| My feelings are that music that you love can make you feel "high" as if you were on drugs, however if you are on drugs it makes that feeling even better. |

I agree with the first post, personally. I've never taken a single pill, but I abhor platitudes like "high on life" and "music is the drug" and "music makes me high" and all that garbage. For that, I am content to say, "NO, I don't do any drugs."
Seems like the people who say these things are insecure and have something to prove (like MisterOpus said, that they are "above" their twisted environment). Also seems like I hear this more often from people who have done drugs, rather than people who haven't. Yes, music makes me feel great. Yes, it makes me wanna dance. No, it does not make me high. No, it does not bear any resemblance to a drug. |

I'm curious as to whether or not any research has been done on psychosomatic responses to music. For example, if you habitually used drugs while listening to electronic dance music, could the music itself evoke the a similar neurological response? It doesn't seem out of the question.
Generally, though, I'd have to agree that statements such as "music is the drug" are rather tired. If you mean to say that you enjoy the music enough that you don't need or don't want drugs, then just say it that way. |

i have to agree here, it does my head when people say that.
but most of them assume people take drugs to nhance the music and that also annoys me coz its bull.
the music is good whatever the , the drugs are mainly to make you feel more chilled, make it not an effort to keep dancing all night and to make you generally all around better on top of the feeling you get listening to the music.
so basically, stop thinking people take drugs to enhance the music and stop thinking your some ubertrancehead coz "music is your drug" :p |

I think it's more about memories of feeling a certain way in the past, and reliving those memories. To all those people who stay up till 6am partying sober, how do you do it? And why do you force yourself so much? I think some people are trying to prove something by saying that music is all they need. |

Quite a leap to assume that people who party sober 'til 6 AM are the same people who say that "music is all I need" and have something to prove, don't you think?
Maybe we just stay 'til 6 AM because we're there with 15 of our friends, having an awesome time listening to tunes and dancing? That doesn't mean that we equate it to drugs for any reason. I can stay up 'til 6 AM studying for an exam, too. (Incidentally, I usually leave at around 3-5 these days, but I stayed 'til 6 at Armin).
I can see how, if someone used to get high at clubs all the time, and then later on hears tunes that they remember from those times, it might make them feel good... just in the sense of triggering good memories... but I think it's bollocks to actually compare that to BEING the drug. |

Personally I have no problem staying up until whenever. I'm just a little bit weird that way, I can stay up for 30, even 35 hours straight without getting tired. Getting up on the other hand is something I'm incredibly bad at.
That said, I usually have a fair amount to drink when I go out. I stay away from other drugs, though, because they tend to have extremely unusual effects on me, even medicinal drugs. I've got a few amusing stories out of that. |

Using the phrase "music is my drug" seems a bit rash, because although certain tracks can put me in a type of euphoric state, its nothing compared to the mixture of emotions and actions when taking some type of drug. :rolleyes:
But I wouldn't go to assume that someone cannot get some type of transfixed feelings from listening to music, which can lead them to assume that its some type of "high"... but I highly doubt that they mean it in a sense of actual high.
Possibly when someone is claiming that music is their high, they might just be commenting on how a person can become addicted to the good feelings that come in association with drugs, hence creating the "high" they speak of. Pure, innocent, good feelings, and a euphoric state. :stongue: |
