I just want to say thank you for writing such a detailed response. It’s been quite eye-opening for me, I wasn’t even aware that so many great resources and communities exist to explicitly counter this sentiment I’ve been feeling about negativity in news and other media.
It’s very encouraging to see that I’m not the only one with this feeling, and even just the responses to this post are sending me on a whole journey of being more positive!
You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It’s early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me? There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.
Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.
If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I’ll refrain. Here’s just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X
The same is true for Wave music, but here’s a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000
Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.
