You've probably heard more progressive sounding trance than uplifting or hard trance Brett. Trance covers a broad range of different styles believe it or not.

Not to mention before the current breed of 'trance' came about (with the techno/acid synth undertones) it was actually a softer more ambient genre of music that was only related to dance music in the sense that it was composed of electronic sounds. There the similarity ends.

The dance music/rock music didvide will always spark a debate. The 2 are quite literally at opposite ends of the musical spectrum. I used to be a diehard rock fan in my early teens & never thought I'd get into dance music which I viewed as a synthetic, fake kinda music that took no talent or skills to make, however just as music performed on instruments requires years of learning & practice, so does mixing & sampling, not to mention tight production.

(LOL joke!) and my favourite bit, getting covered in the guy next to you's sweat because of the sheer volume of people shuffling around and competing for every inch of space thats not on offer

Its not my idea of music or how it should be enjoyed, so as I said - I dont understand it. I deliberatly didnt call it crap because thats hardly constructive and its very popular. Im very defined in what I do like and I dont like. Dance music, euphoria music, trance etc its not a music I enjoy, I have mates who do like it and I just stopped going out with them after the first few times.

To be fair, you could say that about many a gig or concert & thats more an issue with the venue.

Music is a matter of taste. Theres no point in trying to knock a certain type if it doesnt meet your criteria. The fact that if 3000 people are dancing to rock or trance, I bet 2/3rds of them are only dancing to it because its vaguely up there street. You wouldnt get 500 people stood still at a festival or rave because the music is a bit soft, they get on with having a good time despite the DJ/band being a bit crap..

The post was more of a response to j17sparky mate. I could have said it was ****e, crap and everyone who likes it is retarded but I chose to say I dont understand the point of it instead... that was rather lost on him sadly.

That's an almost completely accurate description of a mosh pit to me
