also in reference to the comic, it disgusts me how 'trance' has gone so far beyond a word used to describe a musical style & made out to be some giant cult/movement. it seems like as a result, trance listeners end up getting tarred with the same brush; being labelled as dj-worshippers, there for the DJ rather than the music... simply because many of the worlds most-worshipped DJs play trance.
it's the same with any subgenre. you think a night advertised as a 'progressive & electronic house orientated rave goverened by selfless hedonism' with relatively unknown DJs, is going to attract as many punters as a night with "SASHA & DIGWEED PLAYING HERE" sprawled across the flyers? no. would a the turnout at a techno event be the same regardless of whether or not you booked the likes of cox/clarke/liebing/hawtin? no. names sell - end of story, just the trance ones sell more than the house/techno ones; akin to oranges selling more than apples.
regardless... i've been to many smaller trance-orientated events this year, headlined by small-name DJs i either know personally or have been recommended to by friends. i've also been to see tiesto at godskitchen, paul van dyk at passion, and global gathering/dancevalley - both dominated by bignames. the atmosphere at all of the aforementioned events was fantastic; whether the postive vibes were directed at the DJ, the music, the lasers, the crowd... it's all the same & i personally couldn't give two shits as to whether or not the DJ was being worshipped by others while i was there enjoying the music, dancing like no-one else was watching. providing everyone enjoys themselves, there's your atmosphere right there.
someone better +1 this or i'll go all emo and start crying. i seldom put this much mental effort into forum posts these days

elitists are gay. There are plenty of idiot fans in ALL of the EDM scene. Not just trance. But who cares. Have fun.
