They often have the names of the drugs whose effects they are trying to duplicate: The tracks will be labelled LSD, cocaine, alcohol ,or something scary like The Gates of Hades.

The Internet is still awash in i-doses, though, and the videos of the fun people are having with them, twisting and moaning. But then no one could find any real drugs being sold anywhere, and we left the kids alone again. The police chiefs responded that, well, it was still dangerous because the sites that sold them were also leading teens to sites where they could buy real illegal drugs - that i-dosing was a gateway, as it were.
The media got hold of this and trotted out some scientists who said no, there was no evidence to say that listening to certain tones actually alters your brain function. These came to the attention of a few small-town police chiefs and high-school principals, who sent messages out to parents telling them to look out for the symptoms of intoxication in teens who had been spending too long on the Internet. media alarm over "i-dosing" - a teenage fad involving listening to trippy electronic sounds over the Internet and pretending to hallucinate from it - was as brief as these things get: It lasted a couple of weeks, in July, and, being as obviously ridiculous as it was, died immediately and completely.įirst someone noticed a whole bunch of YouTube videos of teens experiencing these sounds on headphones and breathing fast and crying as if they were really tripping.
