I-dosing...

Ran accross this curious story this morning, never heard of such a thing.

Kids these days

They put on their headphones, drape a hood over their head and drift off into the world of ‘digital highs’.

Videos posted on YouTube show a young girl freaking out and leaping up in fear, a teenager shaking violently and a young boy in extreme distress.

Some of the comments are good:

When I started I-Dosing a year ago it was just for fun. I had an otherwise normal life. Fast forward to now... I've been layed off, I lost my car, and I I-Dose every chance I can get. To pay for my fix I rob unlocked cars and a couple of times prostituted myself, just for the iTunes money. I'm probably losing my apartment soon, but I don't care, all I need is my iPod and my headphones. Can't wait to iDose again...

I was at a local basketball court in Philadelphia and some friends and I were playing a game. A couple of guys came down the street and they were listening to headphones. They were talking crazy and started fighting. Turns out, they were "dosing." My mom was so upset she sent me to live with my aunt and uncle here in California.

Is this all so special? Under the right circumstances, the right song can have similar influences on me. I've known that for a long time now.

Best feeling ever, pretty much like the feeling you get when you're with good friends and you're just pouring in an endless supply of beer

(not drunkenness itself, as you obviously don't get drunk from listening to music, but that feeling nonetheless) There isn't any specific way of getting that feeling though, there's no way of telling how, when and why I get it

99% of the times I listen to Metal I don't get it, but then there's that 1%...

I don't go put anything over my head though, generally I just start headbanging at full speed and grab the nearest bottle of whiskey

Sounds like a bunch of teenagers trying to draw attention to themselves.
