why is low bpm better than high bpm?

Back in the day – a couple of lifetimes ago – we danced to 120 BPM and it didn’t feel slow. The music was as dumb and gay as “Glee” – but we enjoyed it and danced away through the night. It was called “Eurodisco” back then. Now they made it more blippy and pretentious and renamed it into “progressive”. And now half of the world keeps bitching about how slow it is (although I am yet to see a 120 BPM "progressive" track).

My point is: “progressive” seems slow because everything else inched up in tempo and left it behind. Back in the 80’s, 120 BPM was a disco norm. If you wanted anything faster, you’d have to resurrect American 144 BPM tunes. Yeah, I know there was plenty of fast-paced music in the 80’s. But Sex Pistols and Iron Maiden rarely made it under a disco ball.

As for high-paced festivals: how is it going to prove or even demonstrate anything. I’ve seen massive marathons too. Thousands of people pushing those 40 km. When you see this, it gives you an illusion that the whole Earth is into this masochistic activity. But is it really?

for me 150 is one of favoured just because it is easy to calculate and i'm lazy and it sounds good i don't say that slow can't realy be harsh / intelegent/ experimental music like there is some happy/groovy/funky in the fast area
but cardinals has to explain me" why?!?"

love you all you are open minded people

all that "high bpm limits you" is just rude lies

and next experiment will be 149.9 just to be at safe ground

what a bunch of crap
u should see the vibes in some good festivals like psycrodelica for example, its 4-5 days of continous hard core forest style dark sounds, and the dance floors are packes full, with happy people dancing full power and giving the best vibes, its bullshit to say, the dance floor suffers if u play over 150, a very specific vibe is created , i call it wool gathering, happens around 154 bpm, when the bass/kick remain in the suncouncious, and the leads at the front, ahnds moving , collecting wool! and these states of dancing generally last for 6-8 hrs, not a couple, even tho i personally have started to produce low bpm tracks, cause they have more time and space and depth/wideness, faster bpms r for when u r peaking on ur trip, it is all a matter of personal taste, but no cannot diss anyone for his taste, and back in the day, before old skool, there was no school! i aint talking 50,60's 70's or 80's... i'm talking neanderthals, they used to be parting, banging rocks and sticks, on a sense of communal harmonoius movements inducing communal bonding within the tribes,,140'ish bpm is generally reccommended because, when a human being is dancing, and his heart rate reaches approximately 140 bpm it is easily sustained comfortably by the body for a while, higher bpm's do tend to disrupt the physical capabities after a certain amout of excersion over time.i am not too certain about the details, but 140'ish bpm has 2-3 well defined meanings, why the human being is so comfortable moving at it.
