elitist attitude

and your name is superstar....

Anyways welcome to Tranceaddict, get use to it.

I love it when they play trance on z103, I just wish they'd play something other than PVD - Nothing but you once in awhile!

How am I an elitist? Because I don't want to see a loser like P. Diddy, who has had his hands involved in who fucking knows what kind of crime (drugs, murders), messing around in the electronica genre? I heard that he and PvD hugged each other at Space a few months ago in Miami. That's.....repulsive to even think about them working together. I hope they're just friends and that's it.

I don't mean someone like Tiesto should JUST stick to trance, but he should stay in electronica. Would you REALLY want to see a famous trance/house Dj become a rock star or a rapper and mix the genres? Would you REALLY want to see someone like 50 cent infuse his shit rap with dance music and become an all star Dj? Think about it. This is kinda what Diddy wants...he has the money and fame, but he wants the love and admiration that superstar Dj's have because it's more underground and not so much about the money (at least not AS much). I read this in an interview last summer before this track was even produced.

It's best that we don't get outside influences into the electronic genre. The more massively identifiable icons become a part of electronica, the more interest the big corporations will have in our genre because they can exploit it and make money. I know this has happened to a certain degree, but for the most part, trance/house/techno are all still mainly underground in North America. It's best that the North American record companies stay the fuck away from our industry.

I just don't want to see it get completley mainstream. Then we'll have even more losers and posers at the parties....

it might have revolved around drugs in the past, when everyone said electronic music was rave or techno. But now I find that the hardcore drug users are the in the minority. People actually go FOR THE MUSIC. Sure, there will always be a few people on E or special K, and a whole shitload smoking dope and another shitload that are wasted on alcohol. But the pull factor to big parties like Tiesto isn't drugs anymore. If you don't believe that, you're in the past.

I'd agree if I knew that most people didn't do drugs @ parties.. and whats really a shame is that thats not the truth. Still most people I meet at places like system are hopped up on something. I've been going to live events for a while and not ever have done E or anything, simply becuase I dont have the urge to do it. THough more and more people are going to events simply becuase of the music, i'd have to say the majority still go cuzz they wanna get f*cked up.

maybe true at smaller events.....but I'm talking about when the Superstar Dj's like Tiesto, Ferry, Armin and PvD come. Were you there for Tiesto last December? The WHOLE crowd, at least 2000 people, were chanting his name when he came on and just going nuts! Most people stuck around for the whole thing too...I know a lot of them are posers, but I would definitely say that most of the people who go to big Goldclub events go for the Dj.

no I wasn't living in t.o last december, I was actually in Dallas texas, oh yea crazy party seen there .. True enough though when people go to a large party such as that. At iDream it seemed like everybody was doing alright, but I swear if you asked them who or where, or how to spell AVB's name they'd get it wrong. iDream was really odd, there was loads of people there for show, but when AVB came on I swear half the place emptied out at 4AM. Big events like that have less drugs use? hrmm maybe I guess. To be honest the only time where I felt little to no drugs were being used was at revival for Sasha! .. that goldclub event, anybody remember that? and it seemed like more of a mature crowd too.

i disagree. i think the people that are there for the music are in the minority. drugs are a HUGE part of the scene! anyway, we're opening up a whole new can of worms here, so i will just leave it at that.
