Growing up next to Berlin, me and my friends discovered the city's techno nightlife in the summer holidays after 10th grade. Nothing was the same after haha. We danced in my parents basement to Emmanuel Top's 90s anthems "Acid Phase" and "Turkish Bazar" thinking we were proper ravers :D Don't really listen to this style of dance music anymore but it takes me right back to 2016

indeed is very euro and reminds me of the clubs pre-2017, im all for a good rave but it is a lot sensory-wise💁♂️ requires a time and place

First time you hop into a Berlin photoautomat, you’ve got no clue what it’s gonna sound like or how fast the flashes are gonna hit.
It’s got this little rush to it, kinda feels like a leftover from a techno night.

my dad had a friend who kept up with music and wasn’t stuck in the 70s/80s like my dad is and he was showing Technologic by Daft Punk to my dad in our living room and I remember little 6 year old me going absolutely feral to it. i’d never heard anything like it before and I just kept asking them to play it again so I could “break dance” (flail around wildly) to it. that’s the first time I remember being captivated by a song like that
years later my brother showed me Kill Everybody by Skrillex and I remember asking him if it was Daft Punk because that’s the only thing I could think of that sounded remotely similar. ended up getting super into skrillex and between ages 11-13 I pretty much exclusively listened to skrillex, and mostly rips from youtube of old/unreleased stuff. skrillex got me into a bunch of other artists through his label OWSLA that’s defunct now but had a sick lineup between 2012-2016 that was super foundational to my music tastes.

🎧for me it’s edm. Martin Garrix, armin van buuren, tiesto, avicii, afrojack, all of it. takes me right back to middle and high school, house parties, blasting music in cars, everyone just obsessed. it was such a crazy time for edm. then somewhere around college it just faded. even my whole friends circle moved on from it.I still go back to it sometimes though, and when i do, it’s like a full-body flashback

I went to the botanical garden in Porto and there was barely anyone except for a few university students reading in the shade. The place had a mystical aura, which I captured best with this photo, I think

🎓I did a 180° academic turnaround when I decided to pick up anthropology (major) and art history (minor) although I'd already finished a bachelor's degree in marketing. I never enjoyed business studies and never gave it my best while at the same time feeling under pressure from my parents because they told me to do it. I got my degree but shortly after felt so empty.
So after some thinking I did what my gut feeling told me and that was to go back to uni and finally study what I truly like to learn about – culture and society (in the broadest sense). It's been the most emancipatory decision I've made in my life and now I finally feel like I'm on my own path instead of someone else's. On top of that, I feel really comfortable around the people I study with and they're all really sweet and inspiring. We read tons and learn to deconstruct, reflect and argue, that way acquiring skills and knowledge for all matters of life. And finally I really care about my studies and do well. I'm really proud of that.
Full disclosure: While I live in Germany and studying is basically free here I know for most Americans on here it would be much harder financially to extend their studies like I did. Still, if anybody reads this who feels drawn to a social or cultural science and feels unhappy with the more conventional path they took because of external pressure – I hope this encourages you to go where you need to go <3 happy to hear from other people's similar experiences
