Stoner MusicStoner music is an informal or slang term for any of several types of music listened to, or perceived to be listened to, by "stoners," or people under the influence of drugs, typically marijuana. The genres of music this can include, can vary quite widely, depending on the listener's drug of choice and mood. Stoners seem to show a preference for music that is stimulating, trance inducing, euphoric, calming, grating, strange, comfortable... in short, any music which might produce the same effect as, or enhance the effect of, using one's drug of choice. Some listeners consider Stoner music to be their 'drug of choice', in fact, some stoners have gone so far as to discontinue use of drugs, preferring their 'music of choice' to drugs. A Prime example would be the Wharf Rats, a subset of deadheads, who gather in groups at Grateful Dead, The Dead, and Phish concerts, as an affinity group to support each other in their sobriety.
