fun with friends! ^_^

Such a smile to let loose and be whimsical.

Do you go to raves?

Do you listen to electronic music?

If you haven't gone to any raves, why not?

Do you want to?

No.

Electronic as a category is actually quite wide, and I dislike
(to the point of disdain) quite a lot of it; but I do make few exceptions
in piece-by-piece basis, usually around chiptune, synthpop/electropop,
and to less extent, disco. [1]

And even among these exceptions, I can only enjoy them on my own speakers
or earbuds, which kill off the most of their obnoxious edges
(on both bass and treble) and make them bearable for me.
The volume level I normally listen music is also quite low:
low enough that things like mopeds speeding pass the outside of my residence could aurally "run over" it.

So I don't tolerate these music on other people's amps;
much less in any kind of "concert".

If you haven't gone to any raves, why not?

Most kind of concerts (*especially* electronics) destroy my hearing,
and make my titunus worse. I came to know these the hard way,
because while I don't go to (and actively avoid going near) such venue,
these "concert" sometimes came to be held near my residence.

And now my ears ring all the time when I sit in a library.

The noise limits in my city are there (it is actually a crime to exceed it), but woefully unenforced. I wish anyone who forced me to endure such music against my will, rot in jail and burn in hell for eternity.

Do you want to?

No; see my answer to the last question.

Did you used to go to raves?

Never did, and never will.

If you do listen to edm, what types?

None. EDM specifically is actually the one of music genres I hate the most; exceptions of specific songs I could endure in there are very few
and far between.

Indeed. I like the AY music for the ZX Spectrum, e.g.:

<https://zxart.ee/music>

When I had a smartphone, I had
this for a call: <https://zxart.ee/tune/55043>
and this for an SMS: <https://zxart.ee/tune/55258>

I used some Windows-98 software to convert it
to MP3 with the hightest possible quality. My
current mobile phone does not support custom
ringtones.

I also cherish fond memories of /Star Heritage/,
including its soundtrack:

In fact, I have contributed to a translation
of this games's demo into English:

I haven't, though I'd quite like to! Everything I know about the scene
suggests it'd be something I'd quite enjoy. The atmosphere, the open expressions of love and kindness, just... all of it.

Do you listen to electronic music?

Yup! It's a big part of my taste. Currently listening to some old Above
& Beyond / OceanLab albums, in fact :)

If you haven't gone to any raves, why not?

Don't know of any near me! I'm hoping to change that sometime this year
or next.

If you do listen to edm, what types?

I'm not quite familiar enough with EDM per se to be able to name
specific types I like. I can say that my taste generally skews toward
what used to be called prog trance in the late 90s / early 2000s and
things made in that panoply of styles, but I like so many things :)
Chances are if you suggest something I'll enjoy it or be able to tell
you why not.
