Originally posted by Subey I'll spell it out for you. Its completely NATURAL for people to like different genres. Its completely NATURAL for people in one genre to not like another.

Can one genre not be artistically superior to another one?! Sure, you can like horror movies; however, do they have the same artistic value as art-house movies? I think not!

While artistic value is somewhat subjective (which is why critics sometimes disagree), there is a great degree of objectivity (which is why critics more often than not agree with each other). Ultimately, an experienced eye will separate the mediocre from the superior.

Sure, because this surely cannot be a forum for discussion and constructive criticism. Instead, we should uniformally praise that with which the consensus is comfortable.

While we are at it, let us also engage in personal attacks. Why not? If we feel slighted by the good taste of a significant contributor to the board, why not just smear him? Trying to win a substantive argument takes too much effort!

Very well-said.

I like trance. I dislike dutch anthem trance, I feel it is destroying the genre, so expect me to be damn loud about it.

Nothing fucks me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension.

Anthem Trance is class

I don't see how it is destroying the genre, just because it would be the most commercial sub genre of Trance.
Do explain how it is destroying the genre.

some of you guys are like a bunch of wanabe politicians arguing about world and life changing issues. why not spend your time doing something useful instead of trying to turn music into politics. their is a world outside of trance, and there is in fact more to life than internet forums and your musical preference, did you know that?
