I think some folks just hate the trance beat. Whatever you call it: 4/4, four on the floor, techno beat… that style of beat turns many people off.

just like some people get turned off by country music or polkas or certain vocals…

What I've found that many Americans do not know the difference between Tiesto and Juno Reactor – trance is trance and it's bad.

yeah, the U.S. never had any popular psytrance djs in the 90's…
Does Goa Gil count?

I actually thought trance was crappy, until I heard some stuff on Matsuri label ((drool)) in '98. I remeber a dude on Erowid telling me about Hallucinagin around '97, but I never investigated till later. That's life: recieve information, process, transmit…  🙂
