That happened to me 1 and a half months after I joined this forum.
That was about a year or so after I started listening electronic music, but only about half a year after I stopped calling it all "techno" and started learning the genres. So I guess "trance lasted me about half a year. Since then I've been whipping through the gunres. I'm wondering what will happen when I run out, because I sure dont seem to be finding one that I never get tired of...
Maybe I'll end up creating my own. |
Same here. Listened to trance about 6 months, after I listened through Oakey's '99 sets it got old. Fast. Tiesto never interested me at all. Got into John Digweed thanks to his Homelands '01 set, and slowly Sasha's older style in their back2back sets, and later got interested in what he's like when he's spinning alone. Since then it's been back and forth between prog, breaks, electro and techno, pretty much. Always alittle Oakenfold-trance/Northern Exposure- series/Sasha & Digweed GU sprinkled in here and there. Aphex Twin is brilliant too.
Zabiela I'll never get sick of. |

| If you listen to anything non-stop it gets boring. I was listening to trance for about 18 months, constantly buying new records, but eventually it dried up. Big compilations like Gatecrasher and Euphoria largely stopped putting stuff out, so I couldn't find any new trance to listen to at home. I have tons of trance, but I've played most of it so much I'm bored of it, and only when I dig up an album I haven't heard in ages does it sound fresh again. |

Not exactly true, I always switch between Trance and Goa if I get tired of one style. But I think it also helps if you listen to several music styles, even non-electronic ones. The more difersity you have the more you appreciate good trance or goa if you listen to it again.
A bit off-topic: Hi Cinos, nice to see you here! |

Now and then I feel this way, but the reason I like EDM, and probably always will, is that it's not as mainstream as the other stuff. So when I go to the supermarket and have to listen to regular radio, or go to a friends and hear hip-hop or classical rock, then going back home and putting on my stuff is welcome relief. It's just so much better than all the other stuff.
And besides that, EDM has tons of different genres of its own. Some days I feel like House (a lot recently), some days ambient/minimalistic, some days I just want the solid prog sound. So I can move around within the same music type. |

I think getting in to the military for a while is a good way taking a break from trance. Before I went to do the military service I listened to trance about 3-4 hours a day,,and I got pretty sick of it after a while.
But now when I come home for my timeoffs I enjoy listening to trance more than ever,you don't get very much time to listen to it while youre on duty (at least not me)
but just don't listen to me I can be full of crap :) |

| It happens to most people I think and you just branch off and you become more of an EDM addict. I still love trance but I don't listen to it 24.7 like I used but I think that is progress and you are moving on. |

Yeah, I can see some people start getting tired and bored of it, and it just doesn't feel the same. For me, about 99.9999% music I listen too is trance. The other .01 percent is the occasional Deftones or some other rock album I have, back then when all I bought was rock and rap, and didn't know what Trance is.
I have been an EDM fan for like 2 years or so, and about 1 year or so is Trance, the other one was mainly Breakbeatz and about a month of Techno.Ever since I have found Trance music, I have never gotten tired of it and keep on trying to find new Trance music, like other producers/djs work. As for getting tired of Trance music because you have basically listened to everything, and its all old, I dont have no problem with this, I could listen to one album over and over and over again. Like what I did with this PvD set, where I had it in my cd player for about a month.
Just like many other people said, broaden your genres of music, even o utside of EDM. I haved, but nothing it just as good as Trance is. Before Trance I listened to rap,rock,dark rock or whatever category korn goes in,metal or heavy something(i,e System of a down,Godsmack,Marylin Manson),Hip Hop, R&B(isnt this the same thing as Hip Hop?),country(I blame my sis's ex-boyfriend for this. Inside EDM is DnB,Tehcno,Breakbeats,House,Happy Hardcore(I cant believe people can stand this, I see it as even more :nervous: then that Heavy metal screaming ),and Progressive. But yet they cant live up to Trance.
ONly one time, Im pretty sure, is when I took some illegal substance(hint, trance goes good with x drug)and for about a week, I didn't want to listen to trance. Besides that I dont ever see myself getting tired of it, and I know when I get older and sometime become a Dad, I will still keep on listening to it(heck,Im not going to allow my son/daughter listen to some crappy rap,pop,hip hop :P, in my house).
Trance forever, TA 24/7
P.S:Im :D cause I made somebody on another forum notice trance music. Well I didn't make him, but you know how Winamp has Trance radio shows, on my sig at that forum, its a link to a winamp trance radio show, and he pmed today saying he click on it and he thought it was great:D |

I have a bit of a problem.
I've been listening to trance for a few years. And lately, for some reason, when I listen to Trance I don't feel the same excitement, rush, exhilaration, and emotions I did a few weeks ago. It seems as if the other day I woke up in a twilight-zone and trance was gone.
I'm beginning to think it might be because I listened to too much trance, since about 95% of the music I listen to is trance.
Is there such a thing as too much trance?
I hope not, because I really enjoyed it, and I really want it to come back.
I'm going to try to deprive myself of trance for a while and see if it helps. Is it a wise move? And has anyone experienced this and have suggestions?
Thank you. |
everyone is doing prog now, current trance is lifeless, so it seems in my opinion |

maybe it was just fad for you and its not really for you.:conf: i've been listening to edm and trance for a looooooong while and i can't say i've ever been tired or have had too much of it. i can;t even fathom that possibility.
but definietly listen to other edm and non-edm to gain a greater appreciation for music in general. you may come back to trance and appreciate it as much or more. if that's not the case, it probably doesn't mean as much to you as you thought it did. |
