Also disclaimer, I do think if you’re American the vibe there is very different,

I'm American, so that might be part of it. Maybe I should move to Europe.

I think you do think your taste is very special and unique and no one can understand you.

I don't think it's special or unique; I know plenty of people who listen to the same things I do, and I didn't mean to imply that hardstyle or metal or whatever are unique tastes; I'm a very introverted person and I don't enjoy conversation for the sake of conversation. If someone is genuinely interested in a topic I'm passionate about, I enjoy discussing it, but smalltalk is just tiring and "What kind of music do you listen to?" isn't a question with a simple answer, it's a question that leads into other questions. I can't just say "The Protomen" or whatever else without the followup question, "What type of music do they play?", and that leads to an awkward conversation that I don't enjoy having, with a stranger at least.

I was at the Act 2 release show, it was fuckin rad. They played both acts back to back.

Really hope they do that for Act 3. Also I hope they sell DVDs. Not that I don't enjoy the Queen covers, but I go to those shows to get hyped up pumping my fist in the air and chanting 'We Are The Dead!'.

I have given up hope that act 3 will ever actually be released. It's easier not to hope. 😂

You finally get it.

There is no Act III.

Mankind is doomed.

It has been a very long wait. The few singles they've released are bangers, though. I'm holding out hope.

I was at the Pax East show the year they debuted Hold Back the Night and holy cow, the hype in that room was off the charts. The Gambler has a great voice and you can really see the passion on her face when she sings.
