If I knew that, I wouldn't be posting on here

When I was 10 I use to listen to groups like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Offspring, I guess u could that stuff grunge or punk. I then got into rap when I was about 14 or so and that took over as the main genre of music I listened till all the way up until I discoverd trance a few years ago when I was about 18.

I always seem to discover something different because I tend to get bored with a certain genre. Like alot of people have said, too much of one thing is a bad thing. For example, the past 3 years i've pretty much only listened to trance I think it's done more harm then good. I'm not quite bored of trance yet but I definetly think I need a break from it but that can be hard when your bored and u have 2 turntables and 170 vinyls sitting in the room next to you

It may venture into a different genre of Electronica because music without lyrics is more my thing. I found myself only listening to rap primarely because of the beats, not the lyrics.

I agree with a post made a while ago in this thread. Weekly sets like ASOT really overspoil us. I mean, how can you expect NEW and AMAZING stuff to come out every week? I certainly don't expect it to happen.

Since I'm not a DJ, just a fan, and good trance clubs aren't existant, sets like ASOT or a lot of the livesets that get airplay give me the opportunity to hear a selection of newer stuff that I don't get a chance to do on my own. I might not like all of it, but I look back and remember not liking everything in say... Sasha's NYE set of...was it 1999?

So I try to listen to sets of artists I've enjoyed, and dabble in other ones as well. I loved some of G&D's stuff this year, and while I've enjoyed Tiesto in the past he hasn't lived up to my expectations lately, but producers i used to like such as Mauro Picotto got my juices flowing again.

I think if you stick to one genre of electronic music, you're really limiting yourself and setting yourself up for disappointment. While there are enough quality producers for each genre, its still not enough to fill the void of new and fresh music.

And, as an aside, I like "rock your body rock" because it reminds me of that breakbeat stuff that came out around the time that breakdancing was just a 'black thing', You know- stuff like Laid Back- White Horse, Jam On It... except corsten added a DJ Jurgen/cheeze edge to it, but for some reason I like it.

Well most of you long time trance listeners.....yeah the Uplifting/Melodic/ASOT stuff is probably really really old now....

But for someone like me who's only been listening to trance for about a year or so, and discovered trance through even cheesier music (Sammy etc.....don't worry I've seen the light and stopped listening to his crap), I'm still stuck in 98. Couple that with my lack of filesharing....so I have to actually buy things....and I'm still listening to the Melodic stuff....

And also, when you have no file sharing, sometimes you have to look online for good amature acts - and find a lot of good talent that way.

Ciao baby.

After seeing most of the replies to this thread, I am disgusted to be on the same forum as you people. Cobalt, 'just say no to a state of trance?' how about, 'just say no to cobalt?' ishkur, your way of thinking is dwarfed by everyone else who can truly call themselves 'tranceaddicts'. you dont like whats playing now? find somewhere else to bitch and moan about it. you cant change the way things go, and some of us dont see it going downhill like in your preposterous ways. kthxbye.

give it a few years and we will all be listening to Northern Exposure imatations again

why are we ressurecting this thread...

lol..... because it must return!! anyways..... my opinion can definitely go both ways. sometimes trance nowadays does sound similar and reptetive, but there is always something new and different that catches my ear. i defenitely think that the internet and accessibility of trance has affected the genre a lot. i used to go to the local best buy or cd store and buy those stupid cds that are titled, "Pure Trance" or "The Perfect Trance". and those would satisfy me for a couple months. but now that i recently started spinning w/ production slowly coming together, I know where to find the most recent releases at chemical records or juno and i listen to live sets that i d/led etc. there is so much more selection to listen to now. i think it is because of this expanded selection that a lot of the new trance tracks overlap and sound similar. but stuck in between all these new productions, there are still large numbers of producers who experiment with different sounds and change it up a bit. just gotta be patient.

let it die ffs
