Holy shit, that was funny....

Fair point there... Trance is not to everyone's tastes. It's just the way it is...

A lot of people who disrespect Trance only listen to that chart junk on radio or MTV. Here in Europe and especially germany/switzerland there is now this remake time period where oldies are put into a more "danceable" form. some of them might be good, but the vast majority is the pure shit. and there are so many remakes at the moment. and unfortunately only those "songs" get into the charts. Hey if I wouldnt know the other part of electronical music I would think the same when I hear this bad cheesy stupid junk remakes over and over again. they are not just not good, they are plain bad, like this eminem without me junkshit and the likes..

Dude u have a similar problem to what we have down here although yours seems a bit worse. You have to realize your city may not be ready, hell maybe even your state isnt ready for the music. Theres really nothing you can do unless you take the mad challenge of being a pioneer in your region or you can always move. Down here no ones ready for REAL TRANCE, they want to hear is Sash Dj Encore and britney spears remixes so i feel your pain brother!!!

If I had only heard Zombie Nation & Sandstorm I would think trance sucks too. Fortunately there are sound samplers, Mp3's, & webstores that provide other types of trance that are not quite as dreadful.

I hear those comments all the time. It's eithier people who have only heard the commercial chesse tunes or ignorant people who have never heard trance before. Don't let it bother you, YOU listen to it becuase YOU like it and that's all that matters.

This whole issue always seems to be the worst with our American TA's. The reason for this is because there is hardly any trance scene over in the States compared to here in Europe.
Its obvious that the majority of the American population listens to Pop, Hip Hop or Rock rather than Electronic music because it is far more commercialised.
Hopefully the scene will grow over the coming years in America which will prevent all these close minded views on Trance music

Well gee, lets see, you live in UK and i live in toronto canada, you dont think there will be a difference in the music scene?
Try spinning Trance all nite in Chicago and the club will be empty . They either want euro , house or (hip-hop <-- which really sucks) ! We have to play at least six different kinds of music every nite , but at least it keeps the place full ...
