thought this song was dumb as fuck and only stupid old insane hag women that had kids in the late 70's could like this shit. thought this was just like dumb shit women liked to piss off their husbands. couldn't hear how good this is at all till i smoked pot as a teen:




always thought this song was cool as someone that was born in 1985 and was hearing it as a younger person that wanted to be mature. mostly heard this song on the radio in the car with my mom, and despite the fact that it brought me joy cause i liked things that were thought provoking and it just kind of sounds cool, the song i always felt was kind of blaring in my ear:


"mmbop" by hanson i always thought it'd best to play it off as i thought hanson were cool for playing their own instruments and being chill song writers, but it just kind of sounded like shit to me... this song can kind of still sound like shit at times even if i'm baked, but i've definitely had good listens for this song. it can be fun. it didn't really hit me at all till i heard it stoned:



barbie girl, wasn't sure if that shit was for people on drugs, and i'm pretty sure it is... also great video:






songs that i thought were really my style as a kid were like ace of base, gin blossoms, counting crows, soul asylum, wasn't a huge alice in chains fan but "rotten apple" hit me so hard when it came out when i was going into third grade. i liked serious shit. i never got guns and roses songs other than their ballads and still don't. i love their ballads though. i liked a lot of hard rock.... idk. some stuff just didn't hit me as a kid though... i don't know if stuff like gin blossoms, counting crows, and soul asylum are really THAT APPEALING STONED, but that is some of the most appealing music to me still. i can be in the right mood for them, but if i'm baked they tend to not be my hypnotic vibe. idk. i really vibed with that stuff super hard as a kid. ace of bass was just super good to me... i didn't really get mark mark and the funky bunch as a kid. i remember hearing snoop and dre come out around the same time, and that shit was just so much cooler and chill vibe to me. marky mark seemed corny to me. i really vibed with boy george super hard and what little cure they played on the radio really hit close to home. this stuff was just super therapeutic to me. i don't know about "What is love" by haddaway being really as peaceful as something like boy george that i'm listening to now even still, but i love "What is love" by haddaway at this point in my life..... boy george and gin blossoms, ace of bass really brought out some great hope or maybe just bizarre feeling related to inspiration in me as a kid. i don't think gin blossoms is really that listenable as i will talk about. like it's pretty tolerable and not very abrasive or anything. i don't know. i feel like i like it egotistically and it's not something that is universally acceptable. it just seems cool,, but i also think there's something about the notation. the rhythm, i don't know if will work for all people. . i personally can't really listen to classical music. when i was a kid, i remember giving it a chance on the radio, and it just seemed kind of off to me. i remember thinking a lot as a teen about how hip hop that sampled piano in repetitive ways was a lot more hypnotic than classical. that i didn't find classical music to be hypnotic to me as a kid. most classical bothers me still. that i was conscious even at a young age that i was reaching bizarre levels of feeling being hypnotized by music. i don't know if i knew how to verbalize what i was thinking, but i was aware of my experience.


that rod stewart song really blew my mind as a teen... cool as hell. totally was yelling in my ear as a child.......... IDK, i also have a thread titled something about the first korn album being special... i'm really trying to make my experience being a millennial something that can help the future, but would be interested if anybody has some songs that didn't click with them till they started using a specific drug.




if my posting about listenable music is confusing, i don't get how anybody wouldn't get that i think boy george would be more universally acceptable in a way that soothes people than classical music..... i don't think a song like haddaway "what is love" or rod stewart should be viewed as universally as therapeutic as boy george... IDK... pot or drugs doesn't really make stuff more tolerable always, BUT it definitely does... i'm really kind of confused by this. like there are definitely different moods a person can be in. sometimes i want to feel like i'm being pushed along and there is that... there is just a specific kind of music though....


hit me up with any thoughts. i don't really care... i'm mostly just kind of on a high horse saying i'm a super hypersensitive highly evolved individual, but it's like eminem saying "There's a little slim shady" in all of us.



to really make sense of this, i never want to hear the part in the outfield's "your love" that it goes back to in 2:05. really felt like they could've wrote the song around having a poppy part like that fucking up the amazing deep melody that the chorus has..... and on this same exact subject, "greedy fly" by bush is such a turn off at 1:25 into the song. i think that's the chorus. that song is going so hard until that point and then the chorus is just fucking bullshit. somebody else has to have that feeling about the chorus of that song. it doesn't flow at all.. it's still a great song.. idk. that part is just such shit though. it doesn't work at all. i never liked that shit stoned or before using drugs... lol.

