Hey! i think (im talking on melodic/uplift) trance is just getting a diffrent stayle..and its not bad..

and the melodic trancers in prog have some great uplifting things!

stop whinning and starting gay threads like this one

if only I can be swamper for one day!

After many tries at witty response, I've decided the sarcasm would be wasted.

Oh, and as to the original post, yes.

But there are still other viable subgenres to trance. The genre as a whole is relatively healthy.

ah whatever... u guys are crazy.

u people always talk about the amazing songs that used to be produced with so much emotion, but u seem to forget that along with all those tracks that were amazing, were ALOT of crappy tracks that were released too. always gonna be the crappy ones and there's always gonna be the good ones. and the crappy will always outnumber the good. all i'm gonna say is, there are many tracks which still get me that "good ol' trance feeling"

Sunquest,
I have to agree with you there buddy. Trance is dying as a whole and has taken a nosedive ever since 2000 because of the dominance of all the other mainstream genres especially hip-hop. I can guarantee you, if you ask 10 people what they listen to,8 or probably 9 out of those 10 people will probably say hip-hop/r&b amongst other genres such as rock/pop.
To add to this, trance is interpreted by the average listener as either
a) Music appreciated by spineless coke-snorting, popping junkies.
b) Fluffy euro trance ala ATB,Ian Van Dahl,Lasgo and the like.

The above two factors have been a big blow to trance and have given it a very bad name.

The awareness of trance is very low as most of the cheese tracks overshadow the good melodic/prog trance and they are the first to pop out of a n00bs mouth on hearing the word 'trance'.
Important thing is we gotta keep fighting and the producers and DJ's gotta work in conjunction to promote quality trance together.

I agree with Sunquest. I'm still stuck in the 90's when it comes top trance.
