Before the unprecedented pandemic outbreak, nightlife was central to the socio-cultural life of the society and a source of vivid memories for many people. For certain communities, nightlife has served as a place where they can liberate themselves in music. Due to the prolonged pandemic and its strict regulations, people are experiencing loneliness, symptoms of depression. Meanwhile, the nightlife has been completely on a pause for a year to the date, those who affiliate with the nightlife shared their opinions about mental health in the time of Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWith the pandemic, the nightlife in the Netherlands has been paused gradually. This gradual stepping down made it even more difficult to adapt. In my surroundings, people who were in the nightlife have been heavily suffering from mental health, especially loneliness and depression during a pandemic due to lack of space to look for each other. To them, it feels like there is no home to go back. I am also one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since summer, she has been working on a new project about nature. \u201cI was lucky to find what I would like to work on in this uncertain time.”<\/p>\n\n

Recently, he works on his set to play at the online radio station, where he can only interact with the audience virtually. \u201cI had opportunities to play at the clubs for the listening sessions during the pandemic. At first, I didn\u2019t realize how the pause of the nightlife brought an impact to me but slowly, I felt down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also shared his experience about the party that he organized before the pandemic. \u201cIt feels such a long time ago even though it only has been a year ago. It was so normal to have artists from abroad for the gig. Now, it\u2019s impossible to think about that option. I wonder when we can go back to the dancefloor and feel safe again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
