My friends always used to say that to me, so I made them each listen to a trance track, for most of them I picked Andain - Summer Calling (Airwave Rmx) and now pretty much all of them understand it much more and aren't ignorant about it. People just dont have enough exposure to it, they just think of the few tracks that have made it really big on radio and base everything on that. |
Thats exactly what i said. Not enough exposure. I really know how it feels cause i live in redneck capital, USA and all they listen too is country or they ride around trying to be Gs |

If that fails, offer them some coke. |
me and my mates are all boy racers, so we all love cruisin to some nice drum and bass. yesterday a mate goes to me "Trance is e. its got no bass". i goes... "If trance had no bass it wud be like listenin to a trance choon u just made which wudnt be verry nice. hes like, no trance has got bass. all of a sudden everyone else is sayin the same. There is no bass in trance at all. so we all goes to the car and i stick on Joyenergizer full volume with the sub connected to the amp, as high as it will go. haha, the result was fantabulous! |

I was once confronted by some kids about my trance-listening ways.

For some reason, that shut em all up - I guess they were at a loss for words in the presence of such Trance! :happy2:
But really - most of what people seem to want to listen thesedays ('pop' music by definition of 'POPular') consists of boring crap written by people who don't know dick about music. With trance, it's universal - it takes serious talent to make an electronic song sound really good and it takes even more talent to make one that people will find catchy and want to dance to. It doesn't matter what language you speak when it comes to trance - you don't need to understand what the song is trying to convey without words - it's open to interperetation and isn't limiting the listener to how somebody feels sad because their girl left them forever (or whatever crap you can think of to touch the hearts of young teenage school-girls). Most people who listen to trance, I mean really LISTEN, will come to understand something more about what makes us tranceaddicts tick - how many other kinds of music unite people in such a way? |
Man, one of the best things I've read about listening to electronic music...
I could be glad to find a site with thinkings, texts and quotes like this ...

guess i'm lucky... most of my friends don't listen to trance, house, ambient or idm (my faves), but they listen to equally scattered musics in rock or jazz: so we just talk about things we've heard in the styles we like (finding similar stuff, ideas, etc)
the "tum ts tum ts" and the "all music are the same" remarks are the same people made about rock music... actually, almost ALL those comments are the same people made about any new (relatively speaking) kind of music... sorta ironic, but it wouldn't surprise me if the people saying that had the same thing said to them about the music they like.
dunno what the situation is like where u r, but here in Vancouver a lot of radio stations play rock music from the 70's and 80's... b-o-r-i-n-g far as i'm concerned, but since i listen to stuff at clubs or on Essential Mix, Global Underground, etc, i doubt i'm a big concern.
i still listen to some rock music (saw Mogwai a couple years ago at Richards (local club) and really enjoyed their low-key approach), but find EDM way more "fresh" sounding... most (tho not all) rock stuff sounds recycled from other bands... i think there's a large amount of people who grew up listening to "rock-only" who don't like it that life isn't that simple any more when it comes to "what music are u into?"... too many choices means that u can't just say: "whatever-band-is currently-cool rulez!"
oh yeh... you'd asked for some responses:
"yeh, i remember when i had my first beer"
"i like to think of it as sonic architecture"
"i can't hear u... gone deaf from dancing in front of the PA system too much"
"what do you mean, "it's repetitive"? it's repetitive? like over and over? the same thing? again and again? always repeating?"
"it's SUPPOSED to sound like that? i thought the CD was skipping..."
"please forgive me for enjoying this... from now on i'll slavishly agree with everything you like so you don't feel threatened"
"wait, i'm sure i have a nickelback cd... i use it as a coffee coaster"
"you're right, East L.A. gangsta rap is much more relevant to the life i live. YO! can i borrow your baseball cap?"
sorry... still kinda sleepy... not that i'm much funnier when awake. |
