It wouldn't be as popular for one thing, and everyone would probably be drunk, coz it's human nature to do some form of substance abuse.
PvD playing to 40 000 drunk w4nk3rs....? I'm very glad thatdrugs are around |
Why does electronic dance music need drugs to be 'popular'? You shouldn't need drugs to enjoy the music, ok so I can see they might make the experience 'better' for some ppl, but you don't need them. If ppl rly like the genre they would still listen 2 it without drugs. Besides electronic dance music isn't exactly THE most popular genre in the world and how does popularity effect the music? OK so prehaps there would be less events/clubs but if it means less drug takers then thats good IMO. Finally what makes PvD playing to 40 000 drugged up 'w4nk3rs' any better?

Hey kurai - In response to your statement "people who need drugs in order to listen to this kind of music suck"... fuck off. Why do we suck? Because we don't have the same beliefs as you? So your opinion is the only right one, huh? Oh, I see. I by no means NEED drugs to enjoy trance at all. I listen to it every single day of the week, before work, after work, at home, on the weekends, all the time. But when I go out on Saturday night to have fun after a hard week, I like to take some beans and feel good and enjoy the music and the club that much more. So we suck because of that? When I didn't do drugs, I surely did not bash people that did. And now that I do, I do not bash people that don't take them. If someone is pushing drugs on you, then you have a right to get angry with them. But don't fucking criticize the rest of us if we're not bothering you. |
Well if he said ppl who NEED DRUGS inorder to LISTEN to this kind of music suck then it DOESN'T apply to you does it? You say you do not need drugs to enjoy the music yet you say 'Why do we suck' when you are not one of 'we'. Anyway Kurai is right; if you NEED drugs to LISTEN to electronic dance music u do suck.

Good point, but I think PvD is anti-drugs ne way...

As for PVD, there's nothing wrong about him advertising an anti drug campaign... Basicly, I don't see no reason whatsoever why should of he refused to do so... Like I already said, people are free: it's not for PVD or whoever to dictate what's best for you.. Simply assume the responsabilities, and be happy |
well said.

as long as they dont harm anyone else..then its ok.
if they are harming themselves from the drugs, then hey, thats THEIR own problem....and im sure drug users know that too.... |
I'm ok with ppl taking drugs if they don't harm ne 1 else, don't pressurise ppl and don't act like its really cool 2 take drugs. However I think we should all get some collectivism going on here where every1s actions effect each other

Alcohol...the legal people killer. |
Referring to other larger killers does not make taking ecstacy ok. However it can be used to so how relatively little the danger is of taking ecstacy.

Some people aren't stupid enough to mess with illegal drugs, while at the same time smoking three packs of cigs a day. I personally dont do drugs, although I do take offense when some losers say you need to take drugs to create good music... Yeah, and I'll be the judge if it's good music thank you very much.
I guess I'm a control freak, drugs & absolute control dont mix. |
Well said!!

DuMonde TrAnCeR it's nice to hear a informed opinion. You have done your own research and i applaud u for it. |
Unfortunately his research + opinion seems to be all biased; I have yet to hear any arguments AGAINST ecstacy from him and fail to believe that there is NOTHING bad to be said about ecstacy.
