I don't like the title of this thread, the longer oyu go on life the more that you realise that there are more differences within a certain ethnic group than between different ethnic groups.

Anyway, I think it comes down to preferences within a group of people with similar interests. From my experience people often tend to listen to similar music to their friends and associates and liking a form of music often has as much to do with what that genre represents and the ideologies of the people that promote it.

i'm black i listen to trance

It'd be interesting to see how many of the black TA's (or all TA's actually) are gay, given the history of House.

i dont think music is race specific, maybe except for country. ha.

race has nothing to do with music tastes

Music is related to culture, and culture is related to race, so yes there is a correlation.

Trance isnt related to a culture tough.

Trance is addicting!

Perpetuous - The Sound of Goodbye (Above & Beyond Mix)

Blast from past.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't wanna be getting robbed in clubs and shit, come and shoot my club up will you!!!

black is wack!!!

but seriously, i think music culture comes with how you grow up with it. i grew up in europe so i got exposed to trance fairly quick. most blacks get exposed to RnB and Rap because that is their cultural music and heritage. of course there are always exceptions however you'd be surprised how many whites in the US don't listen to "techno". there are very few of us over here compared to the MTV teeny bopper pop-listening gooners.

agree with the above ^^^
depends on exposure, and how much you are getting it ..

but yes whites ==> guitars, blacks==>drums (why do you think so many TAs were high on Andain - Beautiful Things when it first came out .. all because of the guitar . )

i wouldn't say the pie is 90% white, 10% asian .. more like 75% white, 25% asian .. you go to california and virginia .. you will see a lot of asians into the edm more than rap .. 5 years ago, it was reverse, but now they're into the edm

but here's a suggestion .. instead of forcing them into trance, lead them to drum n bass (the closest to rap) .. then house, then trance .. it's either going to be one step and that's all, or the slow one-step-at-a-time process .. you can always introduce them to felix da housecat .. a lot of the "african americans" here are digging him right now ..

so were do us hispanics fit into the pic.

Interesting. Trance is nothing more than advanced Disco. Don't know how many blacks were into scene back in those days, but Rap wasn't invented then either.

one of the songs was astral pow-wow or cosmic pow-wow or some shit like that

you know, you are saying even stupider things every time you post....who are you to tell someone if they are a trance addict or not? the answer to your question: YES!!! and what is this about trance addicts not liking black people... how many trance addicts do you know that have said.."you know, i really don't like black people." In fact, I've known people who like trance to be some of the most open minded people i know. You seriously need to recheck your facts.

i should think that electric rock of the early 80s had as much to do with it. Disco is more of a house thing and there's alot of black house DJs - Carl Cox, Felix da Housecat, Jeff Mills, etc.

It might have to do with social issues i guess... its more inclined for darker races to listen to more urban jams and whiter people to listen to rock, but it really comes down to what your personal tastes lie in... if you have lived in an RnB life all the time then i guess thats what you're into...

Also comes down to how flexible' peoples own habits to listenin to other genres really are.


Im latin and i listen to mostly trance, but i also listen to latin music alot. It depends on the person. I wouldn't really say its gender or race related.

Originally posted by rooibos While I'm not flaming you, this thread is stupid, but also has a good point. The majority of trance fans are white. Though, look at drum and bass, hard-techno, or NL hardcore, house, hip hop theres lots of black DJ's and supporters, and its all electronic music. You're correct in one way, that trance attracts mostly white people, whereas other genres in electronic dance music attract blacks.

good point

True with Trance - electronic beats and probably in the later 80s, but no Rap going on then either. I can see where Trance got some roots, but the Rap sprung from some nonsinging fools from somewhere.

which takes me to my next point.
almost every black person i met thinks he can rap.
and if it's a girl she thinks she can sing.

this guy last time, was like, "you got to here me flow, cm'on man.
SPAGHETTI SPAGHETTI SPAGHETTI" lol

don't take the title personally..I just couldn't think of anything to say. As for preferences within a group of people, I understand and agree with what you're a saying. I just find the turnout of preferences to be sort of ironic
