EDM: The Conspiracy Theory You Want To Hear About

Ok so this is crazy. I haven't even told you anything about this plot, and yet you would be extremely likely to believe I'm on drugs or something, which is a topic for another time... Anyway, everything you've every known is a lie...One could assume. To be honest I'm not sure what to make of this but here we go. You should probably sit down.

Electronic music is just a conspiracy to make sure people stay high, numb, disconnected from the world and constantly craving that next drop or order of wings. Now the world was first turned on to this beautiful theory by some internet person called Micky24242, and the awesome producer Hudson Mohawke turned us on to this fire.

Basically it all started with Elvis. People think of Elvis as some soft old school shit, nah that dude would have been on Jackass, he could have killed Keith Richards with his drug consumption, he probably would have created some competing company to Playboy had he lived long enough. The man was a savage, he was eccentric, he was a rock star. With all of this, teenagers were spawned, and so was teenage angst, and resentment of your parents. All this rebelliousness was simply too much to bear, and the root of it all was music. So what did the CIA do? Well, 2 CIA agents met 2 MI6 agents at a truck stop in Belize, they had beers and talked. These spooks thought that the fresh wave of adults, the first wave of these angsty teenagers, would be pretty unhappy with the world, so instead of changing the world, the CIA thought it best to change them.

To go about changing these teens, the CIA harnessed everything that makes those teenage years so fun: sex, drugs, and fandom. The plan was conceived. In order to eliminate any sense of teen revolution, the agencies had to harness it, creating a method for controlling hordes of youths. The infiltration was near total. The project was called Project Paradise and record labels, instrument makers, TV production houses, magazines and more were all paid huge amounts of money to propagate electronic music. Its aim was to create an environment where music and drugs go hand in hand.

Basically, the CIA are accused of creating club culture to keep people blinded and vegetated and seeking drugs or a high rather than answers or purpose. Considering how the goal was to create a scene where music and drugs go hand in hand, and now we have EDM festivals and shows which are trash unless you're rolling your face off, so I'd say if they did it, they succeeded.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
