Describing/imagining being high when you're sober. (reddthat.com)
 

Do you feel like it's possible to accurately imagine or even describe what it's like to be high when you aren't? Every single time I get high, the experience always sort of, surprises(?) me, as being so drastically different from what I might have anticipated. It's always such a paradigm shift in how I experience my Self and my place in the "universe." (Currently at a 5.)

Nothing would really surprise me. I am fascinated by that Black Mirror episode where they have cameras in their eyes and can play back anything they've ever seen, or download/stream for others to see. Even this seems totally plausible eventually.

I listened to hair bands (Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant) at that age so I certainly can't judge anyone!

What kind of music degrees? What exactly do you mean by aesthetic reactions?

Discovering Metallica (this was when the black album came out, so they were suddenly everywhere) and getting into their previous 4, now classic, albums definitely filled a need in me when I was a teen.

100%. While I'd been super into music from the time I was 12, my ability to appreciate it both more granularly (noticing more details, like you said) and viscerally (as it helped me become less uptight) increased dramatically when I started smoking bud (right after graduating high school, which I think I'm grateful I held off til then, although I'm now an ent for 25 years as of this month! Totally insane...)

That is an amazing song. My favorite Jimi song is Bold as Love. Such a good vibe. (And it's the perfect album closer). I love when music gives me chills, it doesn't seem to happen nearly as much as it used to, though. I wonder if that's a part of getting older. I still love finding a new song or artist to love of course, but when it really hits you on a visceral level it's a whole 'nother level.

That is totally a win. I love being able to humblebrag to my kids' friends that I saw Radiohead a couple of times on their Kid A tour. Knowing my dad saw Sly and the Family Stone in concert kind of blows my mind.

That album became overplayed for me unfortunately, but I remember what an experience those first listens were. I was older, though. It's cool that you connected with such a musical trip at such a young age.

I love this! I never heard of the artist or album. Looking at the cover, I can see why you were drawn to it! It's so wonderfully bizarre... I remember being wowed to learn that my dad had seen Zeppelin in concert a few times. It was like he'd been in the presence of a god!

Interesting, never heard of them. Was there a specific song that stands out?

I don't know, Pour Some Sugar on Me is pretty timeless despite it's cheese. Can't argue with that chorus! Curious, how old were you?

Do you remember the first time you really clicked with music? I remember being on a family vacation at 9 or 10, getting some sort of random Beatles "Hits" cassette tape at whatever gas station, and playing it nonstop in my off-brand Walkman. That was the first time I really felt music in my bones, and to this day few things are as exciting as finding a new song to love.
