I agree. When I was 19, I loved uplifting trance. Then my father passed away and I got into darker, more dirty proggy house. I hated the happy shit, but as I have matured in my taste, so has my choice in trance. I like very particular things about trance or proggy house, and for those peculiarities, the music will never get old. I was in love with trance/house/proggy long before I knew what it was. Some people aren't as musical as others, so of course the fad gets old for them. I don't give a fuck. I'll hit the club solo if my friends bail on me, just to here a dj.

I do agree with this to an extent. While I still like trance, I am far more picky now as to which ones I do like. For every 10 trance tunes I hear I might only REALLY like one. I know that the teens who have posted and said they absolutely love trance will believe that they will always love it. This might be true for some of them. But what I do know is that from about aged 14 to 21 I loved trance as much as anybody - eat, sleeped and breathed it, hated people who knocked it.

But then without realising it, I sort of moved more and more into other genre's. And then it dawned on me about 12 months ago that the last few cd's I was raving about weren't trance cd's. Don't get me wrong. I still really enjoy trance and when up against any other single genre, I would still pick trance first. But where as before, trance was the only sound I listened to and cared about, now half my time is spent listening to trance, the other half techno, prog, electro.

Oh and I think that when I started clubbing about 3 years ago this had a big influence on what I started to like and dislike

And then all of you will grow up a bit more and realize that thinking you´re more mature just because of moving to another genre was completely wrong.

I've never said this, never felt like I'm more mature. Just pointing out that like many people on here, my passion for trance has died down, even though I never thought it would. I don't in anyway feel like I know better than those younger than me. Each individual likes what he/she likes and thats fine. But where as many will feel that they will never ever calm down about trance, some almost certainly will.

Incidentally, I wish I was still as passionate as I use to be, because nowadays, no style of music - trance or otherwise, gives me that feeling that I used to get with trance.

im 21. when i was about 11 i liked the tunes coming on the radio that i consider trance...robert miles - children, one on one etc. but i never really got into music that much at 11.

around 99' when i was 14 i watched kevin and perry and loved the soundtrack so went online and downloaded loads of stuff, all the ferry, tiesto tunes i could find etc...

02' - september 05' i discovered hardcore and drifted away from listening to trance.

then september last year i started listening to ASOT for the first time and i loved most of the vocally uplifting 'cheesy' tracks. i found that armin gets the same kind of hate that djs such as breeze and styles get in the hardcore community.

now i've stopped getting hardcore records over getting trance ones. i like too much to say what style i like though, i like a bit of everything. and ive also been to a couple of trance events which ive wanted to do for ages : gabriel and dresden, and armin. both were most quality.

just turned 21.

got into trance around the late 90s.

go over it about 2004.

then I got into the really bog-prog on my ass sort of stuff.

got over that, and moved onto the darker edgeier heavier stuff, like electro-tek-house-breaks etc.

sick of all that, I am currently and moving towards more melodic/ uplifting house.

there has always remained a soft spot for the energy of Paul van Dyk sets.

and recently, my faith in Trance (tek-trance or whatever) has recently been renewed by watching Eddie Halliwell in January and listening to some of Sander van Doorn's sets.

throughout all this. there are some timeless sets and CDs that sound good no matter what phase I am going through. proof I guess that quality will always reign, no matter what style it is.

Giving it a break can fix it. For me, it has worked! I´ve listened to the "old trance" where many tracks were made in a day (or a couple of hours), without taking care how perfectly the track sounds. Then, maybe a year and a half ago, I had a period in my life when I was not able to hear every big choon that´ve just came out. When I´ve "came back", I had to "understand" first how the music has moved and how it sounds now, what are the new trends etc.. Although, it was quite tough, the "new" stuff sounded bit generic to me and I was not able to appreciate the sound.

Next thing is, that I´m a dj, so I´m not just a "passive" listener. The effort which you invest in your hobby, love and passion keeps you awake and prevents you from boredom - for me, this works as well. I like the new ways in the music, new concepts, and still think trance can offer some great stuff.

It´s a bit like a human relationship. If you love someone/something, you have to give it something from yourself and some real effort to keep the passion alive - otherwise it´ll die, soon or later.

Yes, giving it a break can help. In some ways, for me, enjoying other genres of dance means that when I do listen to trance, I appreciate it more for what it is. But I don't think I'll ever get back to the stage where its all I'm playing every day. Not enough tunes out there excite me anymore to do this.

because it's obvious that black people don't listen to trance

im 17 right now, 18 in 0ctober

I think the best trance was produced before 2003. after that things started to sounds the same as each other. im more into progressive house, or french housey stuff, but sometimes a good trance tune comes out which i like.
