Talk:psychedelic circus

The plural is broken, but I'm not sure how to fix the template. Also I'm not convinced this has any kind of fixed meaning. Kappa 16:02, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I created this entry for its historic significance. Its meaning may indeed be fading, but in the 60s it was certainly a set phrase/catch phrase/proper noun in reference to any acid house. The ambiguous nature of the subject probably lends to the ambiguous general usage - but that is even more reason to have a fixed meaning in a dictionary definition...so that metaphoric usages can be interpreted in the correct context.

Considering this decade's relative crackdown on LSD, and the subsequent replacement by the now-popular crytal meth, heroin (much more popular now) and crack, each of which are obviously more harmful to society in general, having the historic reference seems linguistically important. I was surprised to find this spelling, when googling it though. I had always thought it was psychadelic circus (another play on the spelling, from the pronunciation.)

I do wonder though, would it be at all useful to have all the terms listed at the above article entered here? If entered, should they all just refrence the Wikipedia article? --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The spelling you are thinking of is probably psychaedelic. Equinox ◑ 21:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
