This is true, this is true. Its also true that it does sometimes
bother me when people dont like the same music as I do, I dont know why
exactly. I realised this myself when was writing the email (you might
notice its a little self sarcastic, if that's the word for it), but
went ahead because I thought it might provoke some disscussion.
My theory on why it has bugged me is not just because I don't care for
trance personally (mostly the pop-trance as I call it, and I really
dont hate all that much) its that I don't hear, for example, people who
are into _only_ drum and bass, or _only_ hardcore. But I run into
people who are only into trance. And I feel a little like i'm watching
the child who has been given a wonderous gift, but tossed it aside to
play with the gift box. Its not that I want to force them to like what
I do as much as it is that I want them to realise how much more there
is.
I get the same way about books I like, too.

Just show some respect to those 'raver kiddies', they like their music
in
the same way you like your techno beats. This makes the music a lot
nicer.

what real pure techno is :)
