Not really though. I've just rediscovered it after a local club started doing regular 90s parties. I still mainly like Trance, but have listened to lots of stuff, including things that don't fit together one bit, such as Humppa, Classical and Thunderdome-ish Hardcore (counting stuff where I bought CDs). In one of my darkest hours I even bought an Eminem album. :wtf: |

Pretty much. At any rate, I have found myself listening to it less and less lately, and cannot remember what the last song was that I heard, or when I listened to it.

Same exactly thing here. I feel that i explored everything, i have felt everything there is to feel and that there is nothing left to make me feel something when listening to almost any kind of music. Yesterday i have put on some of my favorite old tracks and they definitely didn't "feel" like they were before. I mean the perception was kinda different, there weren't as "loud" or "surrounding" as they used to be and the overall impression was much different.
I fear that this is some kind of mild depression or something. I personally think that being in the obligatory national service in the army definitely caused huge amounts of stress and anhedonia to me (which gradually got worst as time progressed). Kinda ironic because my specialty is that of a psychologist lol. I also sometimes feel worse when listening to music, possibly because when you listen to music you probably don't do anything but stay still (or when it comes to EDM you could slowly move unless you dance like mad to some crazy hard-house or something) and if you get to the point that music "doesn't do it for you" you actually feel that "purposeleness" even more. In contrast, when you do stuff like thinking (!)or watching something that requires intelligence, you actively do things, like paying attention, engage in problem-solving and concentrating. All these are natural mood-enhancers. Well thats my theory anyway. I hope that after i finish my service in march i'll get myself back together and start planning and doing things again. I hope that i'll not need any CBT or effexor or something lol.
Then again, it could be just growing-up or changing. I mean that older people proportionally aren't as "active/avid-listeners" as younger people (or thats my impression anyway). But then again some kind of mild-sub-depression must be present in almost all of older people lol (the routine of daily life, the day-to-day constraints and obligations, less opportunities to experience new things bla bla bla). This is possibly why teenagers usually enjoy lood supra-emotional forms of music,its because their brains are bombarded with novel senses and waves of new information. Coupled with the hormonal maelstrom and you get the picture. As you grow older, the experiences are becoming less touching, you brain "habituates" to most previously-exciting stuff, your senses slowly fail you, your hormonal levels decrease (and/or your organs sensitivity to hormones). You go from extravagant super-saw trance to the "more appropriate" progressive house to cooler hype-ground techno to watered-down house and finally (posibly) to nothing. Or you get recycling that older stuff because they used to give you the rush when you were younger. Yeah, nostalgia.
Maybe you are just in a kinda difficult situation or transitional phase in your life JBJ. Just thing of it. You possibly know better. ;) |

For me it stopped at Super-saw trance and I recycled older stuff including house. For the rest I guess I feel the same at this above average TA age. |

When I first started listening to electronic music, it was mostly big-beat and trip-hop, along with stuff like Leftfield and Orbital, and the later Massive Attack stuff. I didn't get into trance until I went backpacking in the UK/Europe and started taking lots of ecstasy :stongue:
I still listen to trance now and then (mostly the older stuff), but since about 2000 onwards I started listening to more D&B, Breaks (both UK and prog), prog house, and finally since joining TA (lol) I've started listening to a lot of deep house, tech house and techno. Or just plain house.
Like System-J though, the 90s sound is still by far my favourite  |
