Slow lyric, fast beat.

Although trance may have links to all types of music, this is the simplest way it can be explained.

The general public's exposure to this music is limited to "club anthems" and other saturday night remixes on radio stations.

Music that requires no talent or musical ability to create. It is the “creation” of so-called “producers” who fancy themselves as actual musicians. Most “artists” who “write” trance music have very limited skills at playing an instrument or singing. Lyrics, if any, are usually elementary level at best. Trance is “composed” primarily via programs such as Logic and Appleton by using pre-recorded loops. Occasionally, the “producer” will place the tip of his penis onto a midi controller to trigger a few spacey sounds drawn from from an extensive data base of virtual (not real) instruments provided by Steve Jobs. Trance music lacks humanistic feel made possible by the use of real instruments. Any monkey with an index finger and a laptop can be an award-winning trance artist. Trance is very popular in Europe with drug users who don’t know when to go home. It should be said that the most popular “artworks” are usually the worst. The general public usually knows nothing about art which is why Vanilla Ice’s album sold 6 million copies. Some say that trance is “music for people with I.Q.’s over 130” which is interesting since it takes only an I.Q. of 30 to create. These people fail to realize that a high I.Q. has nothing to do with being informed or musically educated. In fact, most “trance snobs” couldn’t tell you that the current song on the radio is sung by The Beatles. Seriously, if ever there was a wrong style of music to be a snob about, it’s trance.

edm equivalent to pop, very popular, but not really the best. It has it's merits and shortcomings. It does take a great amount of talent to produce any sort of edm, give a regular music listener Ableton and lets see how easy it is to make a good song.
trance=/= techno, trance=/= house, techno=/=house.

Before you bitch about it, learn the difference.

"Its not just music, its a state of mind"

Yeah, right. State of imbecilness!
Proclaimed "Music of the intelligent" by its listeners, when in fact you cant be any further from the truth. Listening to trance "music" (not really music because MUSIC is made with instruments and vocals not computers) turns you into a fucking moron.
Friend of mine said, "give a guitar (or any other instrument..) to a trancie and reason & intellect will come around again.
Me: Trance is not music, its sound play at most.
Trancie: Nononononoo u stupid man u need 130 IQ tu anderstand man!foolis man zomfg get brains!
