Look, I’m the real deal. I swap my socks every single month! 😛

Negative energy—it’s just a release valve. It’s cathartic!
You’ve clearly never heard of positive hate.
Look, his emotions and frustrations come across as genuine, not some staged performance for the cameras.
The fact that you perceive it that way says more about you than him.
You total fraud! ☕

Look, man, I’m just frustrated. I can't even wrap my head around which direction this whole thing is heading anymore!
It's all going straight down the drain!
Honestly, just use this thread as a pressure valve!
Just let it out, brother! 👍

Oh, give me a break. You’re actually heading out for the third week in a row? Seriously?

GOA is back, baby! 😁

Finally, my second spring. 🙏 🙏

Hell yeah, Willy. This stuff is timeless. It’s way ahead of its time! 👍
It’s going to sound legendary forever.

The Der Dritte Raum-lava
Wooooohoooo, pure acid vibes. 😍
That’s what real prog sounds like! 😁

Look, Amanda Booth, if you’re being honest with yourself, you aren't some fragile little thing, so I don't get why the hell you're acting offended!
Why should I be offended? Women shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense. It's just guys in Chicago—balding, mediocre types with nothing to their names—chasing after girls while they're high on anything they can find and hanging out with cheap socialites.

Amanda Booth said:God... look what this has turned into. Just endless bickering over girls. Isn't music supposed to be the main event?

Unfortunately, for most people at house and techno parties, it isn't...
It’s not about being elitist. I’ve been there plenty of times, and let me tell you, it’s not like we trance fans are knee-deep in pure musical fanaticism or anything.

Amanda Booth said:There’s this specific energy among those who actually listen... like everyone is mentally synced up... just a constant, faint smile playing on their lips...

Well, yeah... when they're on acid. 😍

Amanda Booth said:I don't see that much in the club scene. Most people are just trapped in their own frantic, isolated bubbles—driven by fear rather than love. They're searching instead of giving. And they think drugs will set them free. What a joke. If you don't carry that spark inside you, no drug is going to conjure something that simply isn't there...

But that’s exactly the point, especially that last part!

Trance—aside from the bottom-feeders playing full-on stuff—isn't "fun" music. It demands a deeper state of consciousness.
Especially when things get altered. 😍 🤣 🙏

Take Prana - Boundless, for instance. 🙏

Man, you’re probably too high on some cheap weed to even grasp the fundamental differences between these two dance cultures!

In my experience... I've never seen anyone at a trance party, whether here or abroad, engage in any kind of collective (b)lowing off steam!

I'm sure she isn't some housewife from the suburbs!
Maybe she’s a trance fan or some drummer girl 😁
It doesn't matter where she's from—it's all about her mindset!

Oh, I actually know one girl who went absolutely wild when Sven was playing with Best, and she was only 15 at the time.
After the show, a bunch of girls lined up for autographs, and this one offered him sex on a napkin.
The guy, naturally, said yes. And she spent the whole night at the After 8 party bragging about how she scored Sven. :slurp:

Look, I’m not showing up to a party just to perform some ridiculous mating ritual like a Siberian grouse!
Then your whole idea of dance culture is total garbage!
And as for women from California? They aren't any sexier... they're just more slutty. Sorry, California, but that's the impression I've gathered over all these years of dating. 😁
Though, fine—I'll admit New York City women can be insufferably stuck-up.

I couldn't get any rest because some girls from California kept rubbing their asses against my groin!
So I ended up staying pretty much wide awake. 😍

I'll give him hell... I went once about four or five years ago, and that's why I grabbed a Visa pass—just to see what people were actually paying $40 for that garbage... and honestly,
what a total joke 🙏

Jason Chavez32 said:You guys haven't got a clue what you're talking about. When you take aim at Morales, you're taking aim at the entire culture of dance music. 👎

🤣
You're exaggerating. It’s not just house and techno filling up those dance floors. Besides, compared to the psytrance scene, the actual cultural footprint at those festivals is practically nonexistent.
Comparing a massive trance festival to a single club night is just... ridiculous.

I’ll keep dragging Morales through the mud if that’s what it takes. I’m done with these types of shows. I just want to dance at Coachella, listening to the most infectious music on the planet... under a clear sky, in a place where the sound actually matters more than the DJ.
Not in some run-down dive bar, either. Not when you're stuck listening to some meathead ego-tripper playing greasy, obnoxious tracks just to hear himself talk.
Just sitting there, mindlessly snacking while nursing a Bud Light in one hand and playing pocket billiards at House Coke with the other. Total bliss. 😛
I’m sick to death of this mating music!

No such thing as astral projection. It’s just a pipedream. A total utopia.

Alexander Morris25 said:I’ll just try some reverse psychology here, if you can call it that.
Basically, I'm flipping the movie titles around. 🙂
And honestly, calling them "the best" is a massive stretch.

I'm with you on this one! 🙂

Is it even possible for someone to actually pull off a decent comedy these days?
In the last few years
nothing like that has really crossed my path 🙏
I'll take a look at some options over the next couple of days and let you know 👍

Look, those big-box retailers like Walmart or Home Depot... they've got the cheap stuff.
I’m pretty sure at Target, they even have the 2.5 KW models on sale right now.

but twoooooooooooooooooooo 😬

Nancy Thompson3 said:Well, that’s just how some people roll, I guess. Personally? I wouldn't choose to live one single day like a tiger. That kind of mindset... it's exactly what those mobsters live by, and frankly, I can't stand them.
It isn't about the length of your life, really. It's more important that whatever little time you actually get, it's lived high.
It's all or nothing, like that old song says. But then again, if you listen to the rest of the lyrics, the guy ends up losing his brother to the whole mafia lifestyle anyway.

Man, this is just an ancient Chinese proverb...
you're totally missing the point 👍

DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC!!!
but then what moves your soul besides just chasing order and discipline...

Silence.

I knew this guy back in high school who's been stuck in a heavy depression for years now...
because he realized there's no passion, nothing to actually pull him out of his routine and into that easy, free way of living, he finally saw how spiritually empty he really was!

That's exactly what scares me.
But what about this? Mt 5:3: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!"

Math 😬
Uhh, there aren't exactly many people like me around...

Just lean into what you're good at, and in ten years, you'll be glad you were this serious, smart little weirdo.

Yeah, but then what?

While you're grinding away at some research institute, your "funny" friends will all be hitting up bars, saying "come on, just one more drink."

Sure, but I'll be living alone, just me and myself, being my own best friend while they all have someone else by their side.
And honestly, what do I need all that extra cash for anyway?

None of those social circles or busy activities are gonna kill your creativity.

I don't know... I don't really have much time...😢
And when the holidays roll around, I feel even more isolated because I don't see anyone from school. Day after day goes by... I'm losing time so fast and in such huge amounts that I don't even realize it's happening. Last summer break just slipped right through my fingers... two and a half months, zero friends, and all that time spent on absolutely nothing... 😲

And I don't even like myself much because of it...
There are people I like, and there are people who like me, but they push me away because they probably think I'm not interested in them since I'm so quiet and withdrawn.

In my opinion, one of the absolute dumbest quotes ever written is from some mindless little children's book they made us read in Sunday school recently.
They said that quote was meant for people with mental deficiencies!
Like Jesus, he’s offering them the Kingdom of Heaven—mostly because they’re all idiots, so at least they might get something out of it. 😕 🙄

Just find some damn passion. Otherwise, you’re going to spend your entire life crawling around like a worm.

So, what do you think of one from China?

Better to live one day like a tiger than an entire lifetime as a worm.🙄
