far from trance - > university

Hi people !

when I began studying I thought it would be cool to meet new people and to party with them.

But it seems that only 2 from hundred enjoy trance / techno , the rest of them hates it. ----->

Too primitive structures they say. The same people can tell hours and hours from "some very unknown but very cool trash metal bands" but when it comes to trance they just show in arogant way that this is music for primitives, too unoriginal, always cover songs and repetitive elements

Imagine. I just could go there with Paul van Dyk, Tiesto and Ferry and introduce them as some guest students. 98 of 100 wouldn't recognize them and say: And you ? Do you also listen to this boring electronic music ?

God bless, I got some friends who really enjoy Trance. But I wonder why there seems so a big amount of trance haters around students of university...Just felt to tell you, ...

note to self: dont go to uni.

what course are u doing?

I know what you are talking about. The same situation at my university. I have been studying for three years now and there hasn't been a good party since then. The average student (at least most of the german students) seems to like that alternative stuff.

btw what university do you go to?


Chris

the uni i go to is full of diverse people, so far i've met like 2 people who like trance but theres all these neo hippies who are into different stuff. like once i overheard some people talking about a dnb party and the other time a techno party. wouldnt know if they are into it like we are but i think its good that they have exposure and arent so narrow minded. i like the fact that they dont diss the music if they dont like it too.

wow, and you live in germany too?
i would've thought that there would have been alot more electronica-fans with that in consideration..

well, you're better off than me. i've only met one
but i saw a poster saying there were gonna be DJs spinning some prog, trance and dnb around my campus; too bad i saw it a couple of days late.. :/

errr, so my point is, take a look around campus more if you can. i'm sure you'll find more ppl with the same interests!

i hear ya bud.. when i went to college, everybody was listening to dave matthews band, 24/7/365..

Well in my case I have good luck, two partners asked me for good trance and I ripped to them a pair of trance cd's. They enjoyed the stuff!
Also one of my closed friends go with me at the uni and he loves techno, like me

well uni has been good to me. introduced me to one of my now best friends, who loves trance as much as i do and we party together all the time, & it's cool that he lives in the same gaff as me as well. and it also introduced me to his sister who i did ... and that was nice

yeah i understand. i am in southern germany and i dont know anyone that likes EDM as much as me here. you have to be in a major city or close by at least.

the thing is, do you want to meet people who are INTO trance or simply don't mind listening to it?


cuz i know a couple who have pvd sets and a friend of mine, whom i introduced to the scene, listens sometimes, but he's mostly an ASOT / DJ Sammy trancer (likes melodic stuff & stuff like pulsedriver - cambodia). listens to metallica most of the time though.


i'd say it'd be awesome to meet people who would potentially post here, that's what i define as a "tranceaddict"

I thought that there was nobody at my uni who was into trance, but then some guy started a Clubbing Society for all the like-minded clubbers at the uni. Although they mostly go to Hard Trance events, it's still cool to meet some people who like the same music, as most of the people who go to my uni listen to rap/hip hop/R'n'B. That, or they just don't care what they listen to.

I left Uni to start a Higher Diploma Music course... havent looked back, love every minute of it, going on to the Degree after too!

same problem...I moved to UCLA since september...here people are so stereotyped!! All muscles and perfect bodies, but no brain, no real interest. I come from Bologna, Italy, and that's the italian city where the trance wave is stronger so far...I am very into it, but I found out that people my age, in the U.S. at least, don't really care about it generally.

Hang on!

U C L A

SUCKS!

lets see tranceaddict has been networking tool for me at my uni there is a fair amount of people here who post ... i think its 6 or so from my school. and ive met alot of people from the LA area on ta too so thats cool. but its sooooo true just about everyone on my floor has a guitar and is trying to learn dave mathews ... eh ...


edit

but they have a music program here like none other though...they have an electro accustic major(tooo lazy to spell it right) recording major, music industry major, other majors ... its tight

There are people here that like EVERYTHING, it seems every new person I meet has a different and interesting music taste. There are several other people who like trance here, overall, im very happy with the musical tastes around my school, I have found many fin things from coming here.

As for the talk about primitive structures go, I agree with them! It is the whole primitiveness about trance which makes me like it so much, the way something that uses so much technology to create can release the most primitive feelings from a person, making them dance like psychos and such. Sure other music might be more civilized and whatnot, but I listen to this stuff to let out those urges I (and I hope most other people) get.

nice feedback, uni seems to suck concerning trance somehow...

and they have a great fascination for guitar music, most prefer go to a theater than to a (trance) club.

Sometimes people say in a so generous way, "oh I liked techno when I was thirteen" but I think now it all sounds the same...and worst thing is: Some people think at Jan Wayne, Groove Coverage, Benni Benassi, Scooter or Lasgo when I say "trance".

this is so weird to me, because in Italy - or at least in my city - uni is the place where the most of the trance listeners gather! Maybe because its a very liberal town, or I dont know, but this is a fact...I don't see why in the U.S. the scene is so different

i'd think a lot of ppl in Germany's Uni's would be into trance, i'm surprised that it's not. but most ppl in Germany know who Paul van Dyk is right?

in America ppl would just be like Paul van what?


I go TO UC Berkeley and I'm sure I'm into trance more than anyone else attending my school

I've only met like 2 ppl who listen to trance and kno who Tiesto, Ferry, PvD, Armin are.

I'm gettin my friends to listen to trance tho


most of the time I just feel priveleged that I am into such great music that no one else here seems to give much care about

no problem at U Of Miami where I go at,or at Miami dade college where I went before,or pretty much any other college here in south florida I bet.I have alot of friends who like trance that are at Florida International Univ. ,a college which has a DnB and a trance show on their radio station.

I've always thought that Berkeley people would have had a more free and easy feeling on every kind of music genre...since it is still so much into the hippie culture!

I'd love to go to a rave in San Francisco...Man, I've heard there are the most amazing outdoors there!

To me, the people at UCLA just look as they put so much effort in being ALL THE SAME at eachothers. No willing to do,or try something different, but being as much as the others aspect you to be.

I sort of feel priveleged too in the sense you mean it, but sometimes I miss someone to share my passion with...(someone with a car if possible, cause I dont have one and I NEED people to get me to clubs!! )

The one and only time I ever saw a fellow trancer at my uni was on a message board. They were looking for people to go to a PVD gig with, but I couldn't get in at the time. I tried to contact them for later and got no answer.
So I seem to be the only one.
I'm surprised that unis aren't more open to this stuff, hmm.
