AHHG!!! TRANCE IS NOT TECHNO

[lateralus]

Thanks for clearing that up for me man. I have started refraining from using the term techno several months ago (maybe longer), when I realized that none of what I listen to is actually techno, it is all house, trance, and their different forms. Now I know to tell people who tell me that techno sucks that they simply don't know what they are talking about because I don't ever listen to techno and they've got the wrong perspective on the entire electronica genre.

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.

TRANCE IS NOT TECHNO I've seen soooo many situations where people call DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Burin, Paul Oakenfold, and similar artists techno and you are almost entirely wrong. There is the biggest fucking difference in the world between TRANCE and TECHNO. Yes they are both subcatagories of electronica but THEY ARE IN NO WAY SIMILAR. Techno is crappy ofton random noise making with a gay sounding bouncy bassline and virtually no melody except for random noise. The synths are ofton very jagged saw waves and usually Rating: 5

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.

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

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
