I'm sorry but most of the people who "hate" on them do understand why they're popular. They did music who pleased the masses, and then jumped on every oportunity to build on the popularity they had gained with their music.

A whole different matter is if what they do is wrong.. but most people seem to agree they don't deserve, at all, the popularity they have currently.

There's also trance purists who resent the fact that both of these DJ's have, for the most part,stopped supporting the original form of trance. Whether you call this new stuff still trance or prog doesn't matter, there is no debate that it is different than the original form of trance they played 99, 2000ish.

I don't know what group of people you're refering to. But the reason why many "trance purists" bash them is because they never played "real trance".

(and i might just take this oportunity to admit i really jumped deep into this early 90s trance bandwagon.. after all one year and a half ago I liked Armin and the likes. but this shit sounds awesome at times )

Moreover I bought some clothes with logo of Armin Van Buuren and soon teachers started to ask me : ,,who is the person you have on your T-shirt ? " I told them it was DJ AvB, I liked him and it was a good idea to express your personality or sth like that. Another fact is that I started to listen to trance when PvD's CD ,, Raflections" appeared. Since then I've been TA. But I still search for new sounds so Tiesto, AvB are not the only DJs I like. Nevertheless I agree with you - they are really good !

I think I'd piss my pants if I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with a pic of Armin at school

I'm a huge fan of Armin, he's probably my favorite DJ. One of my favorite parts about him is that despite all his success, he still seems pretty grounded. He's not all about himself and still plays to the fans and signs a ton of autographs and such live.

I've seen Tiesto twice and both times I was very disappointed. Didn't really enjoy his sets and he was like a statue behind the decks. I do love a lot of his production though and Parade of the Athletes is one of my favorite sets.

A good way to look at it is just enjoy what music you enjoy and don't get too hung up on the opinions of others.

Armin still does seem rather "grounded", but I have been noticing him slip a little bit as time goes on. However, he still puts out a new radio show every week, with some new tunes in them pretty frequently, so, I guess as long as he does something like that, you can't hate him as much as Tiesto.

Real trance is better than it's ever been. Download a recent Precision or Manuel Le Saux set and you'll see what I mean. As for that prog most other dj's play, ya it blows ass.
