No, but when I first heard an electronica beat I could still tell the distinct difference.

(And that happened to be when I was around 11/12 years old)

Are we still in kindgergarden here? I personally love taking a edm newbie to a big event and see their faces light up when they hear the beauty of our music. It's about sharing and educating people not brushing them aside just because they dont know the difference between atb and techno. Grow up!

I guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that many MTV cultured peopple are ragging on us techno/house (or an electronica) loving people. They say we have no taste and that it's easy to make techno...and that you can't dance to it...etc..

And when I saw that post...it shows you that these people are putting us in a category we don't belong in. (Assuming that the techno we listen to IS IN FACT Sandstorm)


But yea..I guess it's better to just chill out..

trance: (n)
a feeling of invicibility which you cannot escape as you succumb to the onslaught of sound.

One of the things that pisses me off the most about people who listen to dance music is when people start acting like snobs if others don't understand the distinctions that are placed on the various types of electronic music.

First of all the distinctions themselves are very blurred, and I believe only really useful for trying to describe things, rather than place dj's or tunes in exact categories.

Also dance music is not like pop music in that a person can have easy access to the tunes. They are rarely on the radio, television or played in public places. I remember when I was first starting to have an interest in electronic music I found it frustrating that I did not know where to go to get it, and that I had no way of knowing what was good.

Yelling at people calling them ignorant for not knowing "distinctions" will only scare people away. I still am fuzzy about what certain things are and I've been listening to it for more than five years now.

So I guess I'm ignorant too.

I've had people repeatedly insist that my melodic trance is disco, and I think that's sort of silly. But I can see how people would think "techno" was a generic term for electronica if they were new... in fact, walking to a new stage friday night I had one of the strangers I was with ask me "what kind of techno is this?" I just answered "house" rather than derail the conversation.

Quotation marks are fun.
