There's a huge variety of electronic music styles. I'd really recommend trying some without the substances. Maybe the extremes are your thing? Or the highly melodic euphoric ones? Or dark stuff? Etc..

The nice thing if you find something is that it's also sustainable - as in: can do this for the rest of your life - which at least for me is definitely not the case with mdma.

Well, I'm a lifelong Metal fan. I like, for example, Goa Trance well enough, but I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy just listening to EDM for pleasure the way I can with say, Technical Death Metal.

I get that completely. I hardly ever just listen to any EDM. Technical death metal on the other hand I probably enjoy more listening to at home than going to shows because often the sound quality at shows is just never as good.

But I was talking about partying: there's a fair share of EDM I can party to without any drugs. Goa trance is the main one btw. And I still get the feeling of connection with the rest of the crowd.
