‘I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand’: Ridgeline plots with {ggridges}

I really like ridgeline plots but only recently I have learned how to do them myself. Of course, the most famous ridgeline plot ever is the one you find on the cover of Joy Division’s album “Unknown Pleasures”. I wonder how many ridgeline plots done with the {ggridges} package try to replicate the look of this famous (and great!) album. And – of course – I will try, too.
