That poll means jack and everybody knows it. Except the little trance-bubble which seems to function in it's own universe anyways.


Can't understand where this anger against trance is comming from, maybe one day I'll understand.

its a reaction to the actions that ruined trance (breakdowns, jesus-poses, supersaws, piracy, and finaly ASOT nailed the box). you see for every action theres a reaction. it happens in all great genres, they cant possible survive for more than a 10 years.

AvB is nš 1 on TA poll too, sadly, and breakdowns ruined some trance genres, uplifting trance without breakdowns miss something.

I personally quite like Trance. I don't listen to it anymore and haven't for a good few years now but i personally believe it's a stepping stone for so many people.

I'd nearly go so far as to say the majority of us used to listen to trance. Then started hearing different genres within the EDM scene which (IMO) opens your eyes to what's really out there.

For some, Trance is still something they love. Fair enough but i know way too many people who used to listen to it but wouldn't touch it with a 40ft barge pole now.

Either way, I wish techno had as many ladies as trance seems to pull at events. :(

i listened techno, hard trance, psytrance , happy hardcore and for me the current Trance was my discover, i love the banging stuff like Aly & Fila, Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson , Airbase which is a bit like the old trance of Joop, Alphazone ,Lost Tribe , Gouryella... not the same sounds but melodic and banging. I'm coming back to my roots again but i have to recognize that i like some of the vocal cheesy tracks, i hate myself for liking Cerf Mitiska & Jaren - Beggin' You (AvB Remix) but i do.

And yes, there are a lot of girls in Trance now (20% of the crowd but what a girls :p still a lot looking backwards) but it's because it's becoming so cheesy and commercial.

That's because a majority of TA does like trance and trance kids love polls since dj mag made dj polls popular to them (oh irony). They aren't that vocal, they mainly stay in the tracklist forums and fistpump on Thursdays when ASOT comes on. They post the most smilies and use the letter O a lot.

No bash on trance from this aspect (outrightly), just stating fact.

Trance will probably be on the top of polls for a while just because of this. Just let me know when you start getting emails from people like Martyn, or Raresh, or others wanting you to vote for them in dj mag :p

Bleep bloop bleep bloop awayyyyyyyyyy!

All kidding aside there are things to like in most if not all genres of music. The people that step into threads such as this and bash a competing genre because it gets more attention or bigger gigs are pathetic.

It's plain and simple jealousy is all it really comes down to..
