very true, i was just gonna comment on that.

it's so true about having to be versatile aronud here (upper midwest) to keep people in the clubs. I remember one night going to a decent club and it just so happened they decided to drop into a house set shortly after the arrival. From one song to the next I'm just hoping he'd be ballsy enough to drop something like tic-toc (magik music) or something like that.. one of those tunes that kinda' skirts the edge between house and trance. Closest I got were a two anthems. I was really disappointed. My buddy that used to dj at a local club in this town has dropped trance tunes in a house set and people didn't just go running off the floor, if people would take a chance, sometimes it'll work out.

Anyhow, as for the actual topic at hand, yeah it's more hated here in america. The most mindblowing comment I ever heard is some girls complaining about "techno" because "you can't dance to it." To this day, that one still boggles my mind (and this happened over half a year ago). There is one thing that I'm grateful for though living here. It keeps my options open, and I learned to love all styles of trance, not just one main type, and have grown to really like techno, and not mind (some) house, and even tolerate (sometimes even like) anthems/cheese and even not mind some more jungle and drum and bassy type stuff. I kinda' doubt I'd have been that open minded in other environments.

Originally posted by VaNFeCto Dude u have a similar problem to what we have down here although yours seems a bit worse. You have to realize your city may not be ready, hell maybe even your state isnt ready for the music. Theres really nothing you can do unless you take the mad challenge of being a pioneer in your region or you can always move. Down here no ones ready for REAL TRANCE, they want to hear is Sash Dj Encore and britney spears remixes so i feel your pain brother!!!

Honestly I'd say that we all have a similar problem...........and its that we all live in the United States of America


Cuz lets face it, there really isnt a scene here like there is in the UK, germany, holland etc.

Hopefully one day that will all change for us, but it will probably be awhile........oh well one can always dream right?

Originally posted by cheesenip Why do so many people hate hiphop?

Now im not saying all hip hop is bad, but there are rappers and people out there making bad names and whatnot,, hip hop artist create bad names for themselves this genre is full of killings and charges, and feuding, and hate and drugs etc. etc. not to mention "bling bling" money throwing, women degrading ETC, ETC, who the fuck wants to see that crap? The list can go on & on...., im not saying all hip hop artists are bad, but there are some in that crowd that just pull the others down way under ground, and out of the respect that people once had for such a breakthrough genre of music.

consider us the privileged few. it sucks really that you live in such an area where trance isn't accepted as the top 40 shit. keep trying man

Personally I like it how most people don't listen to trance. When I used to listen to hip-hop and alternative a while back I would get so sick of all the songs that I used to like because they would get so overplayed on the radio. Then you got a whole crapload of posers who are into it simply to be cool and don't even know anything about the music they listen to. With trance you have to work to get your music and you acquire a true appreciation for it. All the posers are weeded out because it truly requires passion to continually get new music.

If anything I WANT there to be less people listening to trance hehe. That way I could get more dancing space at clubs. Although obviously I still want enough people to listen to it so that the clubs make money and book awesome DJs!

hey man!!! I'm on spins too, I saw the thred, muahahahha, omg I cant believe you post here too, wow this is the millionth thred like this

tell me next time u play near raleigh or the triad area. I'll bring a couple friends, we'll be the only ones on the dance floor for ya

It's true that trance probably does have a bad rep, but it seems to me like some people *gas* really dont like trance, and theres nothing wrong with that.

Hey, When you make joke of Drum and Bass you make joke of me!

"hey what kinda music u listen to"
'trance'
"dont u have to be a drug addict for that?"


well ive pretty much started to ignore are ppl's opinions, truthfully i can listen to anything for a little while, even the radio, but after like 10 min or so its just boring. ofcourse there are other who are clueless and dont give trance a chance.

i was at work the other day and someones like 'i listen to trance' ..oh cool u see tiesto 'ya it was ok i guess' hey u got anything to listen to *busts out i think at LEAST 30 cds with nothing but alice dj/sandstorm/buncha other garabage...lol i just turned on radio after that

I love it when people talk about trance being "commercialized". All I have to say is come to the U.S. and visit the Midwest. Hardly anyone I know has ever heard of "Sandstorm". And those who have are DJ's and hardcore club types. There is NO trance music here at all. You go to a club - expect hip hop or house, cuz that's the extent of it.

On the bright side, people consider me to be "alternative" because I like trance. It's my own little thing and I kind of like it that way. I get little criticism because nobody's ever heard my music.


