To me, "real trance music" means a special sort of EDM that's provided with these two elements:
A constant 4/4 kick
A flowing bassline, that's not funky enough to be a house bassline, nor too static to be a techno bassline.
Everything else is secondary to me. Nothing you will add onto your track will necessarily make it more, less, real or not trance. Which means "real trance" will be anything ranging from this:
to this...
to this!
These three tracks sound so different from each other, yet the few similarities they have in common, are exactly those traits that makes trance trance. The differences are what we have sub-genres for.
But even though the spectrum of trance music is already wide, there are still unexplored fields in what trance music can be. There are so many future treasures we can unviel by further developing the elements of atmosphere, subtlety, transitions, sound morphing, surprise, harmony etcetera. All other types of music benefits from doing so too, but trance music has the potential to be the same musical role model to these genres as classical, jazz and even progressive rock music has been.
That was off topic, though.

GENUINE. UNIQUE. VARIETY.
Now everything sounds so half assed and follows a certain formula...feels like you're listening to the same track over and over.

There is some real trance out there, the problem is you have to sift through and filter out all the copycats, generic sounding garbage, tracks that go no where, producers that make all their songs sound the same, overproduced tracks, tracks that are too repetitive, vocal cheese, and then you are left with real trance. By that time there isn't much left. Real trance is rare.

LOL This must be your personal opinion as I totally disagree if this would be your definition of 'real trance'.
People want tracks to be similar sounding.

myself on the other hand prefer innovative tracks like euphoric, but distinguish between innovative and weird some music is just weird , i like some artists that have similar producing style to others, but that at the same time all the tracks have clear differences with the previous (having some links too) if they produce several genres is fantastic.
For me listening to people whose tracks are always the same with different melody (and in most cases the melody is very similar) is so boring, yet i recognize some of the producers i like sometimes fall into this but not as a rule.
And the worst thing in trance and that happens more often is that you can list 100 producers that sound like another one. In particular the Anjunabeats style is being copied to exhaustion, the only explanation is that is the easiest and cheesiest (marketable) style.

Well I guess if you survived Euro Dance and Happy Hardcore you're not that sensitive any more and some small things different already can give you a good feeling about a track.
I don't like when e.g. a Faithless or Chicane track lacks their typical sound, which is only there if a track is partly similar to earlier tracks.

Cant believe someone can say that. How could you listen to two hours of the same sound it defies logic. Where can a DJ take a set that sounds the exact same?
