To be honest I as IDM fan would most likely ask you to turn it off as well.
>>64523895
i wish i was kidding anon
So did you back up Aphex Twin? Or did you submit to your friends and listen to their music.
Bro if your house you pick the music. Try to get them into it, and if they don't get it fuck them lol just keep listening while their uncomfortable. Why should you listen to their shitty music when they can listen to your shitty music? It's your house you cuck.

Tbh I would make fun of my friends if one of them put on afx when we smoke. Normally we listen to lcd soundsystem or Kendrick and that's always fun. If I'm alone I'll listen to different stuff, but know your audience man

Aphex is better on speed.
I have a friend who used to have a huge hard-on for Wiz Khalifa. I mean that's the only artist he'd listen to, and he had the whole discography ready to go at any given point. I'd be playing some varied music, some stuff we both ennjoyed growing up, and this mother fucker would go and change it to the same fucking Wiz song we just heard 20 minutes ago. I was vocal about it, wondering what the fuck he was losing his shit over in regards to that god awfully droning and repetitive dindu, and he'd just say "don't be a hater, bro"
Some people just don't like good music. It's not accessible. Y'know how some people love fast food, try to go out of their way to get it, and then they finally hit a good resturaunt and they order tendies?
Don't let them control your stereo. Im guilty of this myself, and you knoweth no hell like SOHN on repeat for 2 hours. Blast Drukqs for me and smile as they throw a shitfit
>>64523948
why are you fucking friends with them then? you're a submissive faggot
>>64523815
>wanting to listen to neurotic computer sounds when high

Really what is the rate of autism on this board
>>64526830
Select Ambient Works is pretty chill m8
>>64526926
You do understand why people wouldn't enjoy listening to this when high right? Especially when you were just listening to reggae.
>>64526193
>don't be a hater bro
This is the single worst phrase in the English language. It give mongoloids the only excuse they need to ignore all criticism and continue doing stupid shit
>>64526978
Im not OP but I can see why they wouldnt like it when they actually legitimately prefer to listen to reggae when smoking weed. They sound like plebs desu. SAW 85 is chill as fuck, they would be offput by it seeing as how theres no generic bassline in it
you guys sound like fun at parties
>>64524260
LCD Soundsytem is my go-to all the time. Or the Blue Album.
>>64527156
Is there something wrong with listening to reggae while smoking weed? Do you really think listening to computer music while smoking weed makes you special?
>I don't like instrumental music
>It's like the song never begins.
If I want to show my friends any kind of electronic music that isn't EDM I have to show it to them when they're high. I played a bit of DJ Rashad for one of them and he was asking me if it was a joke because he couldn't find the groove.
At our next smoke sesh I play the one about the kush not being loud. He flips his shit and is super onto it.