What I do hate though, is when you come across the occasional person who does know something about the scene and tells you that "trance is out" and that I should be listening to (fill in the blank). Now, I can deal with people's tastes whether they like Britney or the Baha Men, assuming that they actually like the stuff. But I HATE when people only like something because it's trendy. I mean, come on... I'm not going to stop listening to trance just because Mixmag says that it's "out" Give me a break!!

see why do ppl care what others think of trance, let them bash trance....or simply tell them off...your choice. But who the fuck cares what others think of your music, hell listen to it anyway...play it loud as hell and move on with life.

i agree. There are many people out there who are into different types of music. Who cares if people don't like the music you listen to, it's not like you're making them listen to it. I read posts where people on this site don't like the "trance haters" but then go around and say hiphop sucks or pop sucks it goes both ways you know.

I kinda like the way that trance is not popular in where we live today. We're unique people living in our respective cities. We listen to music that hardly anyone within a 20 mile radius listens to cuz we're special in our own way. We're mysterious and I personally think that's cool. Foregt everyone else.

Trance is a mental thing. I like trance cuz out of all the other things that I ever listened to, I have to listen to a lot of words to understand music. Trance is more of a journey thing. It somehow organizes my life in the weirdest way. I vision things through trance music. Without it I'm lost.

I admit when I first heard trance I thought to myself, "What is this piece of junk that plays continuous beats over and over again." I honestly don't know why I gave it a chance, but I'm glad I did. Trance is the only thing I play. I play it when I'm on-line, play it when I eat, play it when I go to school, play it on the way back, and even play it in my sleep. People around me ask, have you heard the new Eminem, like I'm supposed to know what their talking about.

Sometimes I wish I could share trance to people around me, but we all know that's not gonna happen cuz trance is given a bad rap. (i.g.- It has repetitive beats, it should be played only at a club, only at night, only when you're messed up, etc). I'm pretty sure that alot of people listen and like trance to a certain extent but don't want to express themselves because of the negativity that it's been given. To me trance is not dead, it's just mistakenly informed.

I'm always glad to share my thoughts to trance lovers @ tranceaddict and I hope this site stays alive forever. It is this site that got me to prefer DJ's like Armin, Ferry, PvD, Tiesto and many more. I honestly don't know where I'd be without this site. Glad to be here. Keep on Trancin. Peace to you all.

just one thing to say : I LOVE TRANCE
and I will be listening to trance as long as I'll be alive

In France there isn't any trance scene or trance clubs, it's really sad but I'll resist, whatever people can say about trance

Why are there so many genre haters out there?

ALL of my mates dislike trance, the main criticism being that it is too repetitive and boring. They believe that there is no skill involved in 'making a track sat at a computer' and feel no emotions from the music at all. Even absolute classics rarely provoke a positive response!

Typically there are some that like the cheesy stuff and there are a couple that like anything hard, fast or generally mental. But they're complete metal whores! They pretend to like my own productions though

Still, I suppose I can't blame them for not liking trance. I personally hate metal with a passion - it seems like every song is a mish-mash of distortion, random chords and screaming!

Sorry, this was a bit of a lame rant.

It's funny. I say I listen to trance and I hear techno sucks or dance sucks. I tell them it's not the same thing but they claim it is but when I say name a song then I hear Castles In The Sky and Sandstorm. Not that these songs aren't good (were good actually, when they weren't overplayed to s#it) but all they hear is the radio mixes and the crap remixes they feel like playing on the radio. Everyone hates something and theres nothing you can do about it.



There are haters everywhere deal with it.

some people cant handle the emotions that one gets out of this music... alot of it is intense to first timers... unless they can hear it in the correct setting, i think a lot of people get turned off.. i also often hear that it is to uplifting or not very masculine from guys... anyways, most of the people i show trance to like it a lot... give it time... its still relatively new

Because they didn't understand the trance music emotions. they arent trancers or tranceaddicts.

You know it's ironic, I was at work today, and one of my coworkers turns on the radio to hear a weekly show and they were playing some drum & bass, and he said this techno music is like cheating, using all programmed music.

Well I never liked DnB either, but that didn't stop me from telling him he's a hypocrite cause a lot of the rap music he listens to is all programmed beats & loops and such. I dont mind people who dont like electronic music, but hypocrazy bothers me.

That was sort of what my coworker said, but he's too ignorant that he doesn't realize that a bunch of the music he listens to is produced on a computer, samplers, and electronic gear.
