Trance music makes me feel like peeing on the back of a bitch who apparently lied to me in almost every conversation we had.

When i'm feeling a bit down, and i listen to trance, it makes the feeling stronger (depends on what tracks you're listening too of course) When i'm feeling happy (right now actually , i get a euphoric feeling, making the happiness even bigger. Does anyone agree/has experience with this kinda thing?

Dood thats why its called trance. and there is no edm genre that comes close to it, that brings out this sad or euphoric emotions.songs like solarstone-destination,rank1-airwave,vascotia-calibro just to name a few.

Not an original topic, but it causes me to think about a few things I find interesting.

It's obvious that trance is the genre of EDM that deals with emotions much more than any other. The leads and melodies are focused on more so than the bass or the percussion (although recently with the progressive trance movement I've found more emotion and focus being on the bassline). With house the focus is on a groovey, uplifting at times but rather shallow effects when it comes to emotion. Techno, I would say is more focused on adrenaline or the thrill. The percussion is often the focus. So you have trance left over as the "emo" portion of EDM.

What I find most interesting about EDM and especially trance is that it is more solitary. It's effects for me are personal, internal and reflective. As opposed to most other forms of music where you are in a way observing the performer's emotional expression, in EDM you are experiencing the effects yourself. You are reacting to the asthetics of the sound in a way that is personal and solitary.

That is why I think it does so well on the dance floor because it's more concerned with effecting the listener rather than expressing what the artist feels.

This is why many people are fooled into thinking that trance and other forms of "techno", as they say, are not emotional. What they are confused about is that trance causes emotion where most other forms of music expresses it.

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. I had mentioned something about this or was trying to in my long posts of mine but you hit the nail on the head...esp wtih that last paragraph. You actually said it way better than I did but I was leading towards coming to this conclusion.

You have listened to a pitifully minute amount of electronic music in your lifetime.

I never understood why people who are so washed with trance think it's the emotional genre of electronic music. House is nowhere near shallow, emotion is subjective. Hell, I'm sure techno can have people feeling some sort of emotional discharge. But isn't the sole purpose of trance music to be bereft of emotion? I mean true trance music is supposed to be trance-inducing, which in effect is lacking emotion.

I dont agree with that and a majority of your post. I think any music can cause emotion, or express it, or both at the same time. I dont think any of this discussion should have anything to do with specific genres. Trance is not more emotionally expressive than any other type of music, in fact (as evident by earlier posts) it is arguably LESS emotional because of the shallow manner in which it expresses (or causes) emotion.

I'm sure any techno heads could name x amount of tracks they listen to that are deeply emotional and thought provoking. As I could with house/prog. Genres do not define the content of music, they only define a context by which you can roughly categorize songs with.
