"hey what kinda music u listen to"
'trance'
"dont u have to be a drug addict for that?"


well ive pretty much started to ignore are ppl's opinions, truthfully i can listen to anything for a little while, even the radio, but after like 10 min or so its just boring. ofcourse there are other who are clueless and dont give trance a chance.

i was at work the other day and someones like 'i listen to trance' ..oh cool u see tiesto 'ya it was ok i guess' hey u got anything to listen to *busts out i think at LEAST 30 cds with nothing but alice dj/sandstorm/buncha other garabage...lol i just turned on radio after that

I love it when people talk about trance being "commercialized". All I have to say is come to the U.S. and visit the Midwest. Hardly anyone I know has ever heard of "Sandstorm". And those who have are DJ's and hardcore club types. There is NO trance music here at all. You go to a club - expect hip hop or house, cuz that's the extent of it.

On the bright side, people consider me to be "alternative" because I like trance. It's my own little thing and I kind of like it that way. I get little criticism because nobody's ever heard my music.


What I do hate though, is when you come across the occasional person who does know something about the scene and tells you that "trance is out" and that I should be listening to (fill in the blank). Now, I can deal with people's tastes whether they like Britney or the Baha Men, assuming that they actually like the stuff. But I HATE when people only like something because it's trendy. I mean, come on... I'm not going to stop listening to trance just because Mixmag says that it's "out" Give me a break!!

see why do ppl care what others think of trance, let them bash trance....or simply tell them off...your choice. But who the fuck cares what others think of your music, hell listen to it anyway...play it loud as hell and move on with life.

i agree. There are many people out there who are into different types of music. Who cares if people don't like the music you listen to, it's not like you're making them listen to it. I read posts where people on this site don't like the "trance haters" but then go around and say hiphop sucks or pop sucks it goes both ways you know.

I kinda like the way that trance is not popular in where we live today. We're unique people living in our respective cities. We listen to music that hardly anyone within a 20 mile radius listens to cuz we're special in our own way. We're mysterious and I personally think that's cool. Foregt everyone else.

Trance is a mental thing. I like trance cuz out of all the other things that I ever listened to, I have to listen to a lot of words to understand music. Trance is more of a journey thing. It somehow organizes my life in the weirdest way. I vision things through trance music. Without it I'm lost.

I admit when I first heard trance I thought to myself, "What is this piece of junk that plays continuous beats over and over again." I honestly don't know why I gave it a chance, but I'm glad I did. Trance is the only thing I play. I play it when I'm on-line, play it when I eat, play it when I go to school, play it on the way back, and even play it in my sleep. People around me ask, have you heard the new Eminem, like I'm supposed to know what their talking about.

Sometimes I wish I could share trance to people around me, but we all know that's not gonna happen cuz trance is given a bad rap. (i.g.- It has repetitive beats, it should be played only at a club, only at night, only when you're messed up, etc). I'm pretty sure that alot of people listen and like trance to a certain extent but don't want to express themselves because of the negativity that it's been given. To me trance is not dead, it's just mistakenly informed.

I'm always glad to share my thoughts to trance lovers @ tranceaddict and I hope this site stays alive forever. It is this site that got me to prefer DJ's like Armin, Ferry, PvD, Tiesto and many more. I honestly don't know where I'd be without this site. Glad to be here. Keep on Trancin. Peace to you all.

just one thing to say : I LOVE TRANCE

In France there isn't any trance scene or trance clubs, it's really sad but I'll resist, whatever people can say about trance

ALL of my mates dislike trance, the main criticism being that it is too repetitive and boring. They believe that there is no skill involved in 'making a track sat at a computer' and feel no emotions from the music at all. Even absolute classics rarely provoke a positive response!

Typically there are some that like the cheesy stuff and there are a couple that like anything hard, fast or generally mental. But they're complete metal whores! They pretend to like my own productions though

Still, I suppose I can't blame them for not liking trance. I personally hate metal with a passion - it seems like every song is a mish-mash of distortion, random chords and screaming!

Sorry, this was a bit of a lame rant.

It's funny. I say I listen to trance and I hear techno sucks or dance sucks. I tell them it's not the same thing but they claim it is but when I say name a song then I hear Castles In The Sky and Sandstorm. Not that these songs aren't good (were good actually, when they weren't overplayed to s#it) but all they hear is the radio mixes and the crap remixes they feel like playing on the radio. Everyone hates something and theres nothing you can do about it.



There are haters everywhere deal with it.

some people cant handle the emotions that one gets out of this music... alot of it is intense to first timers... unless they can hear it in the correct setting, i think a lot of people get turned off.. i also often hear that it is to uplifting or not very masculine from guys... anyways, most of the people i show trance to like it a lot... give it time... its still relatively new

Because they didn't understand the trance music emotions. they arent trancers or tranceaddicts.
