commercialism?
 
OLi_A
personally i would hate for trance to go commercial in australia but why do i (and most others) think this?
is it because we want to have this little genre to ourselves?
i know that i would love to have more ppl around me to talk about trance to but if it goes mainstream i might look elsewhere because thats what ive done in the past
i know when r&b went mainstream here i felt it lost that something so i ditched it, but thats just me. tell me what you think about htis

trance going commercial in australia ,, i dont think so,, it comes and goes like when ATB 9pm came out everyone was into this cheesy e i dont call that trance,, when someone asks me what i listen to they will always answer with "ahhh that darude,atb style" i just laugh and give them a tiesto ,corsten cd and say thats what im on about then they usually get hooked.. ive converted many of my friends to trance and they cant get enough.. i dont think its a concern as only cheesy stuff is geting air play at the moment... Australia is not like europe,, over there its a tradition here its not.. there are to many beer drinking band lovers over here ...

the only good thing about trance breaking through would be more dj tours down here,, sure we get big names but it would be nice if some well known djs were resident djs over here ..

I wouldn't like trance to go commercial in Australia. I've always maintained that if a certain style of music were to become part of the mainstream, it would lose a certain quality about it. I don't know whether the music itself actually deteriorates to cheesy e by being commercial; or if this is just a psychological matter, and I just think that the music is crap because it’s commercial... But, being a school student, I am exposed to many pop fiends I think quality trance would be wasted on anyway. I guess they are the people who my friends and I consider ‘beyond education’. That’s just my way of thinking though...eheh...

I’ve converted some friends to dance... but not trance, not many of them know what trance is. But, yes, when I do come across the occasional trance addict, I get quite excited. :)

Hmmm... yes, I can see the advantages of trance becoming more popular. Resident DJs would be brilliant!

Anyway... that’s just my point of view.

trance shouldn't go commoercial, it'll ruin the image with crap songs (PPK - Ressuerection), keep it underground where it should be.
let the ignorant live in bliss.
let the rightious ever go forth knowing that they are truley the rightious.

i think as far as electronic music goes, trance and house are the two genres that cross over the most with commercial music... u can see that with songs like ressurection, better off alone, saltwater...

theres always been that stigma attatched to trance by lovers of "underground" electro music (drum and bass, breaks..) that trance is cheese cos its melodic, and that pisses me off quite frankly.

trance wont go mainstream... most ppl cant stand the DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF of the bass...
