Electronic dance music

Electronic dance music, or EDM for short, has been a popular choice in music these past couple of years. Although I have heard it multiple times before, whether it’s on the radio or at a house party in Isla Vista, I am not too fond of this music genre. On the other hand, I have a lot of friends who enjoys listening to electronic music. Because EDM is a style that I am personally not used to hearing, I don’t see the appeal in it.

Both articles carry validity in their arguments however it is important to take bias into account when analyzing their points. Throughout analyzing their articles, I’ve found my own personal…

Culture: Problem or Normality? When thinking about the dance music scene, what does one think of? Hard basslines and kicks, loud music, DJs, bright lights, big venues, and the big one, the drugs. Whether you go back twenty years or look forward into the future twenty years, MDMA and various other drugs will always be prevalent in this culture. However, ecstasy is only as dangerous as you make it. House, Acid Techno, and Deep House were all being created around the same time MDMA was concocted…

sounds seems like a peculiar form of music one would dive into. Entering a rave party, you will merge yourself into a world where people dance for hours, colorful flashing lights and lasers pointing in capricious directions, and smoke spreading through the vibrating floor like a fog over a busy city that never sleeps. This kind of phenomenon has become a grasping event for those who want to enter a state of trance, and disappear into the rhythm of electronic music. Like every genre of music…

transform an individual’s understanding in an emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual manner. The far-reaching ramifications of discovery may differ for people and their contexts.

In the film “Billy Elliot”, it becomes clear that discoveries which evoke one’s innermost thoughts and feeling can lead to significant implications. This view is seen in the angry dance scene…

The setting is taken place in a small college dorm room that has brand new college supplies that are not unpacked yet. Next, the two girls turn around and introduce each other.

hopes to put an end to the movement all together, and law enforcement shut down the “Acid House parties”. However, these complications did not stop young people from doing what they loved. As I have said, not everyone who raves, doe it for the drugs. So the true and compassionate ravers, continued on in safety. One man said, “Acid House was an example of the media not allowing youth culture to ferment and allow itself to go off in the different directions it needs to to become something great.”…
