Ya know, I was really wonderin why so many people hate trance? I am on a board in NC and everytime I post about trance I always get the response "Trance is dead" Its really gettin irritating. Hell no one in North Carolina will book me cuz I am a trance DJ. And from what I have been told I am a pretty decent DJ. What do you TA's think about this subject? Give IllusionZ some feedback ...

Heh, say the word trance here and the response you get is "huh?" or "what?". Say techno and then the jump down your throat with "techno sucks, all it does is repeat over and over". Yes, people are ignorant and don't realize what they are really missing. The good part of it though is that we all know what they're missing

trance is the least favoured electronic music I find... euro dance and house are way more popular.. but it all depends on the scene in your area i guess.

trance doesnt get the respect it deserves. For example, when ever i would tell people around here that i play trance the first thing they say is " oh i hate trance cause it boring and it makes me tired ". then i say " have you ever even listen to trance or are you just saying that because of the name " trance". most of em dont even know what trance is.

i cant get away from shitty florida breaks down here. then it seems everyone goes crazy for it too.

yeah its nothing but breaks and DnB here

usually it;s the ignorant people that say shit like that, even if I don't like a type of music I have respect for it beaucse the people that do like it and produce it take hard work to make it. Also another thing that pisses me off is when someone calls any kind of electronic music techno

I definately can relate to all of you, its better this way though....we no whats going on...

I know its all about respect but when I am on this certain board all they do is preach about respect and then they post comments like that .... gets me baffled.

the best is when people think they know what trance is b/c they have heard zombie nation and sandstorm. i tell them that comparing those songs to trance is like listening to who let the dogs out and saying you understand hip hop.

Aye - some of my friends were like that until me & my friend dragged them to a club to see Orkidea.
Now trance is all they listen to

You are joking? It's easily the most popular which is why it's become so commercialised.

And not everybody who doesn't like Trance is a fool who doesn't know what they're missing... some just don't like it It's a bit arrogent to assume that. People should respect & appreciate all good music, whether they like it or not.
