Techno and Trance are gay and repetitive
Yeah.... I bet the subject caught your attention didn't it???
Well... now u know what it's like....
I live in Australia, and believe me, Trance is very unfamiliar to people down here. In fact, apart from some of my mates, there isn't anyone in this country I've met yet that really likes Trance... Other than the commercial stuff Like Skitz Mixx, and Wild FM, which are almost always just "10 second trance", which a lot of people here seem to only listen to because they want to be cool (thouh they probably still won't know sort of musci they're listening to).
If anyone asks me what sort of music I listen to, I always say techno, because if u say trance... they won't know what ur talking about.... People don't have a clue what the differnce between House, PsyTrance, Trance, Breakbeat, Techno, Acid Jazz, etc is... Mention Electronica, no-one will have a clue what that is.
Usually, people here are just listening to what everyone else is listening to... I get ragged by rockers and Rappers the most for my music preferences. EDM (no-one knows what that is) here is called "Techno Shit". I'm told it's repetitive crap... and it's not music at all, just stuff made by a computer... I'm told to "listen to REAL music, not stuff made by computers". People will make all kinds of fun out of ya down here...
I'm curious to know what attitudes are like overseas.... And I need somethign to respond to when others when they make such comments. What the hell do u guys do in environments like this??? Trance is good music, it shoudl be promoted without loosing it's touch....
Suggestions anyone??? 
Doesn't happen a whole lot in Holland that people don't know what Trance is, but I've been in the US for a year and over there I usually either say Trance and let them figure out what it means or if I want to get rid of them I'll just say Techno, although that is usually associated with all sorts of weird things.
Which part of oz u living in?
I would say most people in australia who like EDM have become jaded, the psy ppl hate the techno ppl, the prog ppl hate someone else so on and so fourth.
I would say australia had a very healthy trance scene and its only getting better. At the end of the day you wont get half the population liking one type of music, its just like wanting them all to like the same color.
Musical tastes are personal and i really couldnt care if many people dont like the same as i do. At the end of the day its about yourself and what pleases you.
when i was in australia i met lots of people who were into trance

We have kind of like the same problem here, stupid psy-trance queer fans confuse Progressive House with Eurodance.
You are going to find that kind of ignorance everywhere. Here in America, most people refer to electronica as "Techno". I always correct people and they look at me like I'm retarded for actually knowing about the shit. Hip-Hop seems to dominate a lot everywhere. When I visited Norway last summer, all I heard was Hip-Hop and sorry diva house (I mean bad house, not all house is bad, but this was horrible). The nature of electronica and trance is still a little bit underground, although it is growing in popularity. In Denver, we don't even have any radio stations that play EDM. We had one and it rotated "Burning for you", "Take me Away" and "Will I" all day. It sure seemed that way anyway, and was off the air within a couple of months.
I just don't worry about the comments that closed minded, unenlightened people have to say. If they won't even give the music an honest listen with an open mind, I won't give their crap ass argument a listen either. In one ear, out the other.
just tell the rockers that the keyboards they use, are also computers, let's see what they have to say about that 
anyways, they're all instruments, whether it's a guitar or a pc. despite what people say u can't just walk up to a pc and make a track, it takes a lot of time to master it.
and what is this crap about trance not being real music. ofcourse it's music, cuz it has melodies, rhythms etc....
tell the rocker to be thankful there is an alternative to rockmusic, since i don't wanna be familliar with such narrowminded potheads.....
yeah...
no actual suggestion for you, but i know what that is like. i always have to tell people that i listen to techno because they don't have any idea what trance is and probably couldn't distinguish between the two if their lives depended on it. it totally sucks, but i've shown my close friends (however rock or hiphop they might be) what prog and trance are, they even listen to my mixes sometimes.
my advice would be to show your close friends what it is and tell everyone else to stfu. thats basically what i;ve done, and it works well.

I dont know what its like to be in that situation.
People in the states LOVE trance.
Wait... no.
I just tell them to bugger off. If people are going to sit there and bash you because of the kind of music you listen to then they really arent worth talking to. People need to be more open.
Well said.

Techno and Trance are fairly repetitive. But House is gay. Doesn't mean you can't listen to it or that it's bad music though. Unless your audiohomophobic.
they're just stupid
nothing to do.
I can relate to you exactly. Hardly anybody in Wisconsin knows what the hell trance is, well, except UWM I suppose on teh TA forum. 
I have 2 or 3 friends into Trance, but they don't have the persistence to keep up with all the new tracks and events etc. That's kind of what makes Trance and EDM in general unique, there's so much of it, yet not a lot of people know about it (in some parts of the world that is).
You say Techno and people understand??? God, you're lucky!
Here in Greece, I say electronic and they reply.."oh, beats and stuff?" 
If I say trance, they'll say "trance???? psychedelic???"
awful..

), but telling people that you listen to techno when that isn't strictly true only perpetuates the stereotype that all repetitive dance-like music is "techno". So really, you should be telling them that you listen to trance, but that trance isn't necessarily the sort of music that they think it is. 10 out of 10 for effort though, young one.
Come we all here been trough the same thing,Most of my friends know whats trance though....some times they even try to make EDM with there mouths and ask me to dance.I dance for them and just laugh at the noises that come out of there mouths 
And when there in my car all the hear is EDM.THere all ways like "Man i feel like im in my Mitzubishi commercial"
But they dont talk shit about what i listen to,they even ask me to burn them a CD.
