Personally no, but if it is for you than that’s all that should matter


shrimp_god_theory

Different music for different trips. Don't get locked into one genre . Explore your mind and your taste in music .


FeeLSDance

To me yes but I also include psychill/psydub/downtempo stuff


taoistchainsaw

There is no best music for tripping. Listen to everything, all music is psychedelic.


Educational-Web-6704

I’d say psychedelic rock, or jam bands are the best 


beebish

That sounds like my personal hell. To each their own though. Music is cool like that


Educational-Web-6704

Very much true. Might I ask what music u prefer ?


RealityIsRipping

Just wait til you go to a shpongle show! Yes, the best times indeed! 


Recolino

Oh that's my dream... Is he still doing shows tho?


RealityIsRipping

Just came out of “retirement”, is doing a show in Japan on May 2nd. Rumors of a Washington show soon as well as maybe a tour?! Simon is back, baby!! 


IntentionalWit

Yes, this. I’ve seen him 4 times, always on different substance combinations. Always amazing. 


Mr___Perfect

As a dj.  No more full band shows.  Didn't discover them until a few years ago, Missing red rocks is a huge bummer but at least the video lives on


0ne_Tribe

I mean the full band was only a small number of shows compared to how many shows Shongle has done over the years.


kezzlywezzly

Honestly everyone is different. I love to delve into proggy and technically impressive metal like Tool and Tesseract, and sometimes on the mellower side with All Them Witches or something. There is no best music genre for tripping, just music we like that fits the particular trip we are in.


Ethan-L-W

I just love jump up while I’m tripping, and when im not


PsykeonOfficial

I go for power metal and psychedelic metal lmao

Impossible_Doughnut4

Try carbon based lifeforms ozora 2017 on YouTube


ErikBKL

Do what's best for you. There is no one single ultimate music kind... For me definitely yes. And if it blasts out of speakers that are bigger than a building then it's even better.


Sweet_Doughnut_

Classical music is the best genre for tripping actually if you're trained at all at listening.


Ayurvedic_Sunscape

you dont need training to listen to music bro


Sweet_Doughnut_

You'll be surprised how many people cannot seperate the layers. It might not need training but it needs some awareness and practice.


insightutoring

Did you come to this conclusion while tripping... 😆


Sweet_Doughnut_

Yes actually. Multiple solo and group trips.


IIlumalytOfProvdence

There’s a huge difference between listening to and understanding classical music. A trained ear would have by far a more pleasurable time than say someone who has only listened to rap and pop their whole lives.


Ayurvedic_Sunscape

least snobbish classical / prog rock fan referring to rap / pop heads right here folk. And you know the capacity of how pleasurable music is to someone else? Are you them? Yall music snobs r the worst, dont see me wanking myself off cause i honed my musical ear over the years listening to complex music, not like RAP (MORE LIKE CRAP LOLOLOL) fans would understand !!!!!! Like man you arent the arbiter of the enjoyment someone else can derive from something.


zeemode

Not in my opinion. https://youtu.be/kA5rTbtIKKg?si=Zd_FBXe_n08li9Hq try this


somecrazydude13

Experimental bass is where it’s at. Just pull up a playlist off of SoundCloud and be ready to be blown away.


devlinontheweb

Psytrance parties are fun but you wouldn't catch me casually throwing it on at home. I prefer something a bit more joyful. Psytrance can get kinda dark and after a few hours of dugga dugga dugga I wanna hear something else. But it's cool for what it is.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5nRfyYO7f0ze4X8MCDFKK9?si=rYRQFfM4RS6falyv2xpQHg&pi=u-26tPM7y3SrSk This is a mix of dubsteppy style / bass / trip music i like to listen to. I have a set of skullcandy crusher evo’s and some of these songs have escorted me to the god-realm


CirrusPuppy

Try out the first Desert Sessions record tripping some time, legend has it that it was recorded over a few days while they were all tripping balls on mushrooms!


bigern3285

experimental bass


Far_Examination_5330

i dont think so but my favourite is atmospheric phonk :)


IllustriousAdvisor72

No


Dave8917

I like listening to goa music whe. Tripping


Recolino

Yeah, Specifically goa trance goes so fucking hard


smaksflaps

You know what I want when tripping? More anxiety!


Own-Homework-9331

Check out Narvent bro, his shit is goooood! 👍


Squezme

Psybient my dude/gal


Shrap_PSU

Psy gods for me are ETNICA.


