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:toothless
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. |
the fact about the degree was in relation to dead heads, yes you are correct on a number of matters, but generalisation only comes around from people stating the portrayal
dance music is just a sub genre for drugs... compare how may famous rock people have died through drug ude than to e.g. trance dj's or producers
its all down to the media, and the fact the media is run by a different generation to ourselves, simple as |

| the drugs don't have much to do with what type of music is being played. there are alot of drugs at any club, no matter what music is played. but the biggest clubs and events are electronica, so we get stereotyped. |

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

.....boooooooze!! It's a drug too, folks.
Check out these lyrics:
Mason jar's on the dresser filled with dollars and quarters
Been savin' 'em for our trip around the world
But now you've changed your tune
There'll be no honeymoon
So tonight I'm goin' there without you girl.
I'm going down to Mexico in a glass of Tequila
Goin' down to Puerto Rico in a bottle o' rum
Goin' out to Honolulu in a Maitai mug
Then I'm going back home to Georgia in a jug.
I rest my case. And,
Classical drug of choice: Opium
Jazz (bebop era): Heroin
and Louis Armstrong was one of the first big musicians to openly smoke marijuanna. |

There is a lot more injured , killed and harmed ppl in bars due to drunkeness and yet somehow that is more acceptable to our society than some ppl enjoying their music peacefully while on some mind altering substances. why is that ?

Nikki Sixx - heroin overdose

cobaine - cocaine led to his suicide
morrison - heroin overdose
joplin - heroin overdose

Because people using drugs usually listen to electronic music.
When many people do this, all over the globe, eg Techno and amphetamine is said to be a good mixture.
Not very strange. |

I believe with the advent of acid we discovered new way to think and it had to do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil? What is it about it that there is scares people so deeply? Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.
He's losing his mind, and feels it going!
You're intoduced to lsd, an' it's not like taking some other drug for instance like marijuana or something, hm, well, you know, it's altogether a new thing, and you actually can have a religious experience, and, hm, and it can be even more important than reading the bible six times or becoming a pope or something like that, you know... :D |
