EDM is watered down to attract crowds who calls everything techno.

And everyone knows it as drug music. I hate people that listen to EDM just because it enhances their high. What kind of drug addict are you if you need music to do your drugs!

You are to blame for listening to said radio shows and mainstream DJs, not the other way around.

The genre of trashy pop is in all realms of music, including you're beloved EDM. If you can't find a decent radio show or DJ set on the internet... you're not looking hard enough, bottom line.

The pop EDM scene serves some purpose, it probably grabs some listeners who would have otherwise ignored EDM. Many of us started listening to garbage but its our responsibility to move on and dig deeper.

The things that kinda is annoying about how watered down it mainstream EDM is tthat at my school, I was the literally the only person that listened to trance and house, well except for everyone who knew like sandstorm or whatever and thought that they were legit. Everyone started to catch on to the music I was listening to, and naturally, like almost every genre, they got the mainstream things first, and now thats the only thing they listen to, and I'll give them some really good underground type of stuff and they will hate it. Obviously the main stream is there to catch people and get them into the genre, but the problem, or at least as it appears to me, is that there is no link from that to underground and more hardcore one might say music.

Forcing the people who appreciate more than a happy melody, driving percussions and formulatic arrangements into smaller and smaller groups.



Dissapointed to read this from you. Trance is not all that easy to make. It's just that at a certain point in time, some labels decided to sign all this crap wannabe Trance music. You've proven yourself wrong by mentioning ASOT and Sean Tyas and defining that as Trance. The Trance I like is definetely not so much easy to make. Sure, maybe it's easier than making a deep tech-house track, but making a real Trance track is definetely not as easy to produce, as you make people believe it is.

No.. It is not, i think every genre in EDM is as hard as another when it comes to making it sound good.

My statement is against the "new" trend of trance, and not trance itself.
