    SpaceBrain given a Damn from Requiem in Weed   
    One time I was withdrawing from Cymbalta after not taking it for a few days, and for me the first thing I notice when I quit is just this intense emotionality. So I was just in my room and I figured I'd smoke some cannabis and that that'd make me feel better. Nope, it just amplified the intense emotionality. I ended up crying like a child while listening to death metal, and I could swear I could hear the world's grief in the music. This went on for hours until I was exhausted and went to sleep.
    Another time I had too much cannabis and I was really tired and laying down. My thoughts were spiraling like crazy and my eyes were closed. I started to suspect that I was asleep and that when we fall asleep we are still conscious, but don't remember any of it. So I thought I was in this like hidden zone of life which was the sleep life. Anyway, seeing that I remember this, it doesn't seem particularly plausible. I was just feeling different and finding strange possible explanations.
    Another time I had too much cannabis and I had some kind of mania-like symptoms. I ended up making about three facial expressions per second for an hour, just random ones with no real pattern. I also had two thought streams at the same time and I felt like my body was possessed by something that wasn't me. 
    The very first time I got high was from a friend who just handed me some chocolate without telling me what it was. Next thing I know I'm teleporting around the house trying to figure out what the fuck is going on lol. It took me a little bit of time to piece together the fact that I must be high, and that was what being really high was like. By the way, pranking people with drugs...not cool!
    As for my habits, I tend to use nightly in small amounts to lift my mood and make me feel relaxed. Occasionally I take a big amount, but it's almost like a different drug in large amounts, and set and setting become important. Lately I like Blue Dream.

    SpaceBrain given a Damn from FatherAlabaster in What makes a genre?   
    I think the point of having genres is to enhance communication, and for that matter it's ultimately the community that should be defining what falls under what genre, and what each genre is. 
    From a more philosophical standpoint, you could attempt to define genres by delineating various musical traits and creating a space from these musical traits. Then you could populate this space with bands (data points) and employ statistical learning algorithms to try to find clusters. Each cluster would be given a genre label, and bands that fall around the periphery of a cluster or don't fall into a cluster would be described as either being a blend of genres or unclassified. 
    I think this approach would be interesting, but one problem with it is that it's hard to make it account for the way music is interpreted in the human brain, or by different human brains. It's also hard to determine which musical traits to care about, and how much each one should be cared about (weighting/scaling). I think it's quite reasonable to have the community figure genres out through listening and discussion/debate because that lies closest to the heart of the purpose of having genres, which is to facilitate communication and exploration.
