Yeah, this forum went to years ago because of these people. Mostly immature, insecure, 19 year old dorks that have nothing else to do. This forum really needs some nazi modding.
The unicorn got old after like day 1 |

Really, I think that this can go either way. It can really open you up, or close you down. So, I suppose I'm a bit torn as to whether or not it's a good thing. For me, I feel it's turned out pretty well.
TA has managed to single-handedly open my eyes up to many genres I would have never bothered exploring before... and much of this was undoubtedly due to the overwhelming amounts of cynacism aimed at the genre that brought me here in the first place. I hate to admit it, because it makes me sound flimsy and malleable, but it's true. All the cynacism has affected my musical taste, over time... but, not because I'm trying to conform to some "elitist" group of musical snobbery or see how far off the beaten path I can go. It's because I figured that there had to be something to it all. And, there was.
However, the problem is that I got to the point where, every once in a while, I had to actually step back and examine myself, and go "am I rejecting this song because I dislike it, or because I'm not 'supposed' to like it." That, my friends, is ing silly. Thankfully, I realized all this, and now I just listen to the music that I like. You just have to make sure that you don't get caught up in all the snobbery for snobbery's sake. I'm glad for this process overall, though, because I learned a lot from it and am now a lot more open-minded about music than I was several years ago.
It's almost like there's a process you have to go through: closed-minded, to open-minded, to closed-minded, to open-minded... though, some people never make it to that last one. Overall, I'd say that all the criticism of the genre (or any genre, really) is a good thing, so long as you end up appreciating music for what it is or what it does for you, and not for what you think you should or shouldn't like.
Now, I realize that you're probably more referring to the way trance criticized, not that it is. |

No, but then again, 'trance' shouldn't even be called trance anymore. The newbies we get nowadays aren't the same kinds of people that came here 5+ years ago. The music has changed and it's attracting different kinds of people here, and I reserve the right to laugh at them. |

you can't deny the fact that the music have changed. and i think every producer who have been in the game since the start would agree (oliver lieb, resistance d, sven väth etc.) heck many of them stopped producing trance because it felt raped by angelic vocals and megasuperdupersaws |

Yeah, but this site was made in bloody 2001 or semething. Most of the users here are still kids and the reason they signed-in was because they liked Tiesto, Buuren and co. (you included i presume). Its ok if your taste changes and like some older genre, but don't come here as the "old-school trance-elitist who bashes the kiddies who don't know " because its f*cking ridiculous. |
