The youth of Ontario... (Aaron's vent post)
As a few of you guys know... I'm still in highschool. Anyways, I have a little story that I wanted to tell to all the TA's:
My buddy Anthony and I were invited to play some music while the new grade 9's played games outside that were organized by the student council. We both love trance, so we put on a CD that Anthony had burned, that had some good trance tracks on it. To my astonishment, groups of grade 9's walking by were shouting at us (grade 12s!) to "Turn that fucking shit off".
Now, I took a step aside in my mind. I hate rap, I hate it when people bring in their stereo's and play rap for the entire caf to hear at lunch, but I don't go up to them and tell them to turn that "shit" off. Even though I don't necessarily like it, I respect their choice of music, no matter how bad it may be.
I couldn't believe the direct lack of respect for both the MUSIC and Anthony and I for trying to play some decent music for a town dominated by wiggers and wanna-be thugs.
When the next kid walked by and said something along the lines of what I said before, I felt the urge to punch that kid right in the damn face. I hate being a violent person, and I can't afford to get suspended for two weeks over a little shit like that.
Anyways, my point of this post was to thank ALL OF THE TA'S! I feel at home with fellow trance lovers, and people that can respect eachother. After my experience today I was so incredibly angry with the youth that is 3 years behind my generation, and will someday be there influencing even more people in the cRAP music style.

That's happened many times before.
But you know what, I just turn it louder and take the bass knob on my woofer and put it higher.

ignore.....
let them tell u to turn that shit off etc. its ur choice in music...as long as u love it, thats all that matters....thats the way i go thru the day when people call the stuff i listen to BS and so on....
u know they only listen to rap cos tehy want to fit in and have no individuality...
I dont know how you can be surprised that a bunch of 14 year olds didnt like trance!~?!?!?! When i was in grade 9, i labeled ALL electronic music "gino beats" and hated all of it, with the exception of a few tracks. Youve got to realize that high school is all about image, and being "cool". Listening to 50 cent, and dressing like a thug is what over half the highschool population is doing right now, so unfortunately theyre not going to appretiate your style of music. Just wait until you graduate, and all the "thugs" get to experience the sounds of trance at a big party or club, and then and only then will they begin to appretiate the music you listen to.
And BTW......everyone in here that is calling rap "crap" and disrespecting the genre of hiphop is doing exactly what the grade 9's did to your trance. Just appretiate the music you like, and dont be offended by others negative views. They are either uneducated, or just not open minded.

True, I should have known better. I just didn't realize that 14 year olds are so closed minded music wise.

I just thought id share my experience with you. Since i was one of the kids in school that wouldve told you to "turn that shit off!!" And now (5 years later) ive developed into a full fledged TECH, TRANCE & PROG Addict.
