Has anyone else here ever had a confrontation with someone who thinks that their chosen genre makes them superior to every person on the planet ?

I just had a conversation with a guy who claims to have thousands of techno records. He proceeded to tell me how good techno was and how awful my music was.

Im just ur average tranceaddict here, i love progressive house and trance, breaks and uplifting trance. The guy i was talking to now called me ignorant because all i listened to was claimed to be cheese by him. He considered anyone spinning on less than 3 decks unskilled and unworthy of being called a dj.

Im asking you guy have you ever run into anyone like this? Who think that their genre is much superior to everyone elses chosen music ? And does he have any right to call anything that isnt techno, cheese ?

LOL, i would prob be shot if i said there are a few of these kinda people online.

You are always gonna beet ignorant people, i tend to only realy like a small range of music, but i do listne to other stuff, just nothing compairs to the feeling i get when i listen to trance

If someone acts like that to me ill just ignore them.

Uusually no electronic, and usually the people who write off the genre without being exposed to it properly

Usually the best DJ's (In my oppinion at least) play a veriety of different stuff. If you only play one kind of music, you can only play for one kind of crowd. The only DJ's who can really get away with being very narrow minded in their types of music are really famous ones, because they have fans that like a particular style of theirs, and that's what they come to hear. If your goal is to move crowds and show people a good time, and no one knows who you are or what you play, it's your job to work the crowd and see what kind of music they like, and react to them. Like I said, most of the DJ's I consider "good" DJ's do that anyway, regardless of their fame, because that's really what their job is all about.

Being a trance elitist is just as bad as being a "prog-head", the only difference is, here on Tranceaddict.com, you can get away with it. Just go to a record store and try to tell the cashier(who spins, say, DnB) why trance is the best and why almost everything else is shit. See how cool you are then.

hey, i'm a closed-minded & ignorant genre nazi. i always tell my buddy to stop listening to that supposedly sad, as he thinks of it, lasgo track and download some banging hard trance / tiesto / avb / prog
