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

If this is referring to the actual 'iDoser' then it isn't music, it's sound played at specific frequencies meant to induce various effects. I once tried it, like hell it worked though lol...

Maybe you're too old to hear the frequencies

Thats normal for teenagers, but this is just plain weird. I think were all too old to get this latest "craze"

neither have I, and I'm 19
But hell, I'm not exactly a member of the mainstream youth culture so that might make a difference

I may be going out on a limb here, but for some reason I think the daily fail is exaggerating things

You and me both. It sounded so stupid at first I thought it was a joke.

As an experiment, I decided to try it less than an hour ago. I lay upon my bed with my roommate's ipod and a relaxing warm towel over my entire face, and listened to various tracks. After several minutes, I did indeed experience something; the feeling of being a complete idiot. Thank God nobody was around to see me doing that.

Then again, I probably wasn't the best test subject for a number of reasons, one of which is above.

Well if nothing else it should be relatively harmless in the long term as opposed to some other 'escapes'.
