Want to hear new, different stuff? Go to a site like www.thesixtyone.com and check out the electronic section. All kinds of new music coming out there, which may or may not be what's "Cool at the moment".
I find any time I sit in one Genre for too long, it just gets boring. That's obvious. I also find the question "why can't songs be like what they used to be like - creative, original, and inspired!?" painful to hear; I mean - there ARE new things being done, new sounds being explored - but you can't expect it to always work in the standard trance format. These "great original songs" were great and original for the TIME AND PLACE they were released. You could release a HEAP of what is being done today back then, and the result would be the same. It caught you at a new time, a new moment in your life - that time and moment is gone now, and you just don't realize that it's more than the music that has shifted 
There is plenty of great stuff, listening wise, out there. Unfortunately, this music doesn't make any money, unless you're a big DJ, and being spun in the clubs. What do clubs want? The same old, drinking, money making crowd. You find the same thing in any other club - top 40, hip hop, rock - why would this genre be any different? Do you see fantastic, original, breathtaking movies coming out of Hollywood often? You go to the small guys, the poor guys, to get the goods. If you want a real change to happen, put your money into the small artists you find, the venues that support them, and boom - you initiate change. Otherwise...
Go to OTHER places - subculture events, underground parties, etc. People who aren't making any money are taking LOTS of risks. Music is like every other effort in humanity; LOTS of competition, LOTS of good, LOTS of crap, and lots of people asking for the best without really doing much to get it |

It's always been about Techno! There's enough funky techno to get the Housers swaying and shaking their asses, and there's enough banging Techno with melodies to get the Trancers glowsticking and rubbing each other's back with Vicks.
To me it sounds like you were solely into Trance back in the day, and didn't listen to many other genres of EDM. I could be wrong, but you say that you like Tribal and Techno and some house now. Why not back then? Why not some breaks or DnB? and not now, as in today, but back then? When you throw yourself strictly into any genre..SOLELY...there comes a time when you start to venture off because it all starts sounding the same...and for all the reasons that have been previously mentioned. There's some good trance out there still, I've heard some. But it's few and far in between, because nowadays it's about quantity..and not quality. When you had to fork out $15-20/record as opposed to $1 or download for free, dj's were alot more picky about what they would spend their $$ on.
