What's with the grumpy old man attitudes? Instead of being a dick, help educate. If trance music is about one thing, I would think it would be about love for life and music. I'm all ears. |

Nice one thing is these guys complain about the snobbery in the scene I think a little snobbery is quite healthy. I don't know why but Darude also thinks that genre labelling is not important this is becoming really stupid all of the commercial established artists are saying that everything should be called EDM or anything with electro or loud synths should be labeled "Trance 2.0" when it has nothing to do with the genre. It would be such a mess if everything was labelled as EDM. |
True, I DON'T think ANAL genre labeling is important, because it mostly only seems to create friction between dimwits and nitpickers who play "my daddy is stronger than your daddy". Seems to create hate, which is stupid (hate over music, WHAT?)... Why hate another genre just if YOU don't like it? Flip the freaking channel! See another DJ! Don't like dubstep, but love trance? Big deal. Your mommy probably liked the 'Stones and your daddy liked the Beatles (Or The Prodigy & Right Said Fred), or the other way around, and still you're here.
You can have a great DJ play a minimal-y techy piece of something + a proggy house thing + an electro-y dirtpile + "nu-trance" and it all fits nicely and builds and moves all thru the set, so who cares, it's just amazing music that makes you nod, dance, smile, sweat, feel, experience.
When two or more people who know what they're talking about (but not wise-assey and all-knowing), sure, it's nice when you can describe things easier and shorter and the other people know what you're talking about, but do you lot not realize that it's like 1% of people, if that, outside of TA who are talking about, or have even heard, OR CARE about specific EDM genres out there "in the real world"? It's all "dance music" or "that techno" and weirdly so the Tiëstos, Guettas, Armins etc big names are doing well and couldn't care less, and even the smaller names are/would be just happy to be played by someone somewhere, regardless of the label put on their noise.
To sum up (and totally IMHO, so trash me, I don't care): if you use your sub-sub-sub-side-ug-genre name in a sentence to show off your knowledge of your chosen art/genre to someone and then ridicule or challenge them or their genre of liking, because you think yours is somehow better, that's just plain dumb.
If you exchange civil words with whoever is on the same level, or can take your genreisms, talk away and have fun with it, no harm done to anybody, probably on the contrary, and all's good in the world.
I listen to music every day. I try to listen to all kinds of music with an open mind and to learn from everything, even from the stuff that I just can't make myself like. There's usually still production tricks and other things you can pick up and learn from and that to me is more than enough to not hate on something I don't like or understand. |

genre-labeling isn't evil... even at a very basic level (trance, house, drum n bass, etc), it's necessary.
otherwise it'd be a huge mess. |

The problem is a lot of people don't see 'Trance' as 'cool'... how many tracks are out there with mainly 'trancey' melodies that get labelled as House? It's pathetic.
If you think Trance is a dirty word you need to wash your dictionary. |

good point. youtube channelers mis-label trance all.. the... time. trance tends to be seen as a little too 'airy' or 'odd'.
maybe thats what trance 2.0 is all about... the movement to make the name (the name and not the sound) trance cool. |

So which producer and djs do you have in mind that should promote this trance 2.0 bull? Judging from the DJs we have today that play trance music I would say that anyone would feel embarassed. Trance is at it's lowest ever. |
