I think exactly the same. That's what I hate about it. For me it has no spirit. It's just pop songs with a more pounding bassline. It's just 'modern' easy profits music.
Several years ago Hip Hop was the big deal here. Somehow thats not 'Hip' anymore and the same Ghettostyle people became cool and listen to house, although they were talking very badly about the 'electronic music' people in the past.
We were always seen as some drug addicted crazy people and now all of a sudden they like house/electro.
Real quality, non commercial or mainstream House is very very rare. I have no respect for mainstream artists like Britney Spears, who basically don't know anything about what they are doing. It's just a big name, they get their songs written, their lyrics written, they have a contract to put out a specific amount of songs a year etc. It's worthless imo.
It's an offense to dedicated producers, who work for ages on one track.. just to get the last drop of perfection, their imagination in it.
I must admit, I'm not completely objective on that matter because I have my preferences. I know most about the Trance scene and in my opinion nothing in the EDM comes close concerning 'spirit'.
Of course there are also cheap Trance songs, but for the good ones, there is so much soul and feeling put in the melody. There is a intro, a builtup, a climax and an outro. You don't have that in any other EDM genre.
I also like Techno stuff like Technasia (which was previously posted) but I just like it for it's 'groove'. It doesn't make me get emotional.
Hardstyle is basically like House. Most of the tracks are remixes of old pop songs. Just with a lot more 'kick' and maybe a more interesting melody. But it's almost hard to find a track without a "stolen" melody.
I don't listen to it a lot at home/in my car. Only life at events because the show is spectacular and pure excitement. If it wasn't for a show I would not drive 1000 kilometers for a night in a club.
For Trance I would and did. I would even go to a completely dark room where there is just the music and nothing else.
it's awesome played on a good sound system with bass that massages your entire body 
All he does is add a bit of an "electronic" touch to mainstream-sounding songs. Eg sexy bitch; if I wanted to listen to Akon, I'd listen to Akon, not EDM. Its mainstream-sounding stuff that makes an average girl get all excited and go dance. That's not a bad thing by any means, but if I'm just on my own enjoying some music, its really not what I want to listen to. If that makes any sense :lol:
