Elly and I casually approached the same old central station to wait for a friend travelling into the city at the usual waiting spot. Naturally of course, out of routine, we expected to see a sea of regulars, as not too many people in Eindhoven care to break the appearance a.k.a monoculture mould and venture into what some like to term: freak mode. However, this rainy Friday afternoon brought a whiff of difference to the city’s air.

As the two of us anxiously walked into the building, a sudden rush of  ‘arty’, ‘hipster’ or even ‘indie-like’ people – who ironically created a homogenous-like mould strong enough to distinguish them from the locals –  streamed out of different trains, paced in our direction,  marched straight pass us and then magically disappeared into the city, leaving a stench of wonder all over our clothes. 

 

The peculiarity of that grey day in the station went as far as witnessing an assorted bunch of people, squeezed into a 20 by 20 metre demarcated area, gyrating to the sound of, well, nothing really – until we realised they had white headphones shoved into their ears and were having a private silent disco, without inviting. Ah but alas, there is nothing more comforting than having a go at a group of people making asses out of themselves. I was envious. Elly was too. We wanted to be in the know and most importantly, we wanted in on the silent disco.
