Psytrance. I had a bad experience at a psytrance club night as a student where I'd uh consumed my entertainment from the evening at halls of residence, but then my mate gave me another for free at the night. Wasn't feeling too intoxicated before that so thought, "ah fuck it." This, dear reader, was a mistake.

I made it about 2.5 hours before begging my gf (now wife) to leave because I thought the whooshing effects they use on the tracks was repeatedly saying my name.

After leaving the nightclub I instantly felt better and the rest of the evening was ok. Just psytrance has never sounded the same.

As an aside, weird crowd there, like lots of millenials like myself who seemed to be neurodiverse or emotionally troubled in some way - including the scantily clad young women. But then there were also older men there who were a mixture of drug dealers and losers who appeared to be out for drugged up teen genitalia of some one kind or the other. This was 13-14 years ago and I noticed a similar phenomenon at house music clubs jn the intervening years (don't go clubbing much these days lol).
