I like goth, futurepop, and Industrial. It’s all fun to dance to. I started goth-clubbing about eight years ago, and fell in love with Assemblage 23, NIN, and KMFDM.
 
(What a lot of people mistakenly IMO call “techno”)

I love it!

Just wondering. It seems like most people who listen to it are atheists or agnostics, so it’s a bit disheartening for me finding a like-minded fan of the music.
I sometimes do when working out…nothing wrong with listening to it. Unfortunately, it’s been coincided with ‘ecstasy’ bars/clubs, but regular people like us…can listen to it any old time, too!😃
 
Why don’t people in America listen to dance music like Europeans? Do European’s even like it anymore? I heard from some foreign exchange students that it used to be popular but isn’t anymore.
 
I don’t listen to as much “techno” songs like I did three years ago. It was so popular back then with all us Asian kids playing DDR, raving, etc. It was fun. I was more into the poppy, japanese, lyrical, happy, type “techno” music. We were into cars and listening to music like that makes me think about cars. :). Import cars to be exact.

I don’t know. Perhaps because they prefer to listen to slow rap music? :eek:

As for its popularity in Europe, it seems to still be very popular in the Eastern part, in countries like Poland, while Western Europe’s charts are largely a mix of the same songs popular in the U.S. and Britain (sometimes delayed by a few months) and locally-grown pure pop artists, often from reality TV shows similar to American Idol. However, I would say dance music is still considerably more popular in almost any part of the Europe than the U.S. overall; there are numerous radio stations and even cable channels devoted solely to dance music, and the French charts (for example) currently have the disco-y “Double Je” by Nouvelle Star finalist Christophe Willem at #1, “Love is Gone” by dance musician David Guetta at #5, and the trance / techno song “Are U Ready” by Pakito at #23 - those are just from the songs on the chart that I’ve heard. Compare this to the American chart, which has no comparable songs on it.
 
I’ve been listening to variants of techno and dance since the late 80s. I especially like house & trance while I’m concentrating on something like programming websites. Lots of great independent musicians and podcasts out there. One of my favorites right now is Release Yourself by Roger Sanchez.
 
wooow. what’s up with all these catholics liking trance?? lol i’ve never even heard of anyone liking it before. well, i’ve known a couple ravers but i don’t know what you would call what they listen to… then again, i don’t know what to call most the music i listen to either. some trance sounds kinda interesting. depending on what i’m doing i could listen to it. but never while driving or doing anything repetitious. my head would explode.
