Definitely makes sense.
I imagine a prehistoric tribe dancing in trance around the fire, playing with improvised instruments.
The human experience is so "lonely" - we all are separate entities in desperate need to belong - and sharing a common experience and emotion definitely bonds people. It would help glue a tribe together, which is decidedly a survival advantage. And the poor fella who didn't join in because he didn't care much for music would have been marked as an outcast :-)
- aswanson 9y agoThis concept reminds me of the "uni-mind",a concept from Jack Kirbys comic series "The Eternals", which I read as a kid.
- stinos 9y agoI imagine a prehistoric tribe dancing in trance around the fire This is basically how I, and others, tend to feel when attending goa/acidcore/dnb (that one to a lesser extent though) parties. All together in front of the speakers, just us and the music, then the sun coming up. Pure bless. And that's even without drugs, or at least not a lot, go imagine what it's like with certain substances :P. I tried hard, but this doesn't work for me at all with more popular/known genres, presumably both because of music and audience, too much people just chatting instead of dancing etc, and also never got that connection with metal etc. Would love to see research on that.
