You Anons don't do this, right? You do realize drugs are ESSENTIAL to the artistic process, right?

Nope never did drugs
Does anyone else think that druggies need to be banned from listening to music? Seriously. They have an objectively incomplete perspective (the brain is altered by drugs so they aren't using their full faculties to experience a song). I love it when druggies think that their opinions on music are better than yours simply based on how much drugs they've taken.
Newsflash: the music from the sixties wasn't good. Whenever druggies pine on about the sixties they are actually just talking about how much they love to get high. If you ask them to explain why a song is good, they will often fall back to something along the lines of: "dude the musician was taking a bunch of acid -- he was SO HIGH when he made this. super crazy shit man! You've never taken LSD so you just wouldn't understand how good this song is." It's also a subtle way to feel better about themselves because they feel accomplished about having "gotten higher" than others. It's mega-cringe.
This goes for all substances. Even if you drink a glass of wine while listening to a song, you are not listening to it through an objective lens. Druggies have been ruining music for half a century, and I think it's time that they were called out. The influence of drugs and alcohol on music could play a major role in why music devolved into what we have today.
met this guy at his restaurant in LA. complete weirdo, grabbed a few women inappropriately
He should have done more drugs in his life, maybe then he wouldn't turn out to be such an aggressive creep.
Holy based.
Idk if this is a copypasta but Yes
absolutely based
TL;DR, but based anyway.
have life experiences bitch
>he claims to be a "songwriter" but he's never had a girlfriend
You, OP, don't do this, right? You do realize romance is ESSENTIAL to the artistic process, right?
straight edge people have made some good shit ngl
>listen sober to music made by people on drugs for people on drugs
>”this music sucks!”
>>he claims to be a "songwriter" but he doesn't do any drugs
I sometimes write 4-5 songs a day and I have no idea if doing mushrooms/LSD/dudelmao helped. I have always been an open minded person but I guess I am more open to new ideas after doing them. I'm fairly certain my opioid/benzo/amphetamine binges didn't help. Amphetamines a bit when I took reasonable amounts but that never lasted.
Only thing I find useful for writing recently is cigarettes. I'll tell myself I can have one if I finish a song and I always finish one. The nicotine gives me a little energy boost.
Either way OP, drugs have negligible effects on creativity or songwriting if you weren't creative to begin with or you don't practice your craft. Just write good material dudemang.
if music is only enjoyable when you're under the influence then its objectively bad music
>You do realize drugs are ESSENTIAL to the artistic process, right?
Not drugs user. Instead, PAIN
of course not
of course not and jesus cringe
The only music that’s only enjoyable under the influence is dance club schlock. 60s music is often about mindset and surrounding. Drugs can faciliate getting to that mindset but they aren’t necessary. Generally speaking the best music while sober is also the best music while on lsd.
implying you can listen to a piece of music through an objective lens
found the straight edge who thinks he's better than everyone
who said only one element is essential for songwriting? drugs AND pain
Drugs in this context mean "wake the fuck up and listen to this music from the perspective you're clearly missing"
bad music on drugs you thought were good on drugs is still bad music in the morning
pain comes with drugs. it's part of the deal.
Druggies often tend to be the most insufferable when it comes to any kind of media, most notably film and media. I also remember a thread on /lit/ saying that you should do drugs because it'll teach you more than any book ever could, and there were bydlo fucks endlessly shilling LSD and heroin and shit.
>nick drake
>he writes songs using a mouse and keyboard clicking in notes on a midi piano roll
Wow. This is literally the easiest way to get addicted to smoking.
The worst are people who interpret the lyrics to every song as being a metaphor for doing whatever kind of drugs they happen to be into at the time.
Based gene
>Objective art is a myth
You sound like you went to college lmao. Here's a dose of reality: Rachmaninoff is better than Captain Beefheart.
I know this is an old internet joke but god damn I’m being serious
Your waifu is shit
only a talentless hack would think you need drugs to write
