-- Is liking Trance an embarassment where you are???
Pages (8): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 8 »
My friends listen to many different kind of music. I love trance without being embarassed.
in many ways i feel this is a good thing, i wouldnt want trance getting more popular or commercial than it is
Well when people ask you what your genre of music is and you say trance, most of the time they have no idea what it is, or they say "oh yeah, techno". and then you have to argue with them thats its not techno and not even near it, but anyways i dont think trance will be as big as hip-hop is these days. And i never get embarrassed when i say i love trance, because this is who i am, if you dont like it then thats your problem. And most of the people that are familiar with the EDM scene, i dont give a shit what they say because i cant really image myslef listening to DnB, Hardstyle or breaks. Bottom line is i dont care what people think of Trance.
i've never even given this a thought. who cares what other people think.

The fun thing is to go to people you hate and ask them "do you like trance?" and they say "no!" then you say "damn thats good news!"
Looks pretty embarassing to me.
i remmember this fat prick telling me that Chicane(not ian van dahl or something) sux but Metallica and the new infected Mushroom album is good,fucking piece of shit.

I love trance music and would never be embarrassed to play this kind of music. The music scene here in Central Florida is Hip-Hop, Rap, & RnB. It's amazing the amount of people that embrace this Hip Hop and Rap specifically just because it's the "cool" thing to do. The only thing I get out this music is the girls shakin' it at the clubs. It's also crazy how many people associate trance with techno. This gets to me since trance is not techno. Plus they tell me it's not dance-able? Well, I'll give'em that one since I haven't seen a proper way to dance to trance music other than the jumping and bopping of the head.
definitely not an embarassment but its not as popular as compared to clubs which play solely rnb 
so trancers are the minority here

Whatever mate...there's only one reason why everyone is here. At some point in their musical taste, they were into trance. Whether they did a google search for "trance" or knew someone on here...one thing brought them to TA...and that was trance.
My tastes have changed. I'm a prog whore admittedly. But ************, I love trance. I may listen to more prog then trance now. But I'll never forget why I came here. And all this elitists and mctrance whores came here for the same reason...
So stop hating...

i seriously dont give a SHIT about what other people thinks about something i like. But nowdays i dont like trance all that much.. not even alittle.
Hell NO!!!
There's something trance and other EDM does for me that nothing else can, not just at parties, but any time of the day. These are feelings of great joy,(sounds cheesy but no joke). So embarassed I'm not, I'll blast EDM proudly hoping all will hear, especially TRANCE. The emotions, energy, and power are nothing to be embarassed about and those who think otherwise, just don't get it.
Yeah, here in central florida it's all about the damn breaks. But I couldn't care less, I proudly walk into my record store and walk right up to the trance wall. It makes me diffrent than all the rest.
There shouldn't be anything embarassing about listening to any genre of music. It's the simple minded people that have stupid things to say about it.
In Portland gay house rulz all. Well in the dj store (Platinum) it's something like 70% house 20% hip-hop 10% trance/techno/tech-trance/everything else lol. Which may be somewhat normal. But I know the same shop in Seattle is maybe almost a quarter trance.
Anyway, I know the 1337 snobs that work there give the evil-eye to those that approach the dusty 4 foot section, but I don't really give a crap. I just wish the store was more like 80% trance (preferable prog) like stores in Holland/Sweden/Amsterdamn etc.. (are they like that? IDK) Oh well.
Other than that I don't really hang out with people that dis trance, they aint really worth the effort.
Well I rarely listen to trance now, if ever, but I get what you're saying.
The people that know me know better than to argue with me, and the people that don't know me that try to make those generalizations just get laughed at by me.
Ask yourself this though: are you listening to the music because you enjoy it, or because you enjoy the status it has?

Most people I know just say, "Hey, cool, whatever," when I tell them that I listen to Electronic Music. There are the occasional few that go, "Oh, like that Techno stuff? That's so repetitive," yet I don't get flustered nor upset about it. I like what I like, they like what they like. As long as I'm happy, I could care less what others think about EDM.
I hate all that bloody criticism about my music ...
EDIT: To the topic - NO, I never was and never will be embarassed that I listen to electronic music. I tell everybody about the kind of music I listen to, and I have already made a bunch of people like some it in some contexts. I am a very proud electronic music fan! All those dissers and jealous people who think their type of music is better than EDM can kiss my hairy yellow arse right in the crack!
