Stoner music[edit]

Music that people like to listen to while stoned. Unverifiable, totally subjective. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

keep - I'd vote to delete if this were a list of "stoner music", but it appears to be a (mediocre) article about a legitimate phenomenon. Why is this subjective? Brighterorange 18:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Massive rewrite and clean, I suppose. The way it's written, it's purely amateur and POV, but there is a term out there in wide use, although what it refers to changes with every speaker. (I always thought stoners liked music that was not drug-like at all; tends to be the sober people who listen to the lysurgic music, while the stoned get mellow and listen to the board tape of "Dark Star" from the Ontario show, because it's, like, way different from the, like, Detroit show.)

Merge with stoner metal? Or is there a difference? Smerdis of Tlön 20:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Stoner. Calling it a genre is a weak case when the definition states: The genres of music this can include, can vary quite widely, depending on the listener's drug of choice and mood. If all that this variety of kinds of music have in common is that they appeal to stoners, just note it in the Stoners article. --Tabor 21:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I know people who like to listen to Bach when stoned. —Wahoofive (talk) 21:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Definitely not the same as stoner metal. Neologism, or another music "genre" that isn't really a "genre" since it's definition is totally dependent on the individual. Soundguy99 12:27, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
