The only reason we "pick on it" is because of its poor quality.
Then again, this thread is redundant and we can find thousands of others just like it if we use the search button, so I'm done here. |

The way I see it, in America, there IS this stigma - associated with the whole realm of trance/club music that sends people back to the days of what IVD, Europop, cheese sound like, it is usually the first thing that people "not in the know about EDM" associate with the word - trance - when they hear it.
From what I have seen, with people that really know NOTHING about electronic music - When people actually get a chance to sit down and hear a set, like a Paul van Dyk set from Mayday, or a Carl Cox set from Ibiza, or a Blank and Jones set from Trance Energy, they always say "whoa - that is damn cool" and they always ask me to find them more music to listen to...this is just simply because people in America, who are cultured to the pop scene, or the rock scene, are never exposed to ANY real electronic music worth anything. Tiesto, and even Oakenfold have decent name recognition in the states...but Paul van Dyk, Sasha, Digweed, and others are DJs that have taken their sound (and their music) undeground to clubs and events mainly in Europe. REAL trance in the US is mainly confined to the club scenes of Miami and LA - and mainstream acceptance in culture is diminishing (ie. Trance was bigger in the states back in 1998 - 2002) when the rave scene was still fully alive and parties were happpening. Back then, you would still see trance music videos on MTV every now and then, and parties were huge, happening at state fairgrounds and outdoor venues with 5,000+ people attending shows - the scene was huge here back then. The overall public appeal for "underground dance music" is just not what it was - and even given that, the turnout for liveshows at clubs and big cities is not nearly as big as it used to be. Many clubs have shut their doors, and rave promoters have been forced to stop throwing outdoor shows and warehouse events because of problems with city and police cracking down. There is just simply no way to promote electronic music in the US now, as there is in Europe. The club culture in Europe is still very vital, alive, and shows good hope for the future...but the US scene is dying...by the day here...it is sad :-( |

Yeah, it would have to be a lot lower. |

| Most Americans have too shorter attention span to sit through a 6 minute trance song, however it's entirely believable that radio edits less than 4 minutes could become popular, but only ever those with vocals. |

| Honestly, who the cares? No person with a genuine love for the music cares about wheter it's mainstream or not, if it's popular or if the friends listen to it. And why this hate towards rap? What's the problem? |

So just because some rap is "see through cliche mass media feed the honky marketing material" the whole genre is crap? |

| no, but it can become too tedious for me at least to sift through that much crap to find the gems , which ironically is the same way i feel about trance.Again, trance like rap was best in the 90's. |

Actually when I told the last few 50 people that asked me what concert going to and I was so excited about and I told them 'DAFT PUNK' all responses were "dont know him" or "is it a rock band?" |
I think Daft Punk got some decent exposure 10-12 yrs ago on mainstream tv and radio. I remember hearing lots of Daft Punk tunes on radio (a rock station for some strange reason) and Much Music (Canadian version of MTV)
I think there's a lot of EDM in mainstream media, but it's just people don't recognize it. Like you hear housey or breaks or electronica in a lot of commercials, movie soundtrack, video games, etc.
It's just people dismiss it more or less as background music, and don't search for them. |
