Writing music is complicated, not specifically from a music theory or other such standpoint, but as an artist and listener. Composition, chord progressions, melodies and everything can either have days spent on them or just a couple of minutes messing around on an instrument. Even "writing" music isn't always the same process. Either you could be working in a digital audio workstation like FL Studio, or just with a composition notebook and a cheap keyboard. Matching pitch is more of a learned thing, and takes time and a trained ear. If you aren't pitch trained yet, I wouldn't suggest going with lyrical composition as a first. Try making instrumentals, see what melodies work with what chords, practice matching bass lines to your progressions, etc.

EDM was a fairly easy genre umbrella to get into as a starting producer, but your skills can broaden and expand over time. But like anything else, you shouldn't compare your level to someone else as a means of seeing where you are. Listen to music and mentally construct how its arranged, find patterns or even play random notes on a piano. Sometimes, it just clicks.

Tl:dr don't spend too much time getting bookish about it be free and fuck around

I've gotten followup from admin, basically telling me to not post the videos anywhere (whether I'll follow through I won't say). I've considered two routes: Having police or city pay for damages and use the money to fund legal fees for other cases against police brutality, or go full direct action and shut things down. I've got ARP poisoning and wifi deauthentication devices, stink capsules/spray and potentially a group of people to walk out with.
