This is in relation to the actual size of the average person's ability to comprehend Basshunter.
It's been scientifically measured.

because what now it's called trance it isn't. Even those who had some reminiscence of "old trance" are now moving into "trance"
This post has some true facts:
quote:
Basically what has happened is back in the early 2000's, the "trance explosion" jettisoned several DJs to superstar status. With this status came a large fan base, with that came money. They realized this music was extremely accessible and with the assistance of ecstasy, pulling people into their fold was a snap. They all then began pushing out the same cookie cutter music that makes the trance fans go wild. This is still happening today as basically the same big name DJs top the rankings for trance, and it's been that way for years with little shift.
Then it backfired. To the fans and to them (probably) this is no issue, as they just looooove their saws and breakdowns, but to the rest of the electronic music world, it became a sideshow carnival. These big name DJs basically set the standards for the scene, established a bunch of unwritten rules, and from then on, bedroom producers and DJs that got excited by this music decided they had to emulate their heroes to make it. Making it usually entails getting their track played on a radio show such as ASOT.
So basically, what has happened, is for the last 7 years or so the entire genre of trance has stagnated. There is no innovation occurring, no new ideas, nothing really of any technical value other than DJs using new equipment and the productions becoming increasingly sterile, but people still love it, because hey, it's pretty accessible. There's nothing inherently wrong with this, it's just boring and contrived.
The problem now is that if you make a track that could be classified as good on the old days you will have problems to sign it and if it gets signed will get the "support" of only a few % of the trance community.
While if you make something generic you will have labels pushing you to sign the track with them and people making your track appear on the top 100 charts on beatport.
For a producer to actually wants to make his hobby a work the path is easy, go for the second.

well as to say most of your comments are not completely unfounded. if you look at all the electro/house/dubstep etc...the ones that ARE GOOD could be essentially classified as Trance.
you see mainstream trance taking a step towards a continuous beat and rythem with no real difference between track one and track two. then you see these new classifications that have the trance tempo, beat, and build up then everybody loves those tracks.
trance is moving to somewhere we don't care for, where as everything else is moving to where trance was. why because they are sounding more and more like trance. trance music once was layered music with many different layers. now it is muttled and monotone.
sure tiesto's NEW album was good, but it is a step in another direction than his music 3 years ago. his instrumental tracks are mono tone in comparison to his older stuff. lately i've been searching for less mainstream artists that give it the way we like it.
if you even listen to regular pop or top 40's music. how many tracks could be considered trance or have a trance beat? LMFAO, Black Eyed Pea's, Lady GAGA. they all are using trace beats for their HIT music.
maybe Trance artists/composers today are getting tunnel vision, but everybody else seems to have found what they had all along.

although it's true that pop starts left their guitars to pick computers i don't consider black eyed peas have a trance influence, lady gaga possibly has some influence like many others, but not really a trance influence but eurodance which is like the most commercial trance you can imagine.
But now you see 120-130 bpm beats on pop songs that's clear, and i specially agree on this:

what people call choons are usually closer to trance than to other genres, even the beginning of Sexy Bitch it's a raw copy of Tuvan, or Tuvan copyed Sexy Bitch i don't care.
