This is why I hate it when people use the term "cheese trance" to define epic trance stuff. Everybody has their own what the term cheese means. I agree with the definitions most of the people in this thread gave.
For me - it definitely has a negative connotation. It's like another word for "corny". The only time I would use the term cheesy with trance, is when someone is trying to create a mainstream novelty hit that just fails miserably. DJ Alligator is a great example. It's a song that is not trying to be good - it's trying to make money. 99% of the time, vocals are involved - and they're usually really really bad vocals. With these songs, even people that like them will usually admit that they are cheesy!!
When people call Ferry Corsten, Rank 1 or Armin Van Buuren cheesy, I have a problem with that. These are producers with a big fan base that seriously likes their music. It's unfair to say something is cheesy just because it's not progressive or because its not the music you like. Same goes for any other trance artist, epic, progressive, whatever.
Whenever I see threads where people are ripping on a type of trance (usually epic trance), calling it cheesy, I usually consider those people to be posers, who only like the music to be trendy. People who need to put down other people's tastes to justify their own... I'll never understand that
