I had been listening to Skrillex since middle school, but I had no idea that there were entire weekends dedicated to the kind of music I’d blast in my headphones during first period. I remember feeling like I’d discovered electricity when I found out about festivals. Something lit up inside me. “What!? They play music ALL weekend long? What else happens? What do people wear?
