The politicization of trance music had a very funny moment back on an old mailing list I was on in the early 2000s. Some guy was trying to say that we should be against the Iraq war because we were into trance music and it was part of a wider social justice for all, peace, love unity, respect, etc thing.
Someone countered that raves are probably illegal in Iraq and Israel makes really good trance music, so we should support their political aims instead and support the Iraq war.
- drharby 8y agoI absolutely despise politicization of music on the grounds of liberty and freedom of thought. It draws a line that if A (trance raver) then B (toe the line to this political cause) else you are castout. I tangibly witnessed this on an edc vegas page where the admin got drunk with power and just spammed the page with politics. It became a meme on the page within a week. PLUR, unless you disagree with us, lol
