I started listening to it because my friend liked it and I was like, "Oh cool, EDM." Then I realized that I finally found a genre to my liking.

I had a substantial number of choices and EDM won. The styles I was evaluating for a potential favorite:

1. Radio pop
2. Radio easy listening
3. Radio rock
4. Radio hip-hop
5. Radio Alternative
6. Radio christian
or
7. Talk radio

I interviewed my octogenerian neighbors, who were in favor of death metal, my gay co-worker recommended southern gospel, and a grocery clerk with a thick southern accent was particularily found of New-Age-Country-bop.

I did a phone screening of potential 500 listeners in the area and decided that the safest choice was Trance - since no one seemed to know about it.

Actually, I got high on mad dr00gs and trance just happened to be blasting at the time and that's how we fell in love...

j/k

p.s. that's a really dumb question... I wasn't really choosing a style based on anyone's opinion. you like music - you listen. you don't - you don't listen. simple? No?

I got into Unreal Tournament heavily back in 99 and the EDM tracks that played during the maps were just killer. Decided to start downloading some tunes from Napster and got hooked ever since.

always liking something with electrical, techno sounds, early 90's rave, when i'd of been 4/5. Growing up with pop got boring, then discovering Chemicals, Photek, Future sound of London and even Sasha in 95/96 on the wipeout racing games on playstation, fell in love with sasha's music on wip3out, and started listening to Tiesto when he knocked Sasha off the top. A massive fan of tiesto, armin, pvd, sasha, ferry, Morillo,Diggers, Zabiela, sander K. Trance and progressive is where its at.
