Right I mean, obviosly, the more popular a genre becomes, the more dillution of the sound is gonna occur. Just through peoples liking of different aspects, when some of those people produce, they're going to focus on that aspect and represent it more.
Just like math, the more you get of a population (say trance producers), the more standard deviation you're gonna get..

Eventually, when its possible to create something exactly the way you want it, not just something that is limited by the technology it is made on, we will see even more variety. Because right now to me, it sounds like trance is limited by the fact that its made with the technology of today. Like if you listen to stuff from early 90's you can tell its a lot less like the music released today, because the technology wasnt there to be able to create anything better.

i agree, but disagree too. Most people when they imagine parts, will recall a sound and modulate it a bit. So you can't really say that technology limits one's creativity. I'm sure producers today don't feel limitted by anything, and neither did those back then. I mean you can't see a dude in the middle ages going, man: i wish i had an electric guitar so i could add a nice crunchy solo on top of my lute rhythym. They'd be like "man, a harp solo over this freaky lute riff would sound harder than the nipples of a blind lesbian at a fish convention"
Then again, as music tech improves, more sounds become available, there is a bigger pot to choose from, so you can say the creativity increases...
Also, i'd like to say here, almost all software synths and programs try harder and harder with each new version to sound more and more like the vintage analogue software. So you can also argue that the technology for sound synthesis was better back then, at the same time however, sound recording and post production was very limitted back then, and is much improved now.

So in the end, this topic is pointless, because there is no way that trance should sound in particular. TO ME...the people that are constantly saying that trance isnt as good as it used to be, are just saying that because they got used to the trance that was released when they started listening, and now that its changing, and other forms of the music are becoming more popular they dont enjoy it as much as the stuff that got them interested in the first place. While others who arre just getting into it, are enjoying it as if it was the best thing ever, and they may eventually feel the same way about music that will be released in say 5 to 10 years from now.

you mean like the 12 year old kiddies teen-bopping to justin timberlake and going OMFG Justing Timerlake is "TEH BEST MUSIC EVAR"
does that mean any kind of music that makes people OMG, should be considered trance?
Then fuck it, country makes people do that, gangster rap makes people do that, even bloody fucking accordian music makes some people do that...
Through that def all music is trance...cuz it makes someone somewhere go omg.
