hmm what are demographics for trance listeners, not a lot of people i know listen to it and i am 20. A guy on my course likes it and he told me his dad who is like 50ish is a solid trance fan.

Originally posted by Dj Pluviose Are you sure about that? When I share this genre with people they will always complain that it is "too long, too complicated, sounds ugly, has no words (vocals), sounds weird, sounds scary" And that is with the majority of people who I show it to.

Make friends with people who aren't complete fucktards?

If they think pads in A minor played on Omnisphere is scary, then I'd love to see them listen to something like this;


Too long and sounds ugly I agree with 100%. But it's not complicated in any way.

I doubt there are many people under the age of 21 getting into trance anymore. The days of chart domination are long gone. Most of the trance around today is so corny I'm not surprised kids think it's a load of shit.

I genuinely meet more people these days who are into psy trance than the regular stuff. Girls especially seem to love it.

Bass music is what's popular here, and LMFAO style shit house.

Obviously dubstep, electro and house are the most popular things around, and drum 'n bass is getting very popular too. It's still a rarity to find anyone who likes trance, but when I do it's usually of the psychedelic variety. Students and hippy-bohemian types tend to enjoy it.

Above & Beyond seem to be really popular with college-age kids, but that's about the only trance that seems to have that reach.

Then again, as has been said, trance has never been the popular or cool one, at least in the US.

What do you mean by base music? The stuff Fitzgerald spins?
