I don't think trance makes you smarter. It could give you a headache, that's for sure. I've [ahahaha, I just remembered that quote from Homer, who goes to the doctor and is said that he's gonna die or something. And says something like"More killing power eh?" ]heard that getting dumber by listening to Techno thing too. I don't know about plants, but my 21month old bro goes into some nice headbanging and dancing whenever I put electronic on
<<<<<---Proud big bro

I think trance can help stimulate the mind, and even let it grow. Classical music is supposed to help raise the IQ of person, but why? Well i think its because classical music has to do with layers, because its so subtle. You have to really listen to notice some of the fine points some times. Trance can be very similar. They both have similar qualities. And we all know trance is all about layers. Trance also incorporates classical music.
I think my mind has changed since i started listening to trance. And no its not because of the drugs. Damn drug conspiracy theories out there.

honestly, I find myself being much more creative listening to trance. Once in a while, I'll daze off into some lala land.....especially when I'm driving, but most of the time, my mind races with all these ideas.


btw: do you guys party? and if so, do you go for the music, the drugs, or the atmosphere?

for me: its the music, people, then drugs. I have more fun sober at most of these parties.

hmmmmm, what type of plant are you growing


if its true that mozart's music can raise IQ, other music can do it too, however strange it may be

as for clubs, i like the music, the atmosphere can add to it

trance messes with my mid, I luv it and all, but if I listen to it while im trying to get somethin done, I'm not able to pay attention or anything. But for some odd reason DnB helps me concentrate better, i dunno, maybe im just weird

lol, this thread is funny. Trance doesn't make you smarter. The only reason you find yourself more creative is because YOUR mind works better with something in the background. Whenever I listen to trance/prog, I can't do any work. Even talking on the phone becomes tedious because my mind is focusing on the music. This has nothing to do with intellect. Like right now, I"m listening to Sasha's Voyage of Ima, I could go study for my parapsychology final, but I'd rather this finish and then go because my brain won't take any info when there's music which I love playing.

measuring something as subjective as IQ and saying that listening to music makes you smarter is a load of bullocks IMO. IQ is not a measure of intelligence, its merely an 'indicator' and by such its not perfect or concrete and their can be variances in it (language barriers and such have been proven to hide peoples true intelligence, as well as people not from 'prototypical' white culture families, strange as it may (or may not) be). If you want to believe music makes you smarter go right ahead I'll keep listening cuz I can't get enough of the shit.

Look on the brightside, by itself its not making you any more stupid either.

true, i agree with you to a certain degree, however I believe that the mind is a helluva lot more capable than what we use it for. I believe if everyone had the same education and learning experiences as the others, the IQ test will still show up with different results. And I don't think its matter of brain power or one being smarter than the other, but a mere difference in focus.

Thats why I think trance makes you smarter, it allows the brain to explore memories stored in the brain that would not normally be touched. Reason and logic is then applied to the memories to create new thoughts.
