On the other, you use pseudo-scientific terms like "vibration" and "resonance," which have precisely no business being used in the context they were. You declare that trance has two vibrations--one sonic, one emotional. The sonic one is atoms rushing back and forth at so many cycles per second. The latter? Our souls frenentically bouncing at the same speed? And just how did you arrive at the ordering of soul-vibratng frequencies of different types of music? Is it a personal feeling? Not to rag on you, but it sounds terribly, terribly self-righteous. But yes, I know precisely what you're talking about. The most ironic part is that trance as we know it today is not the music with the "highest vibration" as you new-agers might call it. Instead, look to what might be called "new age" music. It's so full of love you'll reach enlightenment on the spot . But most present-day trance music is made to *dance* to. Go back to the roots of "trance"--to the shamen beating drums, to the monks chanting endlessly--to find your pure, higher-plane music. I don't believe that the vast majority of trance addicts listen to it because of some spiritual vibe, or that they are more holy than others. I DO believe that, because the music has a higher frequency and more potent sounds (deep basslines, the synths vs guitars), people are more energetic because of it. But you'll find just as much evil in the EDM world as anywhere else.

now that sounds much better!
got the nail straight on the head with that post

I can loosely understand what you're trying to say about trance, and it can give off very strong emotions, like happiness,sadness, and anger, but you shouldn't bash hip hop. It's far from the "lowest end"! Not all hip hop speaks of anger, materialism and self-importance. They're some rap songs that are nothing but positive, and promote peace and love. And just because you went to a hip hop show that was unfriendly (like there aren't sooo many friendly and unfriendly shows in music wherever you go..), you shouldn't just generalize your experience and leave it at that. Same thing for rock and other genres, you should never ever generalize anything, because you haven't seen or heard it all.

Also, don't think you've experienced the other genres and that you're making a fair, informed statement, because you're wrong.

Damn you should write a book.
