I know that hip-hop and rock are genres that have a culture too, but it has become the 'in' thing to be a part of these cultures, so along with the genuine die-hard fans, you have all the posers. Last time i checked you aren't automatically cool or accepted if you listen to Trance , at least thats how it is where I'm at. I remain a beacon among the House and Rnb addicts around me.

It's getting in...

It's becoming cool... becuase it's COOL to be seen in a car with 12'' subs blaring on 1000W Fusion Amps, and with Kicker Subs...
wiith a BRROOO....*DOOF....*DOOF....*DOOF....OOOOMMM>.... sound as u drive past

It's becoming cool becasue going out clubbing and dancing, is seen as a better social life for a person (fair 'nuff... but as long as u like the music)...

It's becoming cool....... And that's why here in Asutralia Free-to-air TV plays SHIT, COmmercial DANCE.. (little trance),,, interestingly, they played Tiesto's stuff sometimes...

Pity most people go for the commercial crap, becasue they just want to be cool, and have no idea what GOOD TRANCE is... seriously.. it's fucking up the music.... everything is gonna get mixed up.. and people will get shit impressions of trance....

Me too...
It's difficult to explain why the addiction in words. It's all about the feelings, emotions & energy

i think i got used to the repetetiveness so easily because the first track i ever remember liking was 2 unlimited - no limit, and that was so repetitive that anything else seems to have quite a bit of variation (except Paul Johnson - Get Down), Don't really remember being into music before that

i agree
i've been to a lot of house clubs, which i like too, but after being at a trance night its hard to go back, house just doesn't make me feel the same way
unfortunately house is so much more popular, trance is hard to find

i would listen to trance 24 hours a day if i could...im a true addict, and in the process if turning newcomers onto my favorite music EVER

Well, the people who don't like Trance don't like Trance because they don't know what a melody is. This happened to me. I gave somebody a Trance song and they said they don't like it. I said listen to the melody. They went: "What hell is a melody????".

To the main topic....I guess it's hard to explain why we are so addicted to Trance. I personally think that once you like Trance it changes the way we listen to music. I could listen to Pop music and like it because of the melody. But nothing beats Trance.

+1

Does anyone else find that they go through a period where they don't enjoy the music at much (sometimes it feels like nothing),

then there's other times where u can't get over it, it's just so fucking good. A track u never liked fucking hits u like a Airliner landing on top of ur head...

I find that the best time to listen to tracks u don't like is when ur really fucking tired... yet comfortable ( i remember waking up at night and listening to an ASOT episode, and loving this track I never really liked before)... i sometimes leave my Mp3 player on overnight, so i listen to the music as i sleep.... sweet dreams... should try it sometimes...

omfg i love you guys.....where the hell are you in Miami!!!! I need to meet more tranceaddicts like you guys!!!!!! Electronica is amazing! I listen to it everywhere, although trance is my favorite right now. I think it's true that we really do seem more addicted than othere ppls, but whatever. I look at it this way...they are missing out....plain and simple guys. They are missing out. I'm trying to convert some of my friends but it's hard down here in Miami with the strong rap and hip hop influence.

Ha ha..

i always thought that EDM was big in Mimai, with the radio stations playing dance, and paris hilton getting bood for raggin "TECHNO"

When i first came on TA, I had the same feelings as u..

Australia is worse than US...

things here are commercial.. this country has no music culture, it follows only America, and anyone else who's doing well in the world.

You are correct. I know for sure that INTJs love anything melodic. They are the type of personality to get bored easily. Also, smarter people tend to love anything melodic.

And since I'm biased, I'm going to say that the best people on earth listen to EDM.
