Hey, this is Fenton, one of the members of *Defunct*, and this is why we started our event—and why these words matter.
In 2018, I hit one of the lowest points in my life. Steve, Erik, and I started *Defunct* to bring our friends together to dance and feel alive again. We made incredible memories, but like all things, it slowly faded, leaving it, well, *defunct*.
By 2023, my mental health hit another rough patch. But through running, hard work, and most importantly music and giving back, I found my way again.
Talking about struggles is important, but finding tangible solutions—that’s the real challenge. And living by those solutions? That’s the hardest part of all.
Music and dancing—that’s what brings us together. It’s what keeps me going. It’s what keeps our culture alive, even when life feels tough.
This is our final post as *Defunct Discs*, but as one chapter ends, many new ones are beginning. Keep an eye on what’s next. I’m sure you’ll want to be part of it.
