Up here in Toronto/Canada regardless of ethnicity we call them ginos/ginas. Guido is non-existent as a term North of the border .

I came to the conclusion that female or male, I would refer to them as "Julio". Kinda like hoe female and male giraffes are still giraffes...

They're not worth the extra effort : )

I'll just call them poseurs as I've been doing so for a now...or fashion ripoffs whichever I feel like at the time

I don't think it's an embarassment to say you like trance. I mean it's the best. Is it embarassing to say you like the 49ers Dynasty, the Bulls Dynasty, the Lakers Dynasty of today and yesterday? Of course not. Because it's the best. Everything else is like the Clippers.


But when I tell people what I listen to, I say something like tribal-progressive-psy-drum n'core-breaks together just to test them.


Heh. I see people talking about high school. When I was in high school there was about 4 people who liked EDM. Of course, they were the cool kids in school. I sat next to a drum N bass kid, who I also suspect stole one of my cds when I was taking a shit.

It can't be an embarrasment as my mates like happy hardcore

ppl know techno (at least they think they know what it is) and hardcore aka jump nowadays
but most of em wont really know what you mean exactly by trance except for saying: "ah Tiësto?", if you're lucky that is

ah and to answer to your question : its not really an embarassment, i'm always proud to say it

I think the forum core question is revolving around whether or not those around you make Trance an embarassment to personally like but yeah

Top 2 guilty pleasures:

1. Trance
2. Jem And The Holograms and other such 80s crap

Sydney

Trance In Australia Sydney Is Allright Its Just Thay Think U Do Drugs If U Listen 2 Anything Electronic "/

which is a stereotype that needs to be broken; trance for some people I know is associated exclusively with raves and doing E or some other jaw-grinding drug. the dannce music poseurs and tacky ginos/ginas do that crap, not so much trance music people.

Where I live trance does not even exist haha.. well its very small nothing but hip hop and Rock mostly the new emo bullshit.. everyone thinks here that if you listen to "techno" your gay.. most people dont even know what trance or house is they call it techno.. oh well there loss.. cause theres no way in hell im gonna be listening to that bling bling BS rapping about there 1000000 rental cars and rental jewlery..

trance has been an embarassment for the last few years

what r u talking about the dance scene was built around drugs without drugs clubs as we know them would probably never exist the scene has a deserved reputation if u dont like it then its tough.

alright I'm not afraid to admit that the scene may have heavily relied on drug usage to boost its existence but I think we can get around the "reputation" of being drug hotspots whenever that type of music is played. But that's my opinion for which you can disagree and I'll respect, provided you back up/provide your reasoning why.

Nice

All I Can Say Is That Electronic Music Owns Any Ppl Should Get Over It Wene Thay Start On us 4 Liking it Simple Yeh :/

Same

LoL Also Down In Sydney Wene U Say Trance Thay Say Ohh Techno Sucks Like Trance & Techno Aint Even The Same Even If U Say Dance Thay Think Its Techno Its Just Plain Simple Minds LoL

Personally, I'm not embarrassed to admit trance because I love it. There definitely is a stigma against the word "trance". Either you are assumed to do drugs, or are not mature enough to appreciate "real" music. The best was the other night when someone at work said - "I just hate trance bc there are no words in it"...

ummm...


yeah.


It all seems to boil down to conforming to general standards of what is cool as well as a simple lack of musical education.

my 2 cents.

Nobody likes it in Seattle because all of the good trance goes to the 21+ clubs, and the trance that's heard at the all ages events is usually cheese. Plus, there is a huge DnB following hear. Plus it's Seattle, need I say more. If you talk to anyone about trance, they'll say they love Tiesto or Lasgo or some shit, even though they probably don't follow them at all. They are just uber popular. Nobody knows what they are usually talking about here in my experience.

At least they say Tiesto and dont bash trance.

Not many people around my area have heard of trance...mainly because its infested with that god awful boucey house and MCin shite bibble babble grrrrr ( people in manchester area of UK who have heard of wigan pier, Cricketers and Maximes will know what im chatting )

im loud and proud of the music i listen to..im not ashamed of saying im a tranceaddict..when i tell people i get the usual " yeah your into trance cool do you take Ecstacy? " typical stereotype and plus my favourite " wow trance thats differant... who is your fav dj..Dj sammy or Special D "

ill laugh and look in shock and say " nooooo fooking way.. its people like Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Buuren" and they are like " who are they? "

i work in a mainstream bar and our music policy is crap and trance is a big no no, but a few CDs later he was playing it and people who have never heard the music are dancing to it..my manager came down and asked me whats this music playing and i said trance and she gave me a confused look and said i wernt expecting this....... sorry going on now ill shut it hahahahaha

i dont understand why u think there is less drug use in trance then with other forms of edm like techno for example.
Trance is called trance cose its supposed to put u in a state of trance all that euphoric uplifting stuff is made for talking pills to when ur rushing of them the music was made for the club / drug scene theres no way round it.
So theres no wonder people that dont go to these clubs think there just drug dens and for the best part they r right u cant deny that 80-90% of people that go to clubs take drugs its a part of a good night out for them.

Liverpool is in a funny situation. Home to Cream, and i dont really have to explain what Cream means to Trance . But the actual Trance genre isnt that highly rated here. The genre of House music known as 'Scouse House' is dominant here and has its roots in Liverpool, and so the native producers/Djs take preference as they'll sell out any large event. Cream normally sells out at events at Club Nation when they bother having one, but its the 'Cream' name that attracts the customers, not Paul van Dyk or Ferry Corsten on the lineup. Theirs a good Funky House/Prog House movement too with the likes of Garlands and the Masque hosting Chikubu Shake amongst others.

I've been to events and get the same euphoric state of mind listening to trance music without drugs, although my substitute for it is one or two alcoholic drinks (I'm a cheap drunk and damn proud of it). Most of my friends who are into trance as well do the same and avoid the drug usage altogether. Also I've never said that drug usage was limited to the Trance genre. I was talking about its usage specific to the trance scene. I know drugs are used in other genres, EDM or not but that's not my point in this case .

I don't disagree that a large chunk of scene goers do some kind of drug whether it's E, booze or whatever. I'm just stating the belief that the scene doesn't have to revolve around its usage and that a good chunk of people I know who are part of that 20-10 % of current goers agree that it's not entirely necessary to get to that fixed state. As well (tieing this back to the thread topic) I know some good hardcore trance lovers who aren't into drugs and not too snap happy to go to trance scenes because of the drug usage and discomfort in seeing some people around them totally out of it to a sometimes scary degree (esp. after hearing and seeing the damage from taking some of those drugs.
