Why is trance dominated by white people?

Why is trance dominated by white people?

The DJ's are white.
The producers are white.
The listening audience are white.

Why?

Im Guessing its probably somthing to do with the fact that the places where trance are popular... the Majority of people are white...

and those of Black or other races prefer to listen to other Genres they can relate with people in.

or maybe im off my head talking crap... but it made sense to me...

Yeah loads.

Black gay guys pretty much invented house.

Not all of them were black and gay of course.. but a LOT were.

It's all a part of "The man's" plan to take over the world
I bet Cobra Commander liked the Binary Finary.

Yay for making a racial issue out of everything.

"Every true, nordic-bred trancecracker needs this one. Trance is the form of electronic music most appreciated by unrhythmic white people because it has the least rhythmic content."

Maybe a bit of social pressure.

I can easily imagine a black guy/girl listening to trance (or other electronica) being abandoned by his/her so called friends who are all wanabe-gangsters because he/she doesn't go all gangsta like he/she is supposed to do.

i would think this site is a perfect example of how trance isn't just white people...

He didn't say it was just white people. He said it was dominated by white people. Not the same thing.

well even that isn't really true...i'd say the asian trance fans are just as large a group as the white kids...it just depends what your perspective is...

It depends where you are in the world too. Caucasians are the "racial" majority in the U.S. so to see them dominate the scene in the States is to be expected.

Go to an EDM event in Japan though, and tell me the scene is dominated by white people.

cause white race in general has a weaker body type than the rest, except maybe asian

So anyway, as far as EDM goies, the answer is that Trance has the least influence from African American music/rhythm. It was invented by European/white guys. While Techno, House, Jungle, Hip Hop, were invented by African American gentlemen, hence their African American rhythmic influence and relatively greater popularity amongst African Americans (at least at some point)! In general, those of African descent will prefer more rhythmic music, and "white" people or those of non-African descent will prefer more European, melodic, harmonic music. As it has been throughout history, crackerjack.

Duh.

Trance may be dominated by white people. But they are worshipping a black art form.

it depends where you are mate. if you are in asia, the trance scene is dominated by asians. if you are in america of course youll get more white people because blacks goes to the hiphop clubs and asians go to both.
