Yeah, trance is pretty bad, when it comes down to it. You can always tell a bad genre when there's waay too much subgenrefication. That means they're struggling for a way to claim they're diverse and interesting, when it's still the same formula with some snare rushes or different keys.

You don't have to like it. I don't. But ya gotta realize that that's where it started (although "rave" music back then was quite a bit different, granted). It's just history. It's like, it's pretty hard to have a talk about evolution if there's a bunch of creationists around. You just argue and argue, cos they don't know what's up.
