isn't music about expressing inner emotions?
I think it is.if I am sad should I fight with my feelings and make happy music?I can't do it.I just won't feel good...
btw,you can distinguish the Real dark music from neo-full on or dark psy or whatever...for me it have to be telling a story,it must be deep and have some meaning...sometimes it's hard to understand the message the artist is trying to explain,but for me that is what makes the music different and more attractive.you have to listen in the right enviroment in the right time...I have nothing against full on or proggy,if they are played in the right time with the right enviroment...I only hate "empty" music,with no meaning at all.those "black sheeps" are everywere,in all genres of psy and in all genres of music.you can stay away from them of enjoy them...
I believe most "non-sense" music is often more popular to the crowds because it's not so complex and it's message (if there is any) is quick and direct...so it's easier to get into it and dance to it...
usually after a good party I come home happy.why?I release all my inner problems and bad "energies" during the agressive sound in the night,dancing like maniac and so,but when the morning comes and usually more happier music comes too,I have released the bad karma during the night and now I have a smile in my face.the happy mood of the people around us usually makes us happy too...so when the party is over I come home happy because.
- I went to the party to disconnect myself from the "real" world and have serious fun
- I let all the madness come out in the night,so I feel better inside
- the morning makes my soul slowly become filled with happyness and a kind of "I feel good" state
but (trying to get) back on topic...
I've never seen satan worshippers at parties making rituals with dead chickens and so...instead I've seen people fighting,guys slapping they're girlfriends,etc...guess what,if I still remember,full on music was being played.these kind of persons probably didn't released they're bad energies during the night sound.
I love real dark music,(not only in electronic variant) and strange and bizzarre paintings,schulpture,Goth wave,I usually dress black and so...but I've never fighted at a party...if you catch me you will always see me with a smile,all night and all day.
saying "devil worshipping" because of the track names and so is pointless because the dark feeling can't be represented by words (at least in this scene,because I've seen many "happy music" artists with evil-related track names)...instead you must hear the music and most important than all...you must FEEL it
off course,IMHO
I say...like Spindrift said before,let everyone make or listen the kind of music they want...if during a party someone at a party come near you and asks "hey can you give me a piece of your hair?me and the guys are making a satanic ritual behind the Dj place,we already have 3 dead cats,5 chickens and 10 frogs but we still need 2 Kg of human's hair...let me cut a bit,I have a scissor" then you have something to complain about satanists in this scene...or maybe a guy doing the mosh around the dancefloor screaming like Dani Filth
