My fiancee doesn't like to listen to it because she can't sign along. She likes to dance to it but can only keep it up for a short period. That's fine by me because when I go out she stays home and I don't have to worry about making sure she has a good time.

i think that generally girls don't give edm a chance or if they do, they stick to trance and cheese b/c it's the most similar to pop music in the states (i.e. britney) with its vocals.

i like my cheese at times cuz sometimes you just want to belt out some stupid ass lyrics ("you came on cupids wings and then you flew away"), but i also like the dark and dirty beats of house and the funky sounds of sander and i'm now finding that there is some techno (minimal/melodic - hawtin, villalobos) that i enjoy. girls just gotta give other genres a chance.

I know you sing 'Shivers' when it's on, don't lie!

can i get an AMEN

I love trance, but the majority of my friends don't. When I ask them why, they say things like 'Isn't everyone that listens to EDM on drugs?', or 'It all sounds the same'. Similar comments from the guys and the chicks. I think what they say reflects stereotypes that maybe put people off anything other than some Britney Spears 'club mix' before giving the music a chance.

Having said that, the few friends I do have that enjoy trance are male. My female friends (bar a couple of them) just aren't that in to music in general. They'll have background music sometimes, but the passion and the enthusiasm isn't there.

Why? There is an evolutionary psychology theory suggesting that men become involved in music and the arts to increase their accessibility to attractive women. But if you've read what I've got to say about evo psych in the 'why do men like boobs' thread, you'll guess that I don't buy this one...but it's a theory.

Yeaaaaa where are all the trance girls?
