Teen Gothic

People are more than how goth they are. None of us goth and never not goth. We all have outside interests. Though some of those outside interests might be questionable.

I have one such interest. Many years ago I used to DJ at an event called Neko Nation. The gimmick was Catgirls/Catboys handing out sushi. I was a troll DJ who took the piss out of the crowd and played music based on internet culture and memes. But I DJed under the name DJ Jelly so people knew what to expect.

We are getting the band back together after 5-6 years since the last event. Except now I am DJ J3LLY (due to a DJ Jelly who plays hip hop in the states) and the new event is called…

…wait for it…

Egirl Nexus.

Yes, an event for egirls and eboys! I didn't name it, it wasn't my idea but here I am helping to organise and DJ at it. This time the gimmick is egirls/eboys handing out Doritos and Mountain Dew. It is almost a celebration of everything cringy about the internet. And I'm going to make 'em dance to my tune and laugh like a maniac while doing it!

Hell… I used to DJ for pastel and nu goths through various geeky events. And I sure wasn't playing goth music at the time…

I floated the idea of turning up as Elitist Joe, announcing "You egirls and eboys have been dodging goth music long enough!" and playing a set of goth music. Other event organisers think it is hilarious and we may try it at some point.

So… you mad? Me J3LLY.
