What about the word progressive or hardcore? I hear people (not on this list)
say, "yeah, that music is hardcare techno or this is progressive trance."
Huh? Define hardcore and progressive in term of the music you like. What
makes it hardcore? What makes Progressive trance different from regular
trance? I have seen sections that are labeled in some stores as
"Trance-breaks" and some other weird combinations.
