usually pillhead music is stereotyped as simple, lacking subtlety or nuance.
however if we take some cannonical pilhead genres, hard techno, hard techy dnb, gabba, hard house, hoovers and hard trance, of course ardkore and darkside, then the picture looks a bit different. we aren't talking about peace and love here but the euphoria of being in a warzone. using mdma as it was originally intended, but not to get its pseudo-mystical spiritual effects.
so maybe the mdma as peace and love was a colonial imposition from conservative soulboys and balearic Claires and lauras? as the 808 state bloke said, maybe the most revolutionary thing to do is solidarise with the sharons and tracys? maybe craner has been sneaking his girlfriends ideals into the dissensus framework? Maybe it is time for a great purge? maybe dubstep should have merged with gabba and hardcore acid to create the most revolutionary pillhead music of all time?
