From time to time people tell me they dont like it, or say it sucks or whatever. But it doesnt bother me, I find it much more disturbing how much it bothers some people here that other people dont like trance, then it does that some people disagree with my taste in music or are ignorant and dont have an open mind.

all the time! in the end u just give up! all u hear back is "its all the same, bang bang bang". now i just tend to let them have their opinion, i rarely argue back unless its a big debate or i can be arsed.

most peopel in hte world knwo fuck all about the music and 99.99999% of the time have a comical taste themselves, so its easy to retort

I listen to electronic music since I was 8/9 years old, so I had all sort of nicknames like "Technoboy", "tunts-tum boy" (tunts-tum was supposed to be the beat), "Electrofreak"... and people ask me things like "Why do you listen to it? Because it's new?". Bloody hell, electronic music is about 40 years old... it's as new as bossa nova Bloody radios

edit: However, it's been changed lately. In fact, this saturday I'll throw a mini "rave party" for them :

"its monotone"/repetetive 4. go take some ECSTASY pills 5. what exactly does a dj do? 6. its FAKE! its not music, its all done with a keyboard

7. I could produce techno too, but my game boy is broken
8. It's so cold... it doesn't have emotions whatsoever
9. Can you hear it? The phone is ringing, aren't you gonna dance? (hehe, I admit it, this one was quite funny )
10. How do you enjoy the music when you're not stoned? ( I almost bursted out in tears when I heard it, because the guy was serious. He had never gone sober to a rave )

yeah i heard that comment from some idiot who apparently loved hip hop, saying that electronic music is just a loop being repeated over an over and over and that it's so easy to make. i was like yeah hip hop is much complex (insert sarcastic tone here) :P

I get sh*t ALL THE TIME! There's people here that listen to House and such here, but they're still few and far between. At school people are like "trance?? what's trance??" with a snobby attitude. It's all about mainstream here, basically. I get that weird look like people think I'm on drugs or soemthing, which IS amusing, but most of the time I won't even bother trying to explain it to them. I've tried introducing people to trance, and some do like it. But most will only listen to what you hear on the radio. The music IS becoming more accepted, and maybe some day people won't treat is as a joke. But then again, why doesn't matter? We'll all still listen to it whether everyone else likes it or not! For me, i think it's fun freaking people out. Just say "Oh yes! I'm on ecstacy, and ketamine, and LSD, and acid..." and they should drop the subject

Only off my dad the fat piece of shit! He comes in my room when i'm blasting out the tunes and goes mental at me and starts calling the tunes shit. One day im gonna knock his fat head off!!

he, my brother said "techno" is too repetetive and i should listen to something that wasn't made in 5 minutes, so i removed the vocacls from a few of his eminem traxx.....it was fun to see him stutter and stumble trying to find a retort


nb: for those who didnt get it once i removed the vocals from the track, it was just the same sample looped over and over again, hence the

Like thats a bad thing.

IMO, Trance is better to listen to than most of the chart-topping pop music out there. In trance do you hear about people raping women, beating wives, doing drive-by's, dealing drugs, or killing people--all done in vulgar language?

All this cheesy pop crap that Eminem and Snoop Dogg does is for little sub-urban middle-class white kids who think their shit is funny. In my old age I have become enlightened, and I listen to trance.

Yeah, same here. All mainstream BS. Can't stand that crap. If it wasn't for the radio it might not be all that bad. But once a song is a single it gets over played within 3-4 days. I'll just stick to my Lisa Lashes and Tiesto. And if people do know what trance is they automatically think I'm a drugy. Whatever they want to think I guess. I guess since they listen to mainstream I'll just assume they're all yuppie wieners.
