We have many Genres and Sub Genres to Electronica. This forums name takes up EDM's most widely accepted form...Trance. Over the past year that I have been visiting this Forum, Ive seen a lot of changes in what people listen to and what they post about. TA's going from "dying" over a new release, to id'g every song of a Live Tiesto or AvB set, the cheese posts, and the Top 5,10,100 posts. The posts about Politics in Trance. Then in the last 6 months, Progressive House stepped in and changed everything. It then gave room for Breaks and Techno to nudge in. TA community showed signs of evolution. The Prog vs Trance wars started and the fans of two big sub genres of EDM found themselves on either side or like myself they enjoyed both. All that being said, wouldnt it be tite for a New Name for our Vast and diverse community? Something punk rock that everyone can relate to. If you agree, post a new potential name.

EDM = Electronic Dance Music.
I think he means, why not change TA to EDMaddict, so that it encompasses all types and genres of EDM not just trance.
I say. Too much hassle.

Good effort
EDM sounds good but I think it is too broad. As such, I can't really think of anything better than the current name. This is simply because one can define trance music as music that puts you into a trance. For me, this encompasses trance, prog, breaks, and whatever else I like.

if i start talking about chinese pop music in here with a couple of friends, can we change the board to EDM-HKPOP-Addict.com?
this board started off as tranceaddict and i certainly hope swamper intends to keep it that way.
LoL tits, it was a proposal not something to cry about. I know it isnt easy to change TA's name. In the long run though, Trance, House, Breaks, will come and go as topics of discussion but the Core will remain Electronica Dance Music. Its like America changing its name from the original 13 colonies...to the United States of America...Think of it like that.
