Thats true, i mean I was born in England and moved to the States in 2001 but every time i play a song for a friend they confuse it with Techno,

Got to be a troll post.

Originally posted by TechnoTranceRM Hey all, this is my first official post here and this is a question thats always been on my mind, i Personally love that trance is underrated because it makes me feel unique, only because that no one i ever talk to listens to Trance music but when I show people a few songs their always asking me to burn them a CD or give them a name of a song. I recently stumbled upon it, when i went back to England to see family in 2009 the first Trance song i heard was Chicane's Poppiholla and I was like "what is this music!!!" When i went home i just went onto youtube and looked all over the place and now i think i have built up a pretty descent library of trance music. Anyway back to the topic, I just hate what todays music with Eminem, Rhianna, Kanye, and Brittney, it just seems like Everyone and their mother is into it, I mean I like how trance is underground and it makes you feel like your more of a defined person for liking something that is barely known. I hope Trance is never ever popularized and it just stays the way it is. My favorite artists are Chicane, Mat Zo, Arty, ATB, BT, Above & Beyond, Markus Shultz, Robert Nickson, and DJ Eco at the moment. My least Favorite is Tiesto, i think hes a sellout because he collabs with people along the lines of who i just mensioned. Anywho i wasn't listening to the classic Trance back in the day and i always see how people talk on here or anywhere in general how trance music was better back then so if you guys guys could tell me a tracks or people back then that were good Id appreciate it. Trance have put a big dent into my life, i even went out and got the JP8000 synthesizer because people told me it practically gave birth to Trance.

Congrats on your discovery. Dont take the responders to this thread too seriously if they are razzing you.

Originally posted by Redd what the fuck? first 'massively popular', then calling eurodance/hard dance trance?

songs like Sash - Ecuador or ATB - 9pm to name a few, are trance and were included in many dance compilations, the same for other tracks that were just "dance" and got eventually included in some cheesy trance compilations due to their success, in any case dance and trance shared more elements than now but you found tracks like Traffic or Satellite on the top of the general charts along with the pop/rock hype of the moment, hence it was popular.

Just because a track has trancy elements and is popular doesn't make trance popular. And a track isn't trance just because it gets included in a trance compilation. Trance has never been 'massively popular'.

No, having a couple of tracks from a genre in the top 20/40 charts does not mean the genre is massively popular. And no it doesn't depend on how you define 'massively'.

500/6,800,000,000.00 = 7.4*10^-6%. I wouldn't call that a good turn out.
