          Gabber maybe around the millennial hardcore era was probably the zaniest. It’s hard for me to go back to it and be like “I listened to this?”

          Industrial Strength was on repeat for a lot of my high school days tho. I was a poor so I only had like 3 cd mixes in my collection

            It really is zany. I never listened to a bunch of it on my own, but you’d better believe I never missed a Gabber set at a festival.

            I was lucky to be at music-pirating-age very young, what with Napster, then Kazaa, Limewire, Morpheus, BearShare, SLSK… so I was fortuitous to have many music.

            Off topic, but looking back on the sub this thread is in, I should probably find out what chapo is. I’m a c/all browser and I’ve only really heard about chapo on HBomberGuy’s nightmare DK trans charity stream, and Cumtown.

              Long story short but this instance is the users from chapotraphouse from reddit. That subreddit got nuked by the admins for being based. They are named after the podcast with the same name. It’s a leftist space and full of cool people.

              Also I was doing the pirate thing back then too but didn’t know any DJs to look up and didn’t really know any outside of Omar Santana, Delta-9, Rob Geee, and Neophyte back then.

                Damn, too many casualties.

                SPACEDICKS (rip I_RAPE_CATS), WPD, NSFL, Cumtown, Chapo, now eyeblech…

                  Both the main instances I hang out on on Lemmy came from subreddits that got shutdown actually. Lemmygrad is where GenZdong ended up.

                  I was hanging out in /r/lsc mostly when they got shut down so wasn’t really familiar with the lore but stumbled across Lemmygrad because people were bitching about “tankies” and figured I needed to make an account. Made one here after Hexbear federated and been mostly here since.

                    I don’t understand hexbear or Chapo, to be honest.

                    All I knows is, some of their values hold very dear to some of mine.

                    I don’t even know what “liberal” means anymore though, so I don’t understand the liberal hate? But I don’t politic very well, which means I probably don’t fit in there that well. I could learn, but I’m just too… tired.
