how come so few people understand trance?!
very often i hear people saying "how can you listen to that shit, it's always the same, it's boring with all those beats"
this is just freaking me out, trance is all about melody and unique sounds. yet nobody seems to realize that. yesterday at brussels is burning, the bass was that hard that most of the time you couldn't hear any other sounds than the beat. that's a real pity, i think. i like a hard beat once in a while, but not in a trance track.
trance is about composition, not about 4/4 beats.
it seems as though a lot of people, and especially belgian party-organizers, have some serious listening to do...
The unfortunate reality of the situation is that most people have the intellectual capacity of a pair of socks.
First of all most people don't know what is trance. They think that is just BAM BAM BAM from the speakers and nothing more.
People can't or even don't want to understand what real elecronic music culture means. They have some old stereotypes about electronic dance music, and you'll never change them.
Just ignore those people, trying to change their point of view it's just a waste of time and energy.
Dont think about it, they just dont know....
Just like you maybe dont know what metalheads think of their music.
See...

FUCK KNOWS
This thread seems to coem around all the time, and i i guess it just comes down to the fact we liek wot we like, and if someoen doesnt feel the tingle down there spine for trance, and they do for sommit else who are we to argue.
if we all liked the same things it would b a boring world 
IMO people dont understand Trance because the genre is associated with the commerical cheese that we piss on. Since cheese is shit, people think trance in general is shit.

i guess its just a matter of opion and how you get your kicks in music. i mean i cant stand that slip knot and mudvayne and all that junk. ive listen to it and tryed to under stand heavy metal, but i just think its so unfilling, trance leaves me differently than i was before. heavy metal just leaves me angry or in a badd mood. other people it calms them down.
also i think it has to do with trance being so underground...
If someone doesn't understand trance then it is their loss. They will miss out on one of the best things in life.
But I know what you mean though. For me it is hard because I love the feelings trance gives me and want to share that feeling with everyone I love, but they just don't get it, so I am stuck only talking about it and sharing feelings about it here.

it takes a while to build =/ and to get the full effect you gotta listen to the whole song but people dont wanna take the time to listen to the whole thing =/
well, americans dont like trance because they already got punk and rock and rap and all that crap. bleh!