I don't even really like Aphex Twin that much, but at least Xtal would be fucking heaven to listen to high.
>>64527253
fag
>>64527411
Yeah I was just listening to it, I totally understand why people wouldn't like this when high.
>>64527435
Good one pussy.
>>64527253
Theres nothing wrong with listening to reggae high m8, its probably the only time you should be listening to reggae. Just saying OP's friends sound pleb as fuck and its not surprising they were turned off by aphex twin since the most complicated thing theyve ever heard is probably "no women no cry"
Also, my main point is that SAW 82 is a perfectly "chill" album to listen to while high. If we were talking about drukqs or any of his other releases I would agree, but SAW is as chill as it gets
>>64523815
I like aphex twin but get some doom metal cunt
>>64527477
So you think that people who would rather listen to reggae than relatively strange electronic music while stoned with their friends are automatically inferior? That's why so many people on this board have no friends or girlfriends. So socially retarded and so stubborn to admit that's what's happening, instead developing these delusions of superiority for being strange.
>>64527451
>I totally understand why people wouldn't like this when high
You could say that about anything. I can understand why anyone wouldn't like anything when high, because people are different and like different things. There's nothing about Xtal or Aphex Twin in general that makes it fucking anti-high music or something. Thinking back on it, the first time I listened to that album was with my friend after smoking. I didn't totally care for it outside of certain tracks, but my friend liked it.
put on some dank scientist, at least some reggae that isnt trash
>>64527532
Their music taste is inferior 100 Percent. I never said anything about them being shittier human beings
You must be a reggae fag with how buttblasted you're getting about this
>>64527607
I'm not pissed or something, I'm just a person who knows people that used to think like you as teenagers. What are your qualifications for thinking you have a superior understanding of music? What kind of music do you make?
>>64527532
>>64527641
Not him, but the fact that we are here discussing music and listening to all genres already shows that we have a superior understanding.
Reggae fag confirmed
>>64527668
I'm not a huge reggae fan, probably 3 reggae artists on my whole itunes. I'm just saying I understand why aphex twin is unappealing when high and it makes perfect sense that most people would rather listen to reggae when smoking. To act like you're special or superior because you don't feel this way is a joke.
>>64527641
Reggae is some of the most boring, monotonous, generic shit there is m8. Its not surprising that mostly stoners/jamaicans listen to it, seeing as how its the perfect "im so fucking high zoned out this bass line is pretty chill" music
>>64527532
The problem is that these people aren't doing it because they enjoy the tropical sounds of reggae, they play ot because, "lol, weed, man. Bob Marley, dude. Rastafarianism is only about weed and has nithing to do with Ethiopia. This is the sound of stoners. It's weird if we don't listen to reggae while smoking." If these people had a genuine interest in the music and weren't just using it to further their stoner image it would be totally fine.
>"oh its aphex twin. its sorta like chill musi-"
LOL
>>64527707
> I never said anything about them being shittier human beings
Thats what he said. He never said he was superior, only thinks it's sad that his friends weren't more open minded. Also, get the fuck away from iTunes, it's garbage
>>64527721
There's also the fact that when in a group of people, you probably won't be analyzing the music at the level that you would while alone, and you have to pick something more generic because the simple fact that the more people you have, the more varied the taste will be. That's why most people don't like the vibe when you put on weird shit. Just because you like it doesn't mean that other people will, and that doesn't make you better
>>64527732
Second perspective. Reggae is an agreeable and relaxed genre made for and by high people so it's generally appealing to people who are high. It's much more unlikely that two other people are going to be down with listening to your indie electronic music with that percussion style when stoned. I can't believe I have to explain this shit.
>>64525348
Aphex is good on speed but he's actually really great when stoned too, not sure how you got that confused. . .
>>64527788
He said his taste was superior, their taste being "100% inferior"
>>64527721
Haven't posted ITT yet, but I really love reggae and all kinds of ska and reggae influenced music, Dub being one of my favorites.
And hell yea most of my appreciation goes for the basslines. They are so sweet. I also love pretty much any kind of music with a strong repetitive bassline, like I've been on an old-school House music binge for this reason.
Probably not surprising that I also play bass.
Why do you think its boring, monotonous and generic?
>>64527732
Its not even a "problem", you are just getting irrationally angry on an internet anime board over a small thing someone else chose to do.
>>64523815
>"this sounds like fuckin minecraft music!"
exactly what i thought when i first heard avril 14th
Showing someone music in hopes that they'll like it is pretty gay.
I find it really bizarre that some people don't dig Aphex when they're stoned. They must not really want to get lost. He does lush shit well and there's great sensuality but also those bizarre rhythms and timbres that really work ur propriocentricity out and get u disoriented, top stoned stuff. Never understood why people don't want insane sensory assaults while stoned. I mean, Sonic Youth is scary if ur anxious but Aphex always hones his noise assaults to peak stoniness.

I usually play stuff like Icarus the Owl, Dance Gavin Dance, Fall Out Boy, but they really dig Immortal, CHON, and Satyricon
>all of these people being epic contrarians

Serves you right for associating with other people

Has James admitted to doing psychedelics? I know some of his stuff drew inspiration from lucid dreaming, and it seems like most people interested in the surreal dabble with lsd at some point
this is why I don't hang out with retarded suburban trash
>>64523815
Wow did you feel superior to them for knowing about Aphex Twin, the ultra-obscure electronic artist that absolutely no-one knows and hasn't been uniformly praised by critics for nearly two decades?
>>64524951
>playing swans while high
boards of canada or tame impala make top tier stoner music when you just wanna chill, but if i'm by myself i'll usually listen to new or challenging music. bjork is amazing while high also
I smoked for about the fourth time, this time i actually got high because they weren't being stingy, and i realized I can't listen to music with my friends because one listens to painfully mediocre hip hop and the other one listens to derivative stoner rock, and I wouldn't mind electric wizard, or black Sabbath even, but it's always like a fucking Ty Segall band, or the first five minutes of Wish you Were Here, and tries to shove it down my throat. I don't even try to play my music because it would just be even more obnoxious. Listening to Turn on The Bright Lights was pretty incredible.
>>64526978
SAW is super chill.
>>64523929
when i first tried weed at 15, we were listening to drukqs and icbyd non-stop, it was amazing.
the fuck is up with you guys, listening to aphex stoned is great
You can tell a group of people are uninteresting when they just sit around listening to music instead of having intelligent discussion
I don't get how some of you people haven't met ONE person who's as musically invested as you.
It's not like music is something obscure or non mainstream as a hobby.
>>64524951
tfw my friends are normie but they support my tastes and will listen to whatever I put on when we smoke.
You guys gotta embrace the hipster sometimes, it's hip to be weird now, guys jesus.
