The trance in that vid was far from cheese, it's like everyone forgot about acts like Special D and Tune Up...now that was cheese. What's in the vid is just basic anthem trance from the 99-01 period, not cheese by a longshot. Something being popular or well known doesn't inherently mean it's tasteless or poor in quality...to dismiss a track as tripe just because it got mainstream popularity is hipster bullshit.

^ well said, actually. "Bullet In The Gun" sounding the same as Aoki's "drop?" Come on, now.
Don't really care much for the vid; it's all a repetition of the same idea, but that bee flying around that DJ's head was fucking hilarious.

Yeah they're completely different. At least suburban train and sunrise (Tiesto remix) is somewhat credible since it is on dark tremor's list :3
I wonder how that guy is doing nowadays. Speaking of which his list say suburban train is epic trance, not anthem. Is that true?

Everyone more cheesy than me is a stupid kid, everyone less cheesy than me is a hipster. I alone am in the epicenter of artistic worthiness. All together now: There's a bulleeeeet in the guuuuun...

Anthem Trance = "real EDM"? Give me a break.
Big Room never tried to take itself too seriously, its just party music.
Finally someone who gets it.
"B-b-b-b-but trance is not just music its a way of life" - people who actually think that way are far worse in my opinion than young kids going to clubs to jump to a newest Melbourne Bounce track thinking it is the best and most advanced shit ever.

Bullet In The Gun was friggin amazing. The Saturday mix was just the tip of the iceberg. The RITM and Solar Stone remixes were breathtaking.

That is probably true, but that's why it actually makes for a good comparison. The pop Trance of yesteryear will probably be far more memorable than the pop EDM of today. Maybe not. Maybe it's partly nostalgia, again, and years from now the kids of today will have nostalgia for the Dubstep drop. We'll see.
As for those who can't tell the difference between Bullet In The Gun and the modern "EDM" in the video need to check their ears. One gets you moving, the other gets you a migraine.
