you can't fully enjoy dance while just sitting there... it's all about rythm and making people want to dance to the beat... hence the name... makes people trance out
as a dj you need a lot of skill to make good dance music... not everyone can do it
either way everyone has diff taste in music and i dont expect you to like it either way... but you just cant say that anyone can do it and that it doesnt require talent... because i KNOW that a lot of trance out there is just bad... but again, just like any style...
eg. i hate stuff like slip knot etc, but that doesnt mean that "anyone can just scream like that"... some people like their style, i dont.. simple as. but i wont deny that they're good... else there wouldnt be as many fans :)
same for dance... it's very popular in the netherlands/belgium... best sold music dvd here is (pretty sure), like it or not, dj tiesto in concert (true dance/trance)
You make a good point, but i'll stick by my opinion that 95% of trance music is shit, and youve near enough agreed that most of it is. Yeah it takes SOME talent, but its more knowledge than actual talent, you just need to know how to do it. If you like it then fair enough, i'm not gonna say that its all shit, some of it is good, but id rather eat a baboon testicle than have to suffer 3 hours of that shit, id 'trance' alright, into complete insanity.
