Jenny just wants to push people's buttons today (and every other day, but especially today), so I wouldn't take any of her posts seriously.

Sarah: I phrased it that way because this exact same discussion's been had in every sub-forum several times; I keep seeing it again and again even though I only check the forums sporadically now. To pretend you don't actually know the answer either means you've been totally oblivious to this forum's content and to the industry at large for 5 straight years, or you're having trouble accepting the well-known truth. Or, as Cosmic Fur pointed out, maybe you were trying to instigate something. That's not an accusation, just a logical 3rd possibility.

As for the comments that trance DJs magically bring their fans to emotional bliss and are treated as gods because of this inexplicable power, you all know that's a load of horse shit. Even if we put aside the fact that a piece of carpet fuzz can instill giddy euphoria in somebody who's sufficiently mashed, all the trance DJs are actually doing is stringing together tracks born out of someone else's creativity and sweat, often doing a very poor job of it. It's rare indeed that a DJ adds anything original to the pre-existing work, and the ones who do are usually not the ones treated as gods.

And no, I'm not insinuating that this is unique to trance DJs, because it isn't. The point is that the differences are inherent in the musical structure and in the fans' personalities, not the talent or style of the DJ.

an interest in a genre of music has to start somewhere. it's like when i here people say that metallica or dragonforce are the hardest metal known to man. its not, its just the most mainstream and easily accessible so it seems that way. The way people are talking its as if the fans of a certain type of music are a religion or political affiliation that never changes, or that they were born a pretentious music asshole. Peoples tastes in music are always evolving and changing and trying to slander people for liking one thing and label them accordingly is like punching the air.

i still like metallica but im posting on these forums so my tastes have expanded a bit since i was 14 but im not going to deny my roots either.

i don't care what others say. i am open to others opinions but to say im not a musician because i don't enjoy what i used to? how does that make any sence? so if eric clapton used to like the opera and says he hates it now, does that mean he is not a musician anymore? just say u don't agree with me, don't make ridiculous comments that make no sence.

LOL seriously. Completely missing the point.

That's a good analogy, really. Like religion or politics, you have a majority of fence-sitters with weak preferences who prefer the status quo, a sizable number of fringe groups who are totally batshit crazy with their narrow preferences and hatred of any other group, and a tiny minority of people who actually think for themselves. And, like religion or politics, everybody thinks that they're in the 3rd group, and the 2nd group is particularly unrelenting in its quest to prove it.

It's just human nature. And before anyone pipes up - statistically, each genre has about equal proportions of each group.

How about the possibility that I haven't spent much time debating such a thing in my head over the last 5 years?

I'm sorry I wasted your time with such an obvious question!

Why even argue? I think it's pretty clear that Diginut knows your motives/intent MUCH better than you do.
