C-naptik, no one hates arrogance more than me. Trust me on that one. And arrogant people can be in the US, in France, in any country.

But you have to admit that societies around the world are generally different. For example, the American society, shaped by its geography and history (e.g. "the Wild West"), is in love with the guitar. That's why rock is a very popular style here. As for techno and dance music -- not really.

Europe, on the other hand, has been producing quality dance music for years.

It's just like sports. In the US, no one really plays soccer, the game of choice here is baseball or American football. Are these games popular in Europe? No.

Societies are just different, and -- yes -- people are different too.

although there are few trance producers here in teh U.S.. there are plenty of diehard fans (although in California, most people mistake it for happy hardcore )

look america still has alot to learn within the dance music scene in general. Lots if good producers are coming through and as ive said in my earlier post if america gets a bigger scene im all for it even if its not totally trance dominated and the house scene explodes there are lots of buding producers in america and we need to stop them producing rap. Another big problem in america is the labels do no take electronic music seriously they see it as a waste of time and a non money making music. If you look at the Uk all these compilations are coming out most of em are shit and cheesy but im pretty sure everyone on the whole ta forum was listening to cheesy trance before appreciating pvd and tiesto. The Uk trance scene could be so much bigger all the kids listen to Rap and Uk Garage this has to stop. Trance is portrayed as a geeky music if Tiesto or Pvd were to start driving around in ferraris with guns and bitches ion there videos im pretty sure a lot more people would listen to trance!!

shit my longest post ever !! lol

King this phenomena is not due to trance

well yes and no this lack of public image about trance in the usa is due in part to what it is , electronic music.....


actually there's another reason as to why there's no public recognition , america has tons of parallel movements, that nobody knows about unless you are part of them....

take the rap scene, the true hip hop is not public, it's underground and has nothing to do with puff daddy and pimpish stuff on tv .....

well off course america has to progress, but don't forget I think it's more about the fact so many movement exist that it's impossible to really have one stand out, unless it's televised or has mass presence in the media or amongst the youth and so on.....

the scene is very much alive , but I think to many of us are stuck in what we listen to and the fact we "only" support the big djs .....
support your local dj!
