Terence McKenna

*hides*

Well, not your pal Mortimer.

No one takes a druggie seriously.

Name one relevant contemporary composer.

I'm watching this right now. Look at all those dorks.

How tall is that babe? Or are all those dudes manlets?

>14:33

My buddy dave

these videos always piss me off

It's not intelligent, and it's not from Detroit, but it's FUCKIN AVIN IT

>name one intellectual into techno
>no wait not that one I don't like him

I don't like most techno but there is good techno.

Techno is the big boy genre. You wouldn't understand it you underage queer.

Techno is unlistenable.

Was I right about my statement or was I right?

>understand
>techno

>listen to some music and enjoy it
>before voicing my opinion look up notable intellectual's opinions on said music
>can't find any that like it
Damn, guess I don't like that.

Is she OK with those kids rubbing up her butt like that?

why? Don't have much of a social life?

I have been at a lot of Techno events but the crowd has always been substantially different from the faggots you see in Boiler Room sets.

But I am from Germany, and our Techno culture is quite different around here.

What do you think of Berghain?

It's just a bunch of chicks and dudes that are into this stuff, how can it be different?

Intellectuals have shit taste. Ask Scaruffi

That vid was filmed in Berlin btw

Scaruffi is a nerd not an intellectual.

>he doesn't listen to fast paced techno to increase productivity

also works with metal

boiler room crowds are the scum of humanity

something about the kick drum just wants me to move around and do stuff. it's nearly primal.

you just don't like having fun

>disclaimer: not techno

That's not listening; the music is just there.

a room full of white people "dancing" to music they pretend to care about to seem like they have some semblance of a personality

thats not fun

this is

that video you linked isn't helping your case

bunch of old people trying to be hip and trendy

jesus christ that's so pathetic

It's called being functioning member of society.

Plenty of people take McKenna seriously.
You personally disliking him doesn't mean he wasn't influential, Quentin. If nothing else he came up with a method for reliably growing psilocybin mushrooms, which hadn't been done.
And he was involved in the goa scene.
Those are your benchmarks, right?

Never been there, but from what I heard it's a pretty good club which is still devoted to its principles and hasn't given in to commercialism - which is always good. Only the huge crowds of foreigners somehow ruin it.

Social Dynamics. There is a lot of Techno history in Germany. It sounds silly, but Germans tend to take their Techno relatively serious. Not everyone and not to ridiculous amounts, but it is indeed noticeable.

Yes, I didn't actually watch it. It probably has a lot do to with the facts that they're being filmed and eventually watched by millions of people. It needs a certain kind of personality to do that. I personally wouldn't do it.
Plus, everyone looks ridiculous when being filmed dancing for an hour or more - especially when you are dancing to Techno, which has nothing to do with trying to look anything close to good. You just move how your body dictates you to move.

i'm so glad i'm not like you people

you're a jaded motherfucker

you too

Jesus Christ go outside. Its Friday. Go to a club and drink.

You mean music or the crowd?

You in Germany, into techno parties, but never been in Berghain? What's the deal?

i genuinely pity people whose highlight of the week is spending all of their money at a club getting intoxicated with strangers to shitty music

Scooter is best German techno

How many katanas do you own

that sounds boring as fuck, and you sound boring as fuck

lmao you're a fucking nerd.

I don't travel to Berlin often and I don't really like standing in line for hours when all I want to do is listen to some damn good Techno. And you can have good Techno at almost every second corner in Berlin.

I feel the same for this at rock gigs, rap shows and the proms, fucking degenerates drinking alcohol and socialising

How does it make you feel that if you were born in any other time before the past 80 or so years you wouldn't even be able to listen to music by yourself. You would have to go listen to it live with other people who would likely be intoxicated.

there are greater pleasures in life than what you waste your time on.

how long have you been sitting in your computer chair NERD

the only bad part of that is shitty music

>why?
most of the people there don't act like thy even enjoy the music. their dancing isn't even matched up to the music for the most part. and a lot of the djs pass off bland minimalist beats as something more. but there are some good boiler room shows.
>Don't have much of a social life?
not really

imo this is your problem, you worry too much about the other people there. You're supposed to go to a place like that and just cut loose. You don't even have to interact with other people if you don't want to.

this post triggers the simps

>Friday night
>reading the second half of Atlas Shrugged
>George Michaels comes on my $2000 dollar vintage stereo system
>smirk slightly
>this is what the Greek philosophers were talking about when they were referring to the good life
>oh no, its 10:59 PM
>lights out, mom told me to be in bed before 11
>I'm so glad I finally convinced my parents to drive me to the afternoon latin jazz performance at starbucks tomorrow :)

He has written on philosophy, computer science, and neurobiology, besides his shitty reviews, you know.

