Producers make music they like, people listen to music they like. If trance is dying, that means people have found something better, simple as that. All music evolves, it never dies. Every musical genre has evolved into something new, but the influence is never forgotten.

I really like trance, and I've been listening to it since I was 13 (ironic point: I am now 18 years old...). I am, however, finding that I like progressive trance better, and electro house, music with the amazing melodies of trance music, but the heavy drum beats of house. For me, it's the best of both worlds. Sorry to hear that you do not agree. But no one is going to forbid you from listening to your favorite traxx from '98-'04, alot of people like that music, just like a lot of people like '70s Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Great music, that changed the face of rock music forever.

Nothing in the world is constant.

The majority of trance fans - don't leave out the operative word. I'm sure that the majority of Air America's fans would have voted for them too.

Bingo. As soon as trance became synonymous with supersaws, it died.

Some might call it flogging a dead horse.

but if the majority of trance fans outweighs the majority of other genre fans then it clearly is the most popular and therefore far from dead.

Er, outweighs how? By virtue of the fact that you give more weight to their opinions than anyone else?

the majority of people like trance 'judging by the poles' so how am i giving weight to the 'trance is dead' supporters? the only people who think trance is dead are those who dont like it or who dont like music unless its constantly commercilised.

you cant say that only trance voters 'vote' that is utter nonsense. when the voting comes there is clearly a majority fan base against any other genre whether you like it or not its true.

i don't think trance is dying. it never will because there will always be people producing it (*cough cough* substorm ) . but i think that the listeners are starting to realize that there is more than just trance that they actually like listening to.

now can we end up this stupid discussion?
