EDC is literally the Electric Gaysian Carnival with Aydin Quach, rave researcher

SO MANY gaysians were at Electric Daisy Carnival last week - but not your hosts! So Bao and Chris interview someone who did. Our guest Aydin Quach brings a fresh perspective as an EDC first-timer. But also as someone who’s dedicated his academic research to the growing gaysian subculture at raves. We cover EDC 2023’s highlights and low lights, totem poles, and rave baes. Then dig into Aydin’s research on raves and their place in queer Asian culture. Plus, we get real about circuit party behavior infiltrating raves.
