Video streams are net negative for Trance shows

[trancefan2020]

Watching music streams is a bit of a contradiction, am I supposed to listen to the music or watch his next move?
I have found that I can't do both. Anyway , video streams are new and all the legacy shows have all been audio only. Van Buuren, Schulz, Van Dyk
have all created legendary shows with no visual clue what they do or even what they look like. Ever since ASOT went video , the tracks have shortened a lot and they are bringing more and more distractions where it's hard to listen to the music.
There is two main problems with video streams:
1. They make the viewer focus on visual and surpass the audio
2. They make performer cut down on patience and cut the music tracks that used to 6 to 7 minutes at least down to 3 and 4 minutes because the performer wants to do something because of the video stream instead of letting you listen to the audio that builds and maintains.
There is no way that these guys will play 10 minute classics on their show and stand there doing nothing.
This is something that had been on my mind and on my nerves for a while.

They can upload videos onto spotify too which is now in video too. The days of ASOT playing long tracks are gone dude. Most of these days people just want to hear titktok edm or tiktok trance.

Yeah , I remember Armin acting completely aghast recently that a classic tune was 11 minutes long. This is simply because of video

I really don’t see the added value of video. Usually just somebody nodding his head for 5 minutes during the track.

Which classic is 11 mins long and what episode was that in? Also, this obsession of watered down techo tracks made by former trance producers like for example and by the way this is extended mix it's only 5 mins short.

It's all about jesus poses and love hearts because you know people consider Armin to be rebirth of Jesus.

I think it's mainly because you can cut pieces and bits and that means........ lots of content for social media. If you wanna stay relevent, you gotta have video... I bet this is the main reason for them to have started ASOT on video...

Visuals are basically needed to remain relevant today. It's hard to imagine a gen Zer just listening to audio when they could be watching audio + video from a different genre. Everyone also has increasingly shorter attention spans.

Visual streams are just how trance radio has needed to adapt in an era of podcasts, YouTube shows, and endless competition from all other sources of entertainment.

At least he’s not doing a show in his briefs with a sunset in the background, unlike half the female DJs in melodic techno

They are a net negative because real trance music makes you want to close your eyes forget about your troubles in life. These fake ones with these videos kinda go away from why trance was made.
