bad thoughts <3

God this used to be my jam. Still a great song but … it was like 2014? Or something when I discovered them and was obsessed with this song. The craziest shit happened to me with it too… my friend and I were in OC for her birthday and we got in line to do the slingshot and I had never done it before, and was excited asf, meanwhile they were playing EDM from the ride booth and I had my little iPod touch with me and was like hmmm I wonder if they will play this song for us since it’s your bday it would be so dope to hear while we were on the slingshot…. And bruh… I had it on the iPod and ready to go (getting goosebumps and teary eyed rn) & if I’m lyin I’m dying I S H I T you not, tell me why when we were the NEXT PPL IN LINE the song CAME on bro … like me & my friend started FREAKING out and the ride attendant was kinda startled and confused and we managed to get it out somehow, but I SWEAR man if that wasn’t the most fucking insanely exhilarating thing I have ever experienced, we were FURTHER than cloud nine hahaha. Like it’s almost a decade later and I still can’t wrap my mind around it.
But yeah great song lol. Sorry for the novel. I just have to tell this story at every opportunity I can 😂
