TDAH (the drug associative hypothesis)

TDAH (shortened form of the words "the drug associative hypothesis" - Basically the knowledge and awareness that certain types of media can influence what substances we take- hence example...

Mother 1: Hey, chris is listening to Pink Floyd, so be prepared- he might take LSD sometime in the future...

Mother 2: Hey, Sarah is dancing to rave music, so be prepared- she might take Ecstasy sometime in the future...

Father 1: Hey, Danny is watching The Simpsons, so be prepared- he might take alcohol sometime in the future... oh wait, thats not bad :)

TDAH (the drug associative hypothesis)

Note- This is not necessarily accurate, however the term relates to the lifestyles and media influences associated with the drug in question, and is an easy way of identifying what drug might be craved and taken under the influence of what lifestyle the given person has chosen :P

The day the music died

Term used to describe any day in which a musician of critical acclaim passes on. The term generally refers to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper passed on when their plane crashed, but has in recent times been used to describe the passing of other legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon and most recently, Michael Jackson. The term originated from Don Mclean's song 'American Pie', and the event itself is a very emotional time for the music industry, and of course the many dedicated fans of the icon themselves... but it is important to remember that although they are physically gone, the musical contribution they have made to our lives and the music scene in general shall remain with us always...

The day the music died:

Buddy Holly
The Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Michael Jackson

R.I.P :(

Please note that my opinion is not above other people: you may have your own musical icons that deserve to be up here, which is perfectly fine- but this only refers to the most famous and recognisable musicians where a day the music died has been made upon their passing.

the Hendrix effect-

bypasses the standard expectancy of their own potential and limits"

Richard: Geez, Mike's taking his art exam a little too seriously don't ya think?
David: Probably suffering from the Hendrix effect. He's looking for absolute creativity...

tripping

A state of mind brought on by experiencing a different state of consciousness- mostly through vast changes in perception, senses and thought patterns. Tripping is usually experienced through the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin- but can also be experienced naturally as well. This is because psychedelic drugs are supposed to break down the filters of the mind i.e 'thought at large' which are believed to eliminate unnecessary thought patterns. Because the mind (including the alleged filters) were not fully developed in youth, tripping could sometimes happen naturally as a result. And if you don't believe me or think it's impossible, then read the example... you'll know what I'm talking about :)

When I was younger, the world seemed a more vibrant place. It was much easier to daydream or lose myself in my thoughts, or imagine things as though they were real. Music felt really alive, as though it connected with me somehow, and I could spend hours following every crevice in the pavement on the way home from school... where now I couldn't care less. That is how I viewed the world as a child... but having matured since then those abilities have been lost as a result. Tripping makes you more aware of all the details that pass us by- and whether it's through drugs or natural causes, tripping is a great way to realize all the finer things around us that we normally take for granted :)

Selling Out

A rather obsolete term people use to describe bands that have become more mainstream/commercial, usually after signing to a major label. Of course, just because a band has become more mainstream doesn't mean they've 'sold out'- it just means they have more money to spend on professional recordings, greater exposure, etcetera. And as long as a band does not prioritise money over their artistic vision then they should not be accused of wrongdoing. And the fact is, the majority of people who accuse bands of selling out are just irate at the fact that their music is no longer exclusive to them and the niche audience that they can brag about being a part of. So long as money exists people will always have a reason to accuse a band of being in cahoots with men in black suits. Besides, a lot of landmark albums in specific genres have been released when a band had signed to a major label. A band can't help it if their music appeals to the mainstream, so give them a break. And the only artists who should be accused of selling out are those manufactured by heartless record execs with a fetish for money, not those who set out to be a band and sign to a major to gain greater exposure and the recognition they deserve. At the end of the day, everyone's a sellout anyway: we all support the establishment whether we intend to or not, so don't forget that next time you target another band with the 'selling out' ethos.

Dude 1: God, why are you listening to Green Day? they've totally sold out since signing to Warner Bros. You should listen to the Sex Pistols, at least they're not some commercial wannabe rock band.
Dude 2: You do realise that the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI, Virgin and even Warner Bros. right?
Dude 1: (remains silent)
Dude 2: Exactly... so your 'selling out' arguments a bit naive isn't it?

staying sober- so you dont have to!

Nice term to describe anyone designated or willing to stay sober at events involving alcoholic consumption. Basically, a nice way of saying, "don't worry my friend, I'm staying sober- so you don't have to! Which means I'll be there at the end of the evening to question that 'date' you picked up, drive you home, and provide adequate support for you're drunken heap of a body... well go on then, get drinking!"

Joseph: Hey, you having a drink?
Joe: Nope, I'm staying sober- so you dont have to!
Joseph: okay- You just volunteered to pay... bitch!
