Drugs and music
Hey all, I was thinking about drugs and music, and how drugs have influenced my taste and the reasons behind it.
So I'll start by mentioning my past taste, when I was first really getting into music (13/14 years old) I was always into punk and metal.
I really never though my taste would change, until I get into the drug scene.
There is no doubt that different drugs stimulate different tastes.
Alcohol I've always found I can listen to any music provided it's not too soft. Alcohol is great for songs coming on that people can get in a circle together and sing/yell lyrics and love it.
Marijuana, the softer music always preveils, or unusual music.
Mushies (and I assume other psychadelics) I've always found it needs to be something both mellow and predictable. Metal becomes awful unless you know all the lyrics. Trance and Dance goes up and down. Bits you love and bits leave me feeling uneasy. But for the most part you want some quiet background music that doesn't overwrite talking. You want it more as a background with the occasional bit that you can get into for a minute and then go back to tripping.
Methamphetamines to me is an amplifer across the board. Any music I enjoy sober on whip sounds and feels so much better.
Ecstasy there is no doubt that it makes anything electric or trancey becomes a new level of amazing. You feel the coming up, and you can't wait for the big parts to outbreak to be amongst everyone else feeling the same and truly LOVING the music.
But even more so, ecstasy has influenced the music I enjoy sober. 5 years ago I never thought I would love trance/dubstep and general dance music as much as I do now. It Could be simply me changing taste, but I have no doubt that ecstasy is responsible for this. I've never been to a metal concert on MDMA but I don't know how it would feel, I think I'd enjoy it, but I'd be wishing it was more electric the whole time.
For opiates and other drugs I've never tried I'm curious to see how it has influenced music on each of you and if you agree with how I feel about other drugs and music.
Pretty drunk right now... so I'll update in the next few days with a bit more info haha, but for the mean time I just wanna see what everyone else has to say =)
Peace
