Lim, Megan S. C., et al. "A Cross-Sectional Survey Of Young People Attending A Music Festival: Associations Between Drug Use And Musical Preference." Drug & Alcohol Review 27.4 (2008): 439-441. SPORTDiscus with Full Text. Web. 14 Mar. 2015.
My fourth source is a survey that takes genres of music and compares it with drug use. It talks about how people who attend concerts and music festivals are more likely to partake in the use of illicit drugs. More specifically, EDM was associated with the most common use of drugs, especially ecstasy. Other genres have also been associated with certain drugs. For example, rap music is linked to crack, metal is linked to alcohol and marijuana, and pop music is linked to no specific drug at all. Survey results showed that people whose taste in music is EDM or rap are at a higher risk for illicit drug use.
This source was not as helpful as the other two because I’m still question why ecstasy is so popular when going to concerts or music festivals. But this article was a survey that actually interviewed people at a music festival in Australia. The reason I used this source was because EDM is just as popular in Australia as it is in America and there are tons of EDM music festivals in both America and Australia. This source was very different from my other sources too because it had concepts and ideas but it also had facts that they could prove.
This makes me think that because EDM is associated with drug use, why is there an increase in the amount of music festivals in recent years! For my next source, I want to know why there are so many festivals if the use of ecstasy is so bad. But I still really want to find an answer to my original question as to how is EDM is related to the culture of music festivals, concerts, and raves.
