What the hell is this word? A new faked genre for dislectic narcotrafficants? Please in any case, you have to choose whether it is a subgere of "Ambient" , Goa or Trance. Happy self-destruction to all. Brian W 11:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I admit that I have a "somewhat non-neutral" attitude regarding one important thread: I do not believe that drugs (LSD, heroin, cannabis,....) can improve "spirituality" or "creativity" , there is no scientific evidence on this matter, but as you can see I'm not going around trolling Timothy Leary related articles and proponents. My recent edit at Jimi Hendrix has been appreciated. So, please stop considering psybient as a genre itself, though it may be said that it is a style. Do you know the difference between idiomatic expressions , slang and encyclopedic language? Are you aware that most of articles claiming to deal with "electronic music subgenres" are unsourced or grounded only on independent websites? If you continue stating that this is a genre, we should assume that someone is deliberately trying to relate Ambient music and psychedelia . Of course it is merely POV, and the only reason I can see is that someone here is deliberately trying to advocate the use of drugs in the context of ambient music. Brian W 13:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Psybient/Psychill absolutely is a particular genre of music, and those familiar with it can easily identify it. I wonder why this upsets you so much that you resort to strange drug addled conspiracy theories...

What the deuce does some edit at the Hendrix article have to do with anything? I assume it means you have no problem with the genre of "psychedelic rock"... which strikes me as more than a little hypocritical.72.33.51.197 (talk) 18:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The music _is_ the drug! Many thanks for this highly informative resource for Shpongaholics.

[edit] Personal Beliefs, Drug Use, Genre

A correlation between drugs and music does not a genre make, granted, but in my reading of this article I've formed the opinion that the article only discusses the existing relationship and influence of specific psychoactive drugs on the genre and is not advocating drug use. Additionally, much as species in taxinomy can be recognized by subtle changes in habits or characteristics, we must afford the same respect to that which evolves in other ways. Music is constantly and rapidly evolving, often (regularly?) out-pacing attempts to classify and catalogue it.

I would feel that your point ("I do not believe that drugs (LSD, heroin, cannabis,....) can improve 'spirituality' or 'creativity'") would have more validity if this article had been written on the subject of creativity but it seems obvious that this is written from a much different viewpoint. If the article stated something along the lines of "this group of artists make music that is awesome when you take drugs" then I would understand your concern.

However, it is precisely because of the resourceful nature of this page that I'm posting this comment now, as I've returned to this page specifically and frequently in order to see what albums &/or artists have been added lately in this genre! It is my hope that this, along with other Wikipedia articles, will be a continuing source (one of my several) for new music ideas. We must embrace the constantly fluid and changing nature of the internet and our world in order for Wikipedia to remain relevant, which includes recognizing that which may be outside of our realms of experiences and beliefs!

What kind of web is [1] supposed to be? It certainly does not look like recording label's web, more like one of those scam/ad webs that prey on people's typos. Vaclav Haisman (talk) 06:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
