i think just about anyone on TA, especially from areas where trance isnt prevalent, are at least in part what you would call a type one individual. its what brings us together on many levels, this shared conspiracy. we know something the rest of the world doesnt, that trance is AWESOME and we'll talk about it and love it and the others will be left in the cold of their ignorance. so it is with any online community, i think. it makes us feel like we're a part of something big, yet subtle. naturally, we scoff at people who listen to popular music, because they have allowed themselves to be spoonfed whatever the media chooses for them. this far i agree with your theory.

I agree!

the part where i think you oversimplify is where you lump everyone else into the second group. there is actually considerable overlap between the two. for instance, i have always loved Armin and always will even if ASOT becomes shit, because i am loyal to his earlier Djing and producing. In that, i am a type 2. but i also wont deny the scorn with which i flip though local radio stations, and i definitely have music on ALL the time. I think a lot of us are like that.

ok a little newsflash here, ASOT is crap...

and i would also add a third type of music identity, the worst of the three; the dishonest listener. he's the type who listens always to to what is mainstream, but what is popular in his own local community, in this case, TA. he will jump on all the hate trains, and agrees in an argument with the winning side always; he listens to whatever genre makes him seem the most educated and sophisticated for that place and time, and he will scorn others for not doing so, calling them newbs. he maybe even fools himself into thinking he likes the music he listens to but knows in his heart he would quit listening to it if the really sophisticated people did too. i could go on but you get the idea. it's these people who are the root of most of the conflict we have on the site, and it's their personality type that causes most of the conflict in other arenas of life too. and it is all underlied by a deep deep sense of insecurity.
but who are they? and how many are they?

there are a lot of those. we call them noobs, just search
