I still listen to trance. Well, again. I lost a couple of years cause I somehow started to listen to cheesy dance, and last year, jumpstyle. But since the beginning of this year I'm more into trance again, and I missed it

I dont know why but the thread title reminds me of this song:-

Am I original?
Yeah
Am I the only one?
Yeah
Am I sexual?
Yeah
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now

Everybody
Yeah
Rock your body
Yeah
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
Alright

No, you're not the only one. There are plenty of NYTAs who started out, like I did, as Armin and PvD whores, but who no longer follow trance as much.

Armin used to be my #1 DJ and absolute favorite. Now I mostly listen to minimal and techno.

I'm doing my best not to become a minimal snob though. I've seen that happen to quite a few people. I like minimal/techno but I don't bash the other genres because all of it can be criticized.

Trance is too formulaic and lacks substance.
Electro is too Kitschy.
Minimal is pretentious; fashion > function.
Techno is too dismal and depressing.
etc, etc..

I take trance in small doses now. It's fun music, but not challenging enough for me to be into like I used to..

good to know
thx for speaking up

I used too a lot, but lately I just listen to DnB.
I also posted here back when I was a TA. Came back because I'm bored and I like the board layout.

I moved onto progressive, dnb, breaks, and everything a while ago. If I listen to trance, it's most likely progressive trance. None of the Ministry of Sound stuff. Hardly listen to state of trance anymore.

I still listen to trance because I am still a moody bitch (always have been). But if I listen to stuff like Enya I'll fall asleep. So I need an aesthetically pleasing melody with rhythm to keep me moving. Trance does the trick.
