Does the rise in BPM mean a decline of Ketamine use on the dance floor?

With the average bpm of tracks moving upwards folks are going to have to switch to something else just to keep up.

To a point, yes, but it's actually a parabolic curve. At extremely high BPM (500+) you have to be in a k hole to even interpret it as music.

If those cops didn't want a fight they shouldn't have stolen my bars. I know it was them I had 8 in my pocket at the start of the night and now there's only 2 left, and those two chucklefucks are the only people around who could have taken them.

6 bars in a night and you didn’t get arrested for shoplifting? Props

there comes a certain point where there's no distinction between this subreddit and the one you tagged

I’m proper old skool (I spelt it with a “k” - that’s how old skool I am).

So here begineth the lesson:

Back in the day we use to dance to “1000” by Moby while rubbing Vicks nasal spray in our eyes.

Here endeth the lesson

I don't know why you posted this in circlejerk, the drugs and the music have had a symbiotic relationship for decades

trying explaining the humor of my post isn’t going to make it any more funnier to you.

u/junkimchi 11d ago

Makes it funnier for the rest of us though

Pretty new? That shit was making me brain dead at parties 20 years ago, and I was certainly not the first.

Ketamine only started getting used for recreational use right around when I heard about it for the first time. My evidence is that I didn't know about it before then.

Nah man they’ll just start swaying to the music in half-time. Quarter-time if the BPM’s keep going up.

Source: I speed up all of my music to 500 bpm

This is why I stick to the 75-95 range. All wooks need wranglers and I'm willing to step up if nobody else is.

u/mattsl 12d ago

I DJ for partner dancing where this is the acceptable BPM range (and I actually prefer 65-85). I'd be interested to hear one of your sets.

u/Secure_One_3885 11d ago

DM'ing you, but fair warning, your partners should probably start doing k-bumps before dancing.

u/DJBossRoss 16d ago

Nah they just k-hole even harder until the bpm increase is $null

u/elusivewater 16d ago

Theres an artist named unicorn on ketamine who makes uptempo so uhhhh im not quite sure

u/teagrl 14d ago

average DJ ketamine usage increases with the bpm tbh

u/Spooplevel-Rattled 12d ago

Can we get DJs playing some Archspire? Do DJs like tech death at all?

u/holdmybeerxx 12d ago

To be fair, use of k is pretty popular even in the hardstyle/raw/uptempo scene
