why do you guys insist on putting a picture of a sunset on the beach in almost every mix thread as cover art?

serious question here.

"A cliché (from French, pronounced [klɪ'ʃeɪ]) or cliche is a saying, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it was considered distinctively forceful or novel, rendering it a stereotype. The term is likely to be used in a negative context. It is frequently used in modern culture to reference an action or idea that is expected or predictable based on a prior event"

sounds about right.

really, anything that has to do with nature. i guess trance shares the beauty of nature

we all know where thunder comes from. mother natures epic fist pump

and so many mixes are titled as journey to, through and so on.

There seems to be a lot of fetishism in trance that's closely related with the "spectacle" of nature. No doubt, trance artists influenced this greatly with releases and the art included with them (ie: In Search of Sunrise). The music is big, bombastic, and obsessed with emotion, energy, and space (either literal space, or the idea of the music being played in a very large open type of setting, not the "good" kind of space). Sunsets, ocean views, and views of different natural scenes all have very similar characteristics along with provoking vast amounts of emotion in humans.

Many people also relate trance with drugs, journeying, escaping reality through music or experience. That'd probably be why so many people title their mixes things such as "Journey To The Center of My Very Being". Also, you can see these types of things present in not just the imgery used to represent trance, but also in the trance communities obsession with "massives" or events that glorify the spectacle of the thing instead of the music itself, the music almost acts as a backdrop to what is happening inside the stadium.

There's probably also some Ibiza influence in there, sandy beaches, exotic locales, etc.

This is just my opinion, but I always think about it that way.

Sorry for rambling incoherently.

Because most trance listeners like to think that when they listen to trance music they are transported to a magical land of white sand beaches and sprawling evergreen and snow-capped mountains and such.

Or maybe it's a way to lend somewhat of an organic feeling to a genre that hasn't sounded organic in quite a long time.
