Trance - Temp lover or soulmate 4 life

ive been around a while on these forums and now have senior addict status...anyway i hardly ever start threads in this section coz theyre often lame n pointless things to discuss...anyway this is my first one..

We all know we love the music we call trance...assuming that most ppl here r either teenagers or early 20s to early 30s people (i wouldnt go beyond 35 plus to define the target auduience of this forum), how many more years do u guys realistically expect to keep listening to n loving these sounds...clubland is gonna fade out for me at some point in life and downloading dj sets and keeping up with the latest djs and their tracklists is fine for now but seriously it cannot go on forever... so sometimes i wonder if trance is like that too perfect soulmate who never lasts forever..fill the thread with whateva thoughts...

Edited: Remember be honest with yourself when answering the question of how long....if u say FOREVER ure missing the point of the thread

FOREVER!

it's certainly not a one-night stand..

you got us all figured out;
we're in denial that one day, we will be out of fashion. rusty. old-skool. past-generation material.

then again,
that goes for everything else we might consider 'modern'.

i'd say i'll listen to it as long as i live but i'm not going to be so enthusiastic about it when i'm old. i mean that i'm not going to hang out here and get all the new releases as soon as possible when i'm fifty or something, but i'll still listen to it.
oh and i'm sure that i'll move on to more chilled out stuff when i get older, but not completely. fuck knows how it'll be!

I'm hoping trance is gonna evolve into the next classical music, then i can get away with liking it when i'm old. And i can tell my grandkids how i was avin' it when tiesto dropped magik journey.

So, fohrevah...

did my thread really scare u guys away from acceptin and living with the "greater truth"

Trance and house music is not a age thing for me, but a spiritual, body and soul thing. As long as those great tunes keep coming this boy will be listening to them.

This is also why I buy the tunes I like on vinyl. Music is such a big part of my life that I want to be able to spit through it over and over again to taint the sweet memories

I have listned to alot of music, and I consider trance the best. Just like everyone does with whatever they listen to, I smile at some songs, tear up at others, fondly recall memories from still others and cant imagine listening to anything else. Ive listened for 4-5 years and this music has been with me from walking to class to how i spend my college nights. Even if I were to move on to something else, trance music has captured a part of my soul that can never be lost....

well, im gonna listen to and love trance for as long as i live, but yeah, i probably wont keep up with the latest djs when im 60, and im probably gonna complain about how much better it was before...

Realistically

You bring up a scary topic I like to avoid but I will be honest and say that even though Trance may not be around forever, music will evolve and the fact that we are all on these forums is because we like the cutting edge of music, so even if music changes into something else I think most of us will keep up with the latest changes simply because we are all obsessed with the future.

Isn't this why people turn into Progressive House, and then turn more and more into Jazz?

I know a lot of people in this situation.

When you come to think of it, James Holden - Nothing, or Way Out West - Questions Never Answered is kinda Jazzy...

Anyways, the style usually changes as the years goes by, of course!
I don't listen to Dune and Scooter as much as I did in 1995


... I don't really like all of the trance I used to like before, my taste has matured a lot. I believe that is was the intensive, more like abusive listening to DJ Tiesto's In Search Of Sunrise 2 back in 2001 that turned it all around... I don't know, nowadays I'm more into progressive something, and *some* progressive house...

However, everything outside of the electronic spectre is considered by me as boring, non interesting, bshi*, especially rock and pop.
Let's face it, you're going to have to mature, when you are getting older, and your date asks you to play some romantic music, FORGET IT, trance is not the deal here. It's 99% sure that she'll hate the music and feel uncomfortable, and you're not going to get some!

However, I'm not at this stage just yet hehe

Its all about time, i love the music and as i see it, its one of the most beautiful things we have in the world and it will last forever, doesnt matter if you are listening to rock,hip hop, trance etc etc. Things might change, you can listen to trance now but you'll be rocking to some irish music about 10 years from now...
For an example, i used to hate rock and pop (The Father of gayness), but since this year i have started to like some songs, and why ?
Dont know



Its all about time.

I think it is stupid to say you will be listening to trance all your life - it may seem that way but then at the time you go off differnt genres of music as they evolve. I started off listening to Happy Hardcore then moved onto Drum & Bass then onto house music then to trance now. While I was listening to all those types of music I thought that was it I would listen to it forever more but it doesn't work like that.

for you it doesn't work like that, but how do you know it's the same with everybody? of course people's musical tastes evolve, but that doesn't mean that you have to ditch your old music, that's just stupid IMO! showing commitment towards your music is a good thing IMO! i'm as committed to trance like i'm committed to my girlfriend: for life. the relationship changes as time goes on, but still i strongly believe that it'll hold!

ah good to see this thread finally oging osmewhere with constructive inputs....

guess we're the generation to take the trance trend forward...if im notm istaken , trance was definitely not as widelyl istened to by previous geenrations as it is now..i bleive the first piece of electronica music resembling trance even a bit came out in the early 60s....so form that perspective, trance as a mausical genre is still in its infancy and its up to us mother******s to take the message forward.....