Like bitching on Sup Forums about how Moby and Paul Oakenfold raped your dog?

But he's only known for his shitty reviews.

>a lot of the djs pass off bland minimalist beats as something more.
i said i don't like the music. i think it's really boring dance music. but to each their own. but also, my original statement was that i hate the videos. which is the boring music plus images of people i generally dislike.
why are you being such a faggot?

So an intellectual is strictly someone who is widely known as an intellectual?

i'm actually finishing repairing my bike tonight so I can go on a long, therapeutic ride tomorow, then I'm going to practice guitar for two hours, finish mixing some things I've been putting off, and then have a paid gig tomorrow night.

Have fun getting wasted.

>Have fun getting wasted.
Thank you! I will. :3

You have fun with your music!

Faggotry was the genesis of this thread, bud.

>look at how productive i am

This post has literally no weight because you're posting on fucking Sup Forums. You literally could not waste time to a higher degree.

op will never understand techno, never ever ever

...have you ever seen Scaruffi cutting himself loose in a techno party?

You must be fun at parties

>guitar

ahahahahahahahaha

I think OP understands it too well.

Do ppl just spend all night DANCING? I don't think I get it. Is it that addictive?

It's a shitty b8 thread ffs

no but the drugs r

"wahhh, I'm sensitive"

I gig and record too my dude. who are you trying to impress?

Yes just like at rock, rap, pop and jazz shows/gigs/events

False, he's known for his shitty reviews in Sup Forums. I had heard of him before when I started college.

No it's not. I'm writing a Phd thesis on how stupid techno is.

Those events last few hours. Pppl spend all night in techno clubs.

Some techno is good music

I just got back from a top billing at a jazz and blues festival playing banjo, I have steady album sales, and I'm gonna open a bottle of Compass Box Hedonism Saturday night.
Nothing you said was impressive, same goes for me.
Sorry you have autism and are jerking off your ego on a manchurian daguerrotype BBS.

no you don't

Because the musics better, obviously

Lmao

>fails to impress some no-faces on an internet forum
>"n-n-n-no ONLY I CAN DO THINGS"

Define intellectual, does Mark Verbos count or would you say he's just a glorified technician?

fuck you. terence mckenna said more interesting things in a 30 minute lecture than you ever will in your entire annoying faggot life

I dare you to post something. Anything. You don't even have to link your shit, use voracoo or clyp

Faggot. I know you won't.

liam howlett
juan atkins

...are you calling those dudes intellectuals?

not him, but you faggots are probably really fucking annoying and boring to be around. you people think too highly of yourselves. your fucking parents should have beat your asses more.

Let's just say he's Goa trance of intellectuals.

juan definitely is

What are their IQs?
What do they do outside the studio?

You have no idea do you to question them.

Any post that starts "not him" is always samefag.

he's black.

well, i once read an interview with liam howlett, and he's just some street kid who's fairly good at making beats.

and?

Varg

I don't care lol

fajrogreka.bandcamp.com/album/kapitalo-estas-dio

armsdealer.bandcamp.com/album/avtomat-kalashnikova

Those are just 2 projects.

I've played live countless times, collaborated with other local artists and recently performed on college radio.

I'm not doing this to validate myself. I don't mind shameless self promotion. You're just a fucking idiot. And a pussy.

This is why I didn't go to berghain when I visited Berlin, too much choice to be wasting hours queueing .

I personally lean towards the housey side of techno so the likes of Laurent Garner, John Digweed and Loco Dice are up my avenue. Visited Watergate only to be turned away, God knows why but I knew Berlin could be like this.

Went to Tresor instead and was not disappointed.

My local club (still fave):

Techno is for people in gay bars and warehouse raves on molly and meth. It's not supposed to be intelligent. But that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.