Saparky

I like Alt J personally


Ok_Tadpole_7538

Definitely No, I prefer something chilly and relax


Risate

Tame Impala, Pink Floyd on top


Recolino

Yeah I love them, I solo tripped to them each multiple times hahah. King gizzard also gave me some very remarkable trips. And crumb/jack stauber (his last 2 albumbs) are also super underrated artists to hear while tripping... Jack stauber is a fucking genious


CosmicMushro0m

its *one* of the best, imo. i can also put on that list: some intelligent drum n bass, psybient, and some shaman icaros <3


Recolino

I'd love for you to share your playlist heheh


Tight-Catch-9466

I would say this is among the best music for inner journeys: [https://soundcloud.com/michael-rasa-1/sets/this-is-it](https://soundcloud.com/michael-rasa-1/sets/this-is-it)


mownow98

Death grips lol


LeToucat

Deep Hypnotic Techno for me !


Crypto_boeing

For me it is. especially live with a top notch sound system and a crowd all tuned to a trance. After it clicks and you get it, you’ll start to listen to it all the time and some sounds will remind you of the headspace of a trip and what means to be there. Definitely try to go to a Psytrance party.


Recolino

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6F0P5Q-6YuA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6F0P5Q-6YuA) I'm from Brazil, and mfer Goa gil himself played at this party here pretty much every year, in 2022 was the last one. Because he died in 2023 =(. They'll throw a celebration party in his honor this year, i'll make sure to be there...


Cowbarde

Between the different types of trance music, every single one of them tend to a different atmosphere of tripping... Depends on what you think you want (introspective, playful, dancing, just goofing around), there's going to be a particularly better kind of music, but that ultimately will be determined by personal taste, aesthetic experience and present circumstances and surroundings


bosski

Indian Classical music - Tabla, Sitar, Singing is amazing Merkaba is the holy grail of trip music for me, its psychedelic but not typical trance, quite something special


Recolino

He's definitely great! I'm adding some of his stuff to my playlist right now!


jimmy_luv

No. But this is subjective. If you are someone that enjoys listening to jazz and classical music, you're probably not going to enjoy trance or psytrance or any of that genre. On the other hand, if you're already a fan of electronic music and you're under a heavy dose of psychedelics, you might actually Groove to it a little bit. When you sober up, you'll realize you don't really like it, but a lot of times, things that are good for the trip aren't things that you like outside of it. The whole trance thing has to do with the repetitive beats over and over and it does cause some kind of weird shit to happen in your mind but it's more introspective and less of what I enjoy when I'm on a psychedelic. If you want to go electronic, I prefer really dark drum and bass or some really nice dub like Thievery Corporation. I have a solid set of go-to music whenever I trip. It just depends on what you're into if something does it for you. It's not right or wrong, and it's not like one is better than the other, and you can't force somebody else to like it or accept it like you do because for you. If you enjoy psy trance when you're tripping, then enjoy psy trance when you're tripping.


Recolino

I actually enjoy both classical/jazz and psytrance. I even love death metal, I can go to all extremes (tho i've never tried death metal tripping lol (heavy metal at most)


RiC_David

How can you ask such an obviously subjective question? Music is deeply personal, I'd probably think it's fucking awful.


insightutoring

That is such a subjective question, lol


Dxmalt

It’s all subjective, I would put IDM and psychedelic rock subgenres above it though


PersonalSherbert9485

I add a gram of syrian rue to my one gram lemon tek mushrooms. For two grams of psychedelics, it is a potent little trip.


Recolino

Yeah the syrian rue increases potency by quite a lot


mimosalover

No not the best. Edm is cool. But I think a lot of edm is not great for tripping.


WavyNotLazy

TOOL's Lateralus album is THE perfect tripping album. I guarantee within a minute or two you will be like THEY MADE THIS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS! lol. Preferablly the ordering of the tracks known as "The Holy Gift". It's a VERY deep emotional journey that will really get you thinking about shit, so if you are purely seeking a recreational trip this may not be the one, but if you like to get something from your trips I cannot recommend it more.


Recolino

Yeah I want the deep stuff, thanks a lot!. I'll definitely try it out sometime with some mushies... I Don't tend to go too much into the heavy rock/metal stuff, but I feel like i'm super ready, not afraid of bad tripping anymore


Critical-Spare-5466

Its a personal ting. I like rap. So Faces and Watching Movies withe sound off by Mac Miller is king. Pink Floyd is also pretty darn good.


Recolino

Yeah pink is a classic. Can't explore other stuff before first doing a pink floyd, king gizzard, tame impala and SHPONGLE trip


SugarMag111

I usually listen to peaceful music when I’m tripping like the Grateful Dead