 

[foodcrisis]

feel free to tell me you always felt the same way about "Greedy fly" by bush.... lol...

I didn't really hear the guitar parts until I was high on alcohol and DXM (I think). All I could hear was the guitar notes. It seemed so bizarre.

 

[kimmermanz]

my mind is tuned to listening to music only while high otherwise it makes me laugh, haha

On topic, I honestly don’t think my appreciation for any particular song changed after I started taking drugs… but as I started taking drugs at 15 whilst my music taste was still forming it’s hard to be sure.

I definitely get more from certain genres whilst on certain drugs, but there’s not much music I can only enjoy whilst on some drug or other.

More just mood enhancing rather than significantly changing for me.

i always liked "the death of john smith", "stickin' in my eye" "linoleum" and the more serious and melodic nofx songs... "whatever didi wants" always seemed kind of silly to me, but it's actually a pretty great song:




always thought "sabotage" by the beastie boys was some mentally insane crazy top of the world god send perfect shit, other than that, the beastie boys sucked to me. in middle school, for the stuff on the radio i thought "intergalactic" was kind of silly but alright (nothing compared to the serious ambient nature of wu tang) and their 80's stuff was fucking terrible. i kind of could hear "whatcha want" had something going on, but it's actually a fucking crazy good song to listen to. i couldn't really hear it as a kid before using weed. i think it might've made me introspective that i always thought blues was super cool early in life, but i never really emotionally invested in it in a way that made me feel relaxed and on a higher level:




got to also list "intergalactic".. amazing shit... i always thought this shit was kind of dumb as a kid. i thought the way beastie boys annunciated their words in "what cha want" was cool as hell like in the way i think the blues is cool just like a cool masculine chill dude, but "intergalactic" was like what i imagine a parent that doesn't want to listen to their kids watch cartoons for hours... pot made me like some stupid shit. like muppets sound good to me high.

i've thought this before, but something i think about how i notice music when stoned is that i talk about something like ace of base having a really ambient feel. that ambient and melodic is something i picked up on a lot before using drugs... i still like ambient and melodic stuff stoned, but there is a level that i can be at when i'm baked where just like the bass and vibrations of the song can hit a particular way and something that would just be kind of bizarre like "whatcha want" actually has something a lot deeper and bizarre that i can hear clearly where it just sounded kind of like noise i didn't relate to before pot. like "whatcha want" is not what i'd consider melodic in a way that would be traditionally therapeutic.

there is a lot of emo. like i've definitely listened to "four minute mile" by the get up kids stoned. before i started smoking weed the pitch of the octave chords really hit me and the whole production just washed over me in a way that was very therapeutic. I CAN DEFINITELY HEAR THAT ALBUM STONED, but it can be annoying and lack some type of drive like i spoke of specific korn songs massaging my brain while stoned and in drug withdrawl. that the flat nature of emo that i loved before trying drugs isn't always there. some of the get up kids songs have even hit me as annoying... BUT HELL i'm not always in the mood for korn.

it's not really what "i'm in the mood for". that there are times with music what i think "i'd love to think about how this artist is responding to the world," but i'm just not vibing with the texture of their music.

 

[foodcrisis]

that there is something about the pace of "What cha want" by the beastie boys that the songs i mentioned on Korn's first album have.

despite the fact that i really started to enjoy "intergalactic" stoned, it's not the same textured feel as "What cha want" and those korn songs i mentioned. "intergalactic" is what i'd consider flat in a way it will wash over a person. "intergalactic" and those specific korn songs will bang at you. they have texture as opposed to being flat.
