Deciding what is trance

[asteski]

useless idea, the question is not how trancy a track, it is whether a track belongs to the trance section or not, thus we only need two different possibilities to answer "yes and "no". well i guess this was joke anyways :P

Yeah, like it's soo easy and obvious. And no, Trance is not 138+ banging stuff.

I don't think they are referring to bpms dude its how it sounds which makes it trance or house or electro.

Yeah I know, but most people here are defining trance as 138+ bpm stuff.

ofcourse it isnt, many tracks are crossovers that dont really fit into one box, but nevertheless sth like a "semi-trance" release section besides the trance and the non-trance section would be too much i think
And im quite sure most people on this board know that trance isnt defined by bpms.

That would let hardstyle tracks in it aswell. Those tracks are melodic, have supersynths and are 138+
It's definately not trance, but it has some overlap through hardtrance and trance.

So trance is at least more than just 138+
And not to forget that progressive trance always used to be slower than 138.

I know all that perfectly, no need for explanation.

Ofcourse I know that. Just wanted to show there's genre differences on the > 138 aswell.

But if u can see by the rating how trancy something is, is there still need for different sections?

Good point actually... but you know, it's subjective how trancy is something to everyone.

We could decide along similar lines to this if people preferred? Going to need a lot of Chickens though ...

[Progrez]

Trance or House? I say this is trance but what do you think?
