I think it's because trance fans take trance way too seriously, and praise it for being emotional and melodic...It is, but in the simplest terms imaginable.

Just want to point out that modern fart noise house is not the true nature of electro. If you want to take it back to real electro you get titles like this, which are still being released today and stuff like this is levels above

There is a connection - listen to the synthbass that enters at 0:32
Heavy sawtooth basslines have been a feature of electro since its inception, just like how plucks and pads have been a feature of trance music before it even had beats (kraut/ambient)

Eh you're really grasping there.
This music I posted sounds like its conducted from a spaceship. Modern popular obnoxious electro does not posess that aesthetic whatsoever.

I think people do pick on house and electro house songs for having the same sound. I am part of a house forum and I hear complaints about prog house sounding too generic nowadays, kind of like how I hear the same complaint about trance on this board. And electro house, well don't get me started on that, that is the worst genre imo but to each his own.

Sure you are right about that, but my point was just that lots of early electro had big "farty" basslines - maybe not so much sidechain compression and vst presets, but there is some kind of tenuous connection there :tongue2
