I feel exactly the same way. Here in Tallahassee it's referred to as the "Techno stuff" as many cities in the US. When I meet someone here and they call it "Techno Stuff", I try to educate them by telling them it's Dance Music or Trance. For the most part everyone likes Trance but for some reason they don't like to admit it.

I feel sorry for them because they dont have an appeciation for MUSIC.
Sad thing is I think the majority of people just listen to what the popular media tells them to, they don't listen deeply to the music and really appreciate it. This is why I'm glad trance/EDM is still underground, if it were popular the scene would be mostly people who couldn't even tell you why they listen to it, not the music lovers like us. I appreciate a wide range of musical styles, but trance is my favorite because it is melodic AND you can dance to it, and it can also make you feel emotions (I never had the hair on my arm stand up listening to "In Da Club"). The music can be relaxing yet make you move at the same time. Gotta love it!

Omg Rach, I know what you mean!

The other day, when I was working Light Up Orlando, I was psyched because bad boyz of breaks was going to DJ. All of a sudden some random guy came up to my stand and somehow we got onto the topic of EDM and it was like instant bond.

We started going on and on about DJs we've seen, DJs we want to see, it was amazing.

Anytime I meet someone who listens to EDM or trance, I feel like I just found a friend for life

Originally posted by RachUCF1001 Hey guys! So I haven't posted my own random thread in a while and I'm bored so what the hay. I was thinking ...and and Ive gotten into this conversation many a time with other people who are into dance music, Trance/House whatever (usually when Im out and a bit tipsy heh) but I don't know about you guys (Im sure pretty much all of you feel the same or else you wouldnt be here) but I LOVE MUSIC. THIS MUSIC. It's my passion! I think my life would be soo dull if I didn't have it!! TA for example is such a huge community.. but in perspective.. its really not at all. MOST people DO NOT listen and swear by dance/electronic music and this scene. 9 out of 10 are like TranceAddict,what?! And you guys know what I mean by LISTEN/SWEAR BY etc. I almost feel sorry for the people that get into crap like 50 cent because they don't have an ear for or a general appreciation and or liking for our music. Honestly,I just roll my eyes!! Furthermore...you know when you meet someone random and you find out they're into the whole scene and its sooo awesome??! Its like an instant connection. Sorry if I am being a tad extreme, but can anyone relate here? I like that it continues to stay relatively underground and deviates from the "mainstream" (for the most part) There's people who go out and party to get wasted/F'd up and dance who have no clue who spinning; but when I go out (sober or not) I know I will have a great time just enjoying the dj,the music, the crowd and the whole vibe.. and leave that party with a great feeling inside! ps Sorry.... I'm on a serious trance high ATM listening to ESCAPE (PHYNN MIX)!!!!!!! heheh Party On, Rach xoxo

didn`t I send you this track? :P

Some random thought I have developed over many cold nights and a joint.

We (trance/wicked house fans) have something inside of our brains that is more receptive to the quality and sounds of edm. It is something other people can't understand, so trying to convince them that edm is a million times better than most of the other crap out there, it makes no sense to them. They have to open that part of their mind on their own, and "see the light".

I think a lot also has to do with primal tribal instincts, which is why I love to dance forever, as dancing for our ancestors, was a spiritual thing, so it is now for me and the many smiling faces I see at a party who really understand the value of an amazing vibe with amazing music.

i couldnt agree more... the people I've met through TA are some of my best friends now, I have more in common with them than most people I know, and it's always great meeting new people at trance events! Trance is soooo great, because not only can you go out to enjoy a night of great music, but at the same time can have a great time dancing, meeting new friends, drinking, whatever it is you do

Long live tranceaddict, and all the best goes out to my ATL TAs! yall are the best

I definitely go out for the music. I don't tend to go to clubs just for the sake of going. I am a serious dancer, even more so since going to Buzz now and throwing it down to some nasty electro-tech. Atm I am really into Tech-House, Tribal, and electro. This is what gets me groovin.

As for Trance, I am simply tired of it. I was never a big fan of the cheese, and now I can't listen to Epic without wanting to vomit. Its so sterile and boring, and no way does it make me groove. I like the darker progressive trance, and psy-Trance. Hence J00F being my main man.

Yes, edm is the greatest music there is. Tons of new stuff is always coming out unlike other types of music where you wait a year for a band to come out with new stuff. I've bought like 80 new records in the past few months even though I just play them for me, I have to get them cause they are the best songs there are. And theres nothing like playing them loud loud loud, or cruising around with some bangin music in the car, its the greatest. Music doesn't mean much to most people, they just listen to it when they're young just because its around but then they get old and just have some easy listening playing quietly in the car, but thats probably because they never really connected with it anyways. I think I'll love good music forever.
