Im pretty sure I know the difference between trance and house, its just when you get these stupid sub genres I get confused.

Not many people who post in the Music Discussion section like uplifting trance, or trouse. Most people tend to move on from those styles after a couple of years of listening to them.

Here mostly Techno, House and older Trance I guess.
If you listen to a ton of uplifting (like most people here used to) you will tend to burn out on it pretty quickly.

I have for years and I still love it haha!
What type of house, obviously not the type that I posted.
Are people on here more into older type of music than the stuff that we class as house and trance ?
would you say the music we call trance and house, is not what you or people on here know it as ?

Yes, but you are only 19 and your tastes will inevitably change as time goes on. Most people on here have been listening for several years now, and they have moved on to things like techno, house, progressive and psy trance.

But most stayed within the general Electronic Music genre ?
I could never see my self with an ipod full of indie music!

I don't have time to etch out a particularly lengthy response since I'm catching a film soon, but here's a short version.
Well, first and foremost, genre differences are somewhat less obvious than whether one song has a lot of bass, or some number of elements or instruments, or some particular melody or chord structure (generally.) I think you're right to identify the progression or beat structure of a song as contributing to genre differences, but it's hardly all you need to understand. House, for instance, tends to be less overt and more subtle with melody. It tends to have more sustained chords, and are often more dissonant, harkening to jazz roots.
House (Deep House, in these specific examples)::
Progressive House::
Trance tends to have a higher tempo, a more pronounced melodic progression (arpeggios, spacious pads), but is more obvious. I'm trying to be careful here, because if I took a Venn diagram comparing trance and house in terms of how lush or spacious or "atmospheric" one song were, you'd come up with many similarities. Progressive trance is often centered around a BPM range of 127 to 134, while progressive house often overlaps this, ranging from around 123 BPM to 132 BPM. *shrug* Oh well.
"Uplifting" Trance (has all to do with how, literally, uplifting or "happy" a song is than its nature towards higher tempos and pronounced riffs.)::
Progressive Trance::
Anyway, like I said, I haven't more time to explain this. Maybe later?

Most people's tastes evolve in a logical way. Or their tastes stay the same because they stop going out, stop listening to music and just play classics from when they were 21 and moan about how modern music is all .

No. Rebel9 listens to new music. He's merely a purist - absolute expert with the most demanding standards in one small scene, knows -all about anything else.

I'm quite an expert within the type of music produced in Sahara (mainly Wassoulou, Mbalax and Korah). Also quite a big fan of the qawwali genre. But not many people here to discuss it with :(
It's actually better than 99 % of the electronic music out there.
