OK, I am going to very breifly explain the theory(in laymens terms) and I will do so with very broad generalizations to compact this down to a page...
An introverted (quiet, withdrawn, anxious) person is such due to a physiological filter system being cranked all the way down, in otherwords, they recieve way too much info sometimes, leading to anxiety, withdrawn behaviors, so forth (sound familiar yet?) The more common defense from this is to either withdraw or to create (artists, ect.). An extroverted type is one whos filtering system is alittle too tight, they need more info to feel satisfied with their senses. These people tend to do exciting things like bungy jump in groups, be very outgoing, bubbly, listen to Ricky Martin, stuff like that.
Well, I am proposing that repetition is highly appealing to introverts because it is a perfect balance of incoming info, anything more, such as trance, would create anxiety, often resulting in hostility towards extreme info activity (notice the tendency for tech heads to repel against rave orientated stuff? introvert v. extrovert). I have coined a term, "toneshift". Toneshifting is where ultra-repetitive music takes on melody even though this apparant melody isnt really there, but yet some people hear it, some can even hear it in a 4/4 count of untuned highhats after awhile. The Swedes and Beyer have a perfect techno for this. Introverts hear this toneshift due to the fact that they feel no anxiety that s caused by unnecessary info such as words, breakdowns, drumrolls, and they tend to project the "natural music in their head" if you will, repetition allows them to not feel tension and allows them to feel in a sort of mental comfort zone. Its why an addition of one simple high hat can make some cry (introverts) while the extroverted ones look on in sheer boredom, toneshifting is a personality factored experience...
repetition and toneshifting to the introverted personality type appears to be the ultimate way of expression...
There are other angles I am researching, such as drug use between the two, intellect, stuff like that...
all in all, its very romantic to say it's a undefinable world, and perhaps it is with electronica. But I feel that with the structure and technology we are creating, we will become less and less unique as individuals in the sense we are used to, we may become, or perhaps already are, categorizable (i dont think this is bad BTW, despite my ludite sounding words)...
anyways, sorry if I clogged bandwidth, but ths list seems to be the best for dropping out ideas such as toneshifting and views of repetition...
