I was wondering the same thing. I just came across a documentary on youtube 'Club Kids in the 80's', and saw that Michael Alig and Freeze murdered Angel Melendez in 1996. What a trip- Nelson, Freeze, and and Michael all knew each other and partied together. Kind of sad though that many Club Kids fell into drug addictions over time and drugs/drug debt was the cause of that murder.

I was one of the only straight girls in the clubs or at parties. Lol. I never once felt out of place or like I didn't belong. I can relate to so many of these videos. We went to circuit parties all over the country, the Roxy, and had just plain fun wherever we went. Such a great time in my life! ❤️

When I go to cemetaries I always wonder what kind of life did that person have? Who did they meet? Etc. Nelsons grave just looks like the old graves you see that nobody pays attention to anymore since they've been gone so long. Then you get on YT and there he is like it was just the other day. Kind of like staring into a time machine lol.
