I wouldn't necessarily say that a person who happens to be opinionated is ignorant. They could be that way because of their experiences, i.e. jaded. If someone is ignorant, it's because they developed that opinion without knowing otherwise. It's like they say this music sucks or that music sucks, but never listened to it. Just a thought.

I'm just saying that if you're looking for underground music, good luck coming to one of the top 100 most popular internet message boards to search for some.

Originally posted by Abhay People who listen to trance are highly opinionated, and have different preferences.... But one thing is for sure... WE seem to be split up into two categories... those who listen to things like Wild FM, Skitz Mix, Ministry of Sound, and others who prefer listening to music by certain artists eg. Magik VII (Tiesto), Nyana (Tiesto), Next Level (George Acosta), Reflections (Paul Van Dyk), 76 (Armin) and live mixes. Etc. From my knowledge, the difference between these groups is that one is commercial, whilst the other is underground. I've heard of many differnt explainations of what commercial Trance, adn Underground trance is. SOme say underground is apart from the mainstream music. Others say that commercial music is where your gunning for money, with as many sponsors as possible. I already know of many people who vow to hate commercial trance. I'm curious to hear people's explanations as to what they think the definitions of underground and commercial actually is.

Originally posted by Abhay DOes anyone else find that the people who often listen to stuff like MOS, Gatecrasher etc. Usually aren't into trance as such as thier favourite music?

Not necessarily(sp?), I used to listen to all those compilations, because that was all that was available to me, and trance has been my fave for about five years now. First it was the MoS and Euphoria comps, which have a lot of europop (DJ sammy etc.) on them, then i moved on to the Gatecrasher, cream, Godskitchen comps, which i would say have proper trance on them as opposed to europop and shite vocal remixes of proper trance tunes (i.e 643(loves on fire)). Now I dont really buy compilations, sometimes buy artists albums (Just Be and Reflections), but the rest i get on vinyl or by other means.

Not really anyhting to do with the thread, just responding to abhay's quote (not having a go BTW, just my experience)

I listen to what I like and usually it falls into something that is not quite commercial. I cannot stand songs for the most part that everyone listens to. If my non EDM friends know about it, I figure it has reached cheese status. I'll listen to what I like and you are pathetic if you say that trance people are highly opinionated, I am highly opinionated and I understand the concept well. It is not what kind of music you like, it falls into what type of person you are, not your music preferences.

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Yes, you just described a cheese track

My definition of a cheese track was one of those ones that make a track sound very... feminine... like sweet love vocals, and a sweet, really smooth, highly melodic sound in the background.

Has it occured to anyone that I might not have anything against strong opinions?
{HINT HINT.... I have some of my own}

Here in AUstralia, people have a tendency to listen to only music that is "cool". All of my friends that listen to what they call "techno", don't like Electronica as their favourite sort fo music. I find they all listen to those collectoins like Gatecrasher and Cream.

By the way Moondog, I love that gif you have... Where'd u get it... and do u mind if i get it off u (too late).

cant remember where i got it from, and yeah, feel free to nick, just dont tell 'freak', he'll go apeshit
