NEM-NEM RAVE 01

July 20th 2024, São Paulo

Project led by a now deceased friend. It started with her unfulfilled desire for “having fun” with friends in a way she didn’t see as possible before. Then something clicked: “I should make my own fun”, she told me late at night on Discord. A simple, openly contributed event. It was a failure in many senses, but it still has directly and indirectly spawned many derivatives across the whole country.

To this day people still talk about “Nem-Nem” and the various social experiments that followed the event. Since Saya’s final meltdown followed by her Discord-livestreamed ketamine-seppuku spectacle, the collective’s energy has been generally low, but a new generation of 15yo lolicons have been gloriously keeping the torch lit and the vision alive.

My set for Nem-Nem 01 is absolutely gone, primarily because it was pretty trash, so I didn’t really worry about losing the file eventually. Call it “lost media”, I guess… There wasn’t much worthwhile in there though. I used the moniker “Unit 08 Pilot Fanpage” back then as a reference to Mari Makinami from the Evangelion Rebuild movie franchise. The mix consisted mostly of vanilla anime OPs jersey.
