No actually, this is not the norm. I have lived in DC for 25 years and have never experienced this.

Always nice to hear from an old white person who resents the diversification of the city. Sorry, but BIPOC people are allowed to have fun. Perhaps you should insulate your house better and then you would not hear it

Lol did you look at the photos? Very white crowd

BIPOC people can be white passing. Please stop your racism

Please stop your victim seeking validation. The fest was super white. It was also really cheesy, mainstream dance music and not the good Detroit style house music, or someone like Lee Burridge, but that’s okay. The point is it was way too loud. I know because I live next to it. Don’t tell me to fking move to the suburbs. I’ve been here longer than you.

Hi, I just want to say a big f u to posters with your attitude about “living in the city” and how all complainers should just move or realize they assume the risk and annoyances of city living and should just shut up about raves or anything other noise related matter.

I see it on the New Hill East fb group comments and it’s idiotic to no end. I’m from dc. Not the suburbs. I’m from SE. I’m going to fking complain about this festival and you’re not going to stop me. And you’re not going to call me a gentrifier or whatever and say I’m not allowed to complain.

Living in the city doesn’t mean people have to live with the type of blasting sound that came from Glow fest. It was also a weather related audio thing that carried the sound much further. You people have no idea how loud it was.

I can’t believe there are so many apologists for things like crime and crazy noise in DC that I’ve seen online. It’s like they’re trying to be hip by denigrating other people and saying “hey man just go to Bethesda, get out of here if you can’t handle it.”

Dude I used to go to raves and all that sht in deep NE, club red, national, Buzz all that shit growing up, those were enclosed and weren’t this type of decibel. So suck it. I’m complaining as an adult with kids and as just a normal human being and anyone else who was annoyed isn’t going to be cowed into feeling bad by some dorks.

I’m in Kensington and we could hear it Saturday night.

That’s pretty amazing.

Pretty sure the EDM scene is predominantly white, and the festival is largely impacting Black neighborhoods. Nice try!

You should educate yourself before offering your opinion. House music was created by black people in Detroit and the dance music scene has always been a part of black and queer identity for decades.

I am educated, and I'm not talking about dance music. My goodness calm down.

What do you think the “DM” part of “EDM” stands for? You were clearly talking about dance music. The modern “EDM” scene grew directly out of the Black culture of House and Techno music and is one of the most diverse types of music around.

Sure, Jan.

Damn... "one Brookland mother wrote on the neighborhood’s email listserv that she measured the volume at 71 decibels in her baby’s bedroom at 10:27 p.m."

Anecdotally, I've got friends right by RFK who reported very minimal noise but people much further away heard it, presumably the temperature inversion is why.

I can tell when there's an inversion because I can hear the trains better. I'm sure it amplified the concert some but I think it would still have been audible without it where I was 3+ miles away. It was that loud.

1) boomers =/= gen x
2) "y'all" is only used by rubes
3) if you think this is "culture" we have definitely failed as a society

This is the price one must pay to live in a vibrant community

A round the clock EDM rave, put on for profit at the parking lot of a decrepit stadium, with people pissing in residential alleys, does not translate to vibrant community.

It was literally vibrating the community

😆

This. It was a very unusual weather phenomenon - just a weird mix of this rave happening at the exact same time as the weather thing. Kinda cool in some ways (unless it really bothered you). But under most circumstances, no one 3 or 4 or 5 miles away would have had any idea this was happening at RFK.
