Well, I don't have a problem with "Ginos", but I do have a problem with something they tend to do.. and that is this:
I live just north of Markham, and for all of you who have been to Markham should know that there are a lot of "ginos".. considering Markham is close to woodbrige.. they're cousins! ANYWAZE, I tend to see this repetitive act of "trying" to fit in with our genre "trance". I notice that these groups of people (ginos) have a love for freestyle and Euro. Now, correct me if Im wrong, but euro has a few of the same elements as trance does, which is why I can understand that they are getting into it. BUT, it's ignorance if you think about it.. because they don't really know anything about it, where it came from, how it grew, what people have gone through for our love of Trance. I don't think they really appreciate it as much as we do, and Im pretty sure 80% of them only listen to it, because it's gone commercial on channels such as 103.5 (a proud sponsor of HOT SUMMER RUSH), and only 20% listen to it because they actually like it... in the end.. they all end up liking it because it grows on them. The point is this: My definition of a gino is someone who USUALLY comes from an italian decent, a gino is something you are labelled because of the wod of grease that's put in your hair that runs down the back of your neck, the tight jeans that could fit your sister, a pathetic vocabulary that contains words such as "BRO, SOLID, EEEEASY BUDDY.. etc.", someone who drives a cheap car that has been attempted to look "expensive", and last but not least... a gino is someone who tries to fit in with the times, and copies whatever is popular at that point in time.. wether it be clothes, sayings, or MUSIC!!!... 
Now, I feel bad writing this whole thing, because I honestly don't have a problem with "ginos", I've met some really funny, nice, and respectful "ginos" in my time.. and not all of them are how we percieve them. I do agree with the fact that they tend to "like" whatever is good at that time.. GUARANTEED if they started playing METALLICA on 103.5 for awhile.. and hyped it up, you would see ginos blaring Metallica.. that's just how they are, and there is nothing wrong with it. I am glad that Trance is picking up these days and getting bigger, and more and more people are noticing it because it deserves to be noticed, but I really don't like POSERS!!!!!
One last thing...It also bothers me how they play really crappy trance on radio stations that these people listen to (103, 92.5, etc..)because there are sooooooooooo much better tracks then what they play... if your going to play it.. PLAY THE GOOD STUFF, not this cheese material... it's pure ignorance, and it doesn't educate the listeners on what TRANCE really is, and how powerful it can be, and this is why we have these sorts of "clans" invading our scene. Don't get me wrong... I KNOW ANYONE IS WELCOME INTO THE RAVE SCENE (Hence PLUR).. but I t hink you all know where Im getting at... and Im tired of typing. This is a subject that could go on for months...because there are so many aspects.
*BREATH*... Thanks

My friend I agree with everything you say, specialy about the stupid radio staions we have here. I mean god there are sooooooo many great trance songs they could play,but NOOO they have to play the shity ones, and oh yes Gino's are big time followers.as you said if they anything even like play Marlyn Manson(Iam not saying he is bad ) on 103.5 they'll start playing that shit too.But in way it is good that they are not playing real Trance music on radio,I personally want to see trance music to be underground, even though that wont happen. I mean I really dont wanna see some Dude bud bro playing Johan Gielen in his car, because I know that they dont know shit about his music,and they just play it becuase it is has nice beats!?!?!?!? all Iam saying is that there is no appriciation
for the music. I've seen this many times, eg. At Guv when Ferry Corsten was here, I see these naked Gino's just standng around doin nothing,I was dancing my ass off, and they were giving me looks as if I was crazy or something, and one of them came up and asked me "eeh ehh bro who is the Dj??" I goooot so pissed
I mean wtf?? why are u here if u dont care?Iam telling you If we get less of the people who dont give a shit for music , and just there to pick up girls, there will alot of room for us to dance and show our love for Trance music!!!
I know alot of you would agree with me with this.
