Techno and Trance are gay and repetitive

Yeah.... I bet the subject caught your attention didn't it???

Well... now u know what it's like....

I live in Australia, and believe me, Trance is very unfamiliar to people down here. In fact, apart from some of my mates, there isn't anyone in this country I've met yet that really likes Trance... Other than the commercial stuff Like Skitz Mixx, and Wild FM, which are almost always just "10 second trance", which a lot of people here seem to only listen to because they want to be cool (thouh they probably still won't know sort of musci they're listening to).

If anyone asks me what sort of music I listen to, I always say techno, because if u say trance... they won't know what ur talking about.... People don't have a clue what the differnce between House, PsyTrance, Trance, Breakbeat, Techno, Acid Jazz, etc is... Mention Electronica, no-one will have a clue what that is.:sadgreen:

Usually, people here are just listening to what everyone else is listening to... I get ragged by rockers and Rappers the most for my music preferences. EDM (no-one knows what that is) here is called "Techno ". I'm told it's repetitive crap... and it's not music at all, just stuff made by a computer... I'm told to "listen to REAL music, not stuff made by computers". People will make all kinds of fun out of ya down here...:sadgreen:

I'm curious to know what attitudes are like overseas.... And I need somethign to respond to when others when they make such comments. What the hell do u guys do in environments like this??? Trance is good music, it shoudl be promoted without loosing it's touch....

Suggestions anyone??? :eyespop:

Doesn't happen a whole lot in Holland that people don't know what Trance is, but I've been in the US for a year and over there I usually either say Trance and let them figure out what it means or if I want to get rid of them I'll just say Techno, although that is usually associated with all sorts of weird things.

Which part of oz u living in?

I would say most people in australia who like EDM have become jaded, the psy ppl hate the techno ppl, the prog ppl hate someone else so on and so fourth.

I would say australia had a very healthy trance scene and its only getting better. At the end of the day you wont get half the population liking one type of music, its just like wanting them all to like the same color.
Musical tastes are personal and i really couldnt care if many people dont like the same as i do. At the end of the day its about yourself and what pleases you.
