Philosophy of Dance Music

At a small dance party tonight it occurred to me that dance music promotes a specific philosophy. Many of the songs on the play list tonight encompassed lines such as, "Just dance baby! It will be alright! I'll keep you company through the lonely night!" Dancing solves all your problems, and dance music not only provides the beat but also the ideology for dancing. It encourages you to get outside yourself because on the outside your problems don't seem so bad. It's easy to get absorbed in the music and the rhythm. Dance music demands both the soul and the body. The one finds agreement with the carefree philosophy, and the other participates--physically--in a few moments of brief total indoctrination.
