alright here is the cycle that all the new songs now a days go through


1)really good song everyone loves it and thinks its so amazing

2)djs start to spin it on their sets and people enjoy it a lot

3)people buy the record becuz it is released and listen to it a lot

4)year later people HATE it and think it is the worst track, they think whoever likes it has no taste and that it is a lame ass song

examples: Agnelli & Nelson - Holding on to Nothing
PVD - Time of our lives
Tiesto - traffic
satilite (markus shulz remix)

they are played a lot..but they are good songs and just because everyone likes them doesnt mean you have to be a rebel and try to have a "unique" taste in trance

I still like Satellite. I think the reason for number 4 is that they eventually realize how stupid the song was in the first place.

Let's see. I still like Traffic & Satellite (MS RMX). I don't hate the other tracks, or think they are the worst. If someone likes them I couldn't care less. Just because they're lame to me doesn't mean they're lame to someone else. What I listen to has nothing to do with other people. Check and mate.

I guess its because Armin isnt spinning them any more

Never heard Time Of Our Lives, but I still like Holding Onto Nothing, and Traffic + Satellite were never all that great to begin with...

Holding Onto Nothing is a bit crap, and I've only ever heard it twice.

my take on these four

a&n - HOTN, still like it
PVD - its alright, but i think its a let down after nothing but you
Tiesto - only just got into this track, so i still like it
satellite - didn't like it from the start, lyrics are just too djsammy like for me

It never occurred to you some people just genuinely don't like them?

i pretty much agree with this.

this is a common theme i've seen on these boards. there are the people who listen to EDM because they like it, and then there are the people who listen because it is underground. it's the latter that aren't really worth our attention.

i think all those songs are great.

How many people have told you that they listen to music because it's not popular?
