Yeah, I don't use the word techno either. I do use "electronica" to cover all the genres, though.

I listen to a lot of both drum & bass and trance, and there are some massive differences in the genres; no, they don't sound the same, nor do they (most of the time) sound even remotely similar. That doesn't only go for seasoned listeners, either; any moron can tell the differences between Paul Van Dyk and say.. Goldie.

To those who'd say music shouldn't be classified: even bands/producers/etc who share an exact genre can sound utterly different, let alone all genres under a partciular category sounding the same. I don't like all genres of electronica. Isn't it easier for me to say which specific genre I don't enjoy, and which ones I do? There's a HUGE world of music out there, and without classifications, it would be harder to find artists whom you know for sure you'd enjoy.

:twocents:

I like progressive house, by DJ's such as Anne Savage, Lisa Lashes and also Tidy Boys.

Euphoric DJ's such as Dave Pearce, Tiesto and Mauro Picotto are also good. Hardhouse Extreme by acts like Dougal and Gammar and various other artists.

No real relevance in this post, but just lettin ya know what sort I like.

techno trance an all electronica is noise to me
real music is stuff like rock n reggae played with real instruments not a jumped up keyboard (synth)

There is no such thing as real music or real instruments.

They both suck in my book :)

Techno sucks.

Trance sounds like techno.

Therefor it sucks.

i hate when people say that, but then im always happily aware that they must not be real music lovers, and not know anything about music at all since they cant tell the difference
