just because you yell and cuss and swear and call armin's work commercial crap, is NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY OPINION about him. he's still going to be #1 in my book and yet another day is still in my top 10 favorite tunes of 2002.
that's exactly what i hate about this forum - some people think what they listen to is so cool, that they try to force their opinion onto others.

why do we always need to categorize everything? what's the use of genres, and now even types of tranceaddiction?!! 
besides, according to tiestointhemix a pro tranceaddict is not afraid to play and listen all kinds of electronica but shuns every form of cheese.. kind of paradoxical, isn't it? moreover, i'm very picky about the tracks i like, but these tracks cover all sorts of music styles. but, says tiestointhemix, i definitely haven't reached the supertranceaddict level yet, because a supertranceaddict likes nearly every tune that comes out! 
this is just pathetic and ridiculous. let us forget about every category and listen to whatever we like..

i'm afraid the sense of sarcasm is about to become extinct in this world and become replaced by narrow-mindedness. that "categorization" was a simple joke, just to make people realize how naive and hypocritical they are. no one can ever be completely categorized into one or many categories, because people's tastes are simply unique. what i was saying is just a diagnosis of the problem - STOP DISSING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR TASTES! stop forcing your opinions onto others! why are you trying to change the world?
people are JUMPING BANDWAGONS everyday. sure, maybe tiesto spins same techno tracks and trainwrecks transition after transition, but i will NEVER say he sucks and hate him, because i respect his work before that. same with oakey. it's the tipping point effect - you have enough people to say some dj rocks, everyone else starts believing that. when enough people start hating that dj, most start hating him/her too.
the problem is the lack of confidence, the fear of being flamed for what you like. so WHAT? it's just a forum. even IRL, someone says the music you listen to is shit - what makes THEM so cool? yes, i like atb, now what? someone is gonna insult me, i might probably counter-insult them. but then when i'll say i like yves deryuter and filterheadz, that same person will praise me. by saying that all trance is commercial piece of shit, you're stereotyping. just like racism. sexism. homophobia. maybe not so severe, but close. YOU CAN'T ARGUE ABOUT TASTES! each and every single of us is unique, and, trust me, you are not better than anyone else just because you listen to a particular genre of music.
