Commercial product; a product that is made or released to make money.

in alot of contexts people use commercial when they mean mainstream.

I miss when we realized that we were all part of the masses, rather than being so full of ourselves thinking that we are some higher class that was allowed to constantly bitch about the general population.

I like music made for the masses, I like commercial products, I like sharing a lowest common denominator with alot of people, horay for mass produced cheap crap, cheap crap for everybody yay pop music.

I just can't help but enjoy the music, I dont pay attention to its status at all, I have a certain tase but somtimes its for stuff on the top40 radio and sometimes random songs made from complete unknowns stumbled upon through the internet. I also like other musics that are considered cooler on here, I dont think that they are necessarily incompatible with each other the way lots of other people seem to think. I dont bother judging a style against its history or anything like that, there is plenty of time for me to listen to alot of music so I really find no need in ranking genres over others. Why does it matter if trance is popular or underground?

Behold, my arse.

"trance = mainstream EDM"

OMG, STFU. Here in America, Ashlee Simpson sold the most records in 2004. Now, honestly...can you really compare ANY trance DJ with Ashlee FUCKING Simpson? Mainstream? Nobody even knows WHAT THE FUCK trance is. We, in our secluded little niche on the internet discuss songs that MAYBE 2 to 3 million Americans have even HEARD of. The reality is that there has been two trance (arguably) songs that have transcended the EDM genre into mainstream American culture. Darude's Sandstorm, and DHT's Listen to Your Heart. If you wanted to argue, one more could be Castles In The Sky by Ian Van Dahl. Andy Moor is not mainstream, comercialized cheese. HAHA. I'd like to see a survey of Amercians who even KNOW who he is. I'm guessing on about 2 to 2 1/2 mill. people. Whereas Ashlee Simpson, or Alicia Keys, or Nickelback or any of the top 200 would probably get about 200 million. Every genre of music is filled with artists who want to make money and be successful. Every song, that has ever been recorded, was made by someone who had dreams of that song being heard all over the world by millions of people. Saying a song is comercial because it was made just to 'make money,' is a stupid fucking naïve statement by a pathetic fanboy whining bitch. Trance, at least in America, is not even in the lower echelon of sub popularity (what POP actually means). Like what you like, and stop categorizing and recategorizing what you like every few years after determining its' place in your pretentious hierarchy of trance appurtenance.
