How to get into Berghain (my journey) and what it's really like inside

[@trash_pandaaaaa]

It's getting harder and harder to get in because of social media. Imagine trying to get in during the 90s man must've been wild

[@anotherneo231]

You are so charismatic, I would actually want you in my club

[@theloniuspoon]

thanks man ill be there!

[@ezelenov]

That is an amazing story. Have to try this

[@theloniuspoon]

Thanks man glad you liked the story !

[@jamiepadda]

Wow, this story shook me lol.

I have no idea why this is in my feed but now i'm here it's like... You're aware that it's a safe space for gay people where it's supposed to be free from judgement but you're desperately trying to get in anyway so you can apparently watch and then judge it online...

[@theloniuspoon]

I'm not judging anybody but they do allow straight people in too because it's an accepting place for all of us. I have many gay friends myself. I mostly wanted to get into the club because I'm a techno fan but I didn't fully expect the other parts so that was all new to me. Overall was a good experience though. No judgement to anybody inside, I was merely walking around the club observing what I saw. It's a safe judgement free zone even for people like myself.

[@anotherneo231]

I did not feel like he's judging, It more sounds like a kid who tells his friends about the lion he saw at the zoo.

[@theloniuspoon]

@@anotherneo231 yeah i wasn't judging anybody like i know it's a judgement free space. i'm mostly just talking about all the interesting stuff I saw in there. it's a historical site at this point in time it's just a legendary club experience with a lot of people partying and cool art installations.

[@sgrfpprmnt]

They should have not let you in Berghain. Customers don't need low intellect high judgement prying into their affairs.

[@theloniuspoon]

I really don't think I'm low intellect or high judgement. I was there to visit the shrine of techno just like everybody else and waited many years to do so. I appreciated all the details inside and was very grateful for the privilege.

[@wave641]

sounds really gay

[@theloniuspoon]

yes it is majority a gay club that also is accepting of straight people, but it's historically a gay club

[@johnnyguerrero3255]

This man was in hell lol

[@theloniuspoon]

No man it was one of the coolest clubs I’ve ever been in lol definitely not hell but pretty sinful

[@freddyjafar1490]

err unfortunately Berghain has gotten superrrrr straight and it has gotten pretentious. Berliner here. It is not like what it was

[@theloniuspoon]

really? the weekend i also went was pride so it was like 90% gay people, is it like 50/50 now?

[@freddyjafar1490]

@@theloniuspoon yes! also, like u wrote, that was pride week in pride month so the events are skewed more gay. Outside of that time period? Yup nothing but pretentious STRAIGHT hipster in fancy clothes waltzing around the dark interiors of Berghain like they are in their own personal music video. NOthing kinky happens, nothing sexy either. Zum Kotzen!

[@EddieValens]

You are the reason why they have a strict door policy. 😂😂 You didn’t even go on the right night. Berliners only go Sunday

[@theloniuspoon]

Well I think I deserve to be there like any other fan. I'm a legit fan and have invested myself pretty heavily in the techno scene my entire life. The bdsm scene not so much but I'm there for the music and the club. I started on friday cuz if I got rejected I was gonna try again saturday and sunday. I know Sunday is the locals day I did my research but I had to make use of my time cuz I don't live in berlin.

[@EddieValens]

@@theloniuspoon not time go on Sunday and not CSD weekend. You’ll probably enjoy it more then.

[@theloniuspoon]

@@EddieValens Oh I had a great time, honestly most epic club I think I've ever been to in my life that's why I came on here to talk to everybody about it. Berghain lives up to the hype it is truly as well produced of a club experience as it deserves to be
