music and race

I don't understand why there are hardly any trance addicts who are black. I'm a black person who loves trance, and just about any other type of music (i'll occasionally listen to rock but NO COUNTRY). anybody care to explain what they think?

uh...care to rephrase that? i think most of the people here are white or asian


Posted by dj_mdma on Dec-06-2004 22:19:

do you mean the other way round (i.e few black trance addicts?) cos approx 90% of people in trance clubs are caucasian with the further 10 % being made of oriental, a few asian and the odd one or two black people.

I am a 22 year old black male, and I refuse to listen to anything BUT trance, house, techno, etc (check out the name). I can understand how you feel. I get so much shit from my friends because they all listen to fucking dumb ass rap music, saying that it represents black culture. Bullshit. Rap music is about glamourizing materialze things.


Posted by Phil r on Dec-06-2004 23:00:

shouldn't really be like that... (ref topic)

lead singer faithless...carl cox...

just get the feeling that a lot of black guys in clubs are there to pick up the cyber chicks?


Posted by Sunsnail on Dec-07-2004 00:07:

Maybe you should talk to your friends, and get them into trance as well. I'm sure you're like me though, the only guy in your school to listen to it


Posted by rooibos on Dec-07-2004 00:10:

While I'm not flaming you, this thread is stupid, but also has a good point. The majority of trance fans are white. Though, look at drum and bass, hard-techno, or NL hardcore, house, hip hop theres lots of black DJ's and supporters, and its all electronic music.

You're correct in one way, that trance attracts mostly white people, whereas other genres in electronic dance music attract blacks.

Glad to see you won't fall into stereotypes. My high school senior is all into gansta rap, but my older and younger sons seem to be bent on heavy metal - those two both play guitars as well. Go figure, while old dad is here thumping day in and out on trance. Maybe they'll come around one of these days. It took me a while, mainly because they had to invent it first. Oh yeah, forgot about the race deal, the kids are Amerasian.

Posted by digitalbreach on Dec-07-2004 00:43:

has anyone seen that special by Dave Chappelle about music and race?

bottom line (what I learned from that show)

black ppl like drums.
white ppl like guitars.



Posted by Sunsnail on Dec-07-2004 00:45:

Yeah, that was funny.

Our whole genre is based on drums

It used to, but now...yeah you're right. So Techno and House were invented by African American gentlemen(LOL). Tell them that.
