How´s that society, people, and social groups tend to see electronic music directly related to drug use. why is that ?

its an easy excuse for the governement to tell the public. "If we can regulate dance music, we can regulate the drugs"

Well another reason is because at these "Electronic Music" events a lot of people are on drugs and all sorts of fucked up, and also I see people getting arrested for fighting, dealing drugs, etc. So that's probably one of the reasons why people realite them to eachother.

That's how it's been for a while - Around here anyway O_o

Media might be to blame (as always), If they bust some people at a party, it will naturally end up in the papers, thus creating a hughe movement of parents and religious groups all agreeing that electronic music is bad. I do not use drugs, but I do not think that is such a hughe problem neither!

cuz they're ignorant retards

newest form of popular music = newest scapegoat

its related because music has always catered to drug use. electronic music does do that especially well|

... u mean it's NOT TRUE??

it's not just electronic music... pretty much any popular music get's drugs attached to it somehow...

probably because alot of people listening to it are actually doing those drugs...it is stereotypical but it has its truths...

rappers smoke weed
ravers do E & K
dead heads smoke weed and do acid
etc... you know what I'm saying??

well when was the last time u saw someone doin drugs @ church???..if u go to any clubs/concerts, where there are loads of people the chances are that people are doin somethin...i dont know where the fighting thing came in. But the things that end up in the paper are the deaths on overdosing in clubs, and thats the only thing that the media see's so they relate drugs and clubbing.

...because it is. dont blame society for the way they percieve the scene, blame a lot of the dumbass people for ruining it and creating a stereotype.

just trying to make a point that this is what people see...
congratulations on your degree, not sure what this has to do with anything...

these are some sterotypes that people see and to some extent they are true...

all popular music is associated w/ drugs. It's just the way it is.. If you're getting people together to listen to music there is going to be drugs there... That hasn't change and it never will.. The two go together.

But the reason certain drugs go with certain music is the way that scene is potrayed...It's just what people are shown or see with their own eyes or hear in the music they are listening to.
When I think of disco, I think of coke and pills
When I think of hipies and the 60's, I think of weed, acid and shrooms
When I think of clubbing, I think of E and K and coke
When I think of the 80's I think of coke
When I think of hip hop, I think of weed and crack
When I think of country music, well I don't really think about it

People do drugs to enhace their good time. You go out to bars, clubs concerts to have a good time.. Therefore, drugs and music are associtated. There is no way around it. They will always be tied together.
