And I like some dance music, it helps to be dancing however.

That's what it is!  Dance music is much better when you're dancing!  It's hard to sit and listen to dance music.  I wiggle in my chair when I'm listening to dance music.

You can dance to rock.

You just look real bad doing it. 

I always look bad doing it...

Well I like a lot of dance stuff, I was in college during the disco days and I had a good time at the clubs back then.  City Lights was the big gay disco in Des Moines where I was in college, and when I was home I went to Dance Your Ass Off in the City.  And I like the techno/electronica/house/chill and all that, but I have to be in the right mood, but so too for cool jazz, or a string trio - sometimes they are not the thing to listen to either. 

I mean that you can't just sit there and give some polite applause when its done while saying "Well Worthington, those people did rock the house on the ones and twos I must say."  You have to get up and move.  If it allows you to sit, then its not good dance music for you. 

I prefer music that goes into my cerebellum and causes my mind to relax while simultaneously grasping all that there is to grasp.

Yeah, that's the way the Dead used to make me feel.  Turned out it was not the band, just the drugs I was doing while I listened to them.

Someone should invent instruments that create music that affects the human brain like drugs.

Music has a lot of well researched effects on behavior, so in some ways it is like a drug.  No doubt when coupled with volume (sound pressure) and lighting it can get pretty hypnotic, or so we aim for.  The real good dance stuff is like that, a certain grouping of sounds, at a set pressure, with lighting going with the rhythm and the melody, and if your throwing your body into it too by dancing hard, its just like a drug.
