This guide is very subjective, biased to the writers' taste and contains derogatory terms, furthermore, it lacks factualness for the most part of the material. This is a more objective and factual one: http://www.complex.com/music/2013/03/an-idiots-guide-to-edm-genres — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.80.153.78 (talk) 23:29, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Giorgio Moroder

No mention of I Feel Love? Bolegash (talk) 04:49, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Influences

History section needs clearing up. Eg I think "Tomorrow never knows" Beatles (1966) should be mentioned as a forerunner. 86.190.47.8 (talk) 16:49, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Decibel Festival

The text is completely promotional, has no encyclopedical value. It will be replaced by a paraphrase version of the article with the same name "Decibel Festival" Chepe263 (talk) 01:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Improvement

Wow this article really needs major editing. So much original research in this article, I will be removing any sentence that's not supported by a reliable, secondary source. Hakken (talk) 13:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

citation

The section of subgenres illustrates numerous problems, especially in the opening sentence where it needs a citation. when an outside search was conducted, the only information that is shown is the unknown citation itself, no other proof. (Phoenix47.tm (talk) 19:03, 12 October 2017 (UTC))

Festivals list is poorly sourced

WP:SOURCELIST is clear that WP:V policy applies to every entry in a list to demonstrate that it merits listing. The § Music festivals section is currently full of redlinks and unreferenced non-links, and has been tagged {{specific section}} for two years (the whole article has been tagged for verifiability and other problems for four years). The problem I see is also {{cleanup list}}. Seven years ago, that concern was noted Talk:Trance (music genre)/Archive 3#Events section, where the response was that this list is useful and deleting it would waste the substantial effort it took to compile it. But I disagree—neither of those are within content-inclusion policies or guidelines. If we have secondary refs on the topic that list examples, that would support listing them here because they are verifabily good examples of the topic. If we have bluelinks for the examples, that would support listing them here because they are notable in their own right (and presumably their individual articles have refs to demonstrate they are on-topic here). It's been a long time with no resolution: here's the chance to discuss; I plan to prune the list in a few days unless there are policy/guideline-based objections. Anyone is free to (re)add entries with refs at any time; no effort is lost. DMacks (talk) 14:12, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

The content is up-to-date. However, the part named "Music Festival" seems somewhat off-topic. A part explaining the connection between Trance music and music festival should be added. Irisnan1009 (talk) 21:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

@DMacks: As far as I can see, the festivals list is making a horrible mess of an otherwise reasonable article, and other genre articles are not similarly burdened with such lists (e.g. rock music, electronic dance music (has prose), hip hop music, folk music (prose, just about)). I'd prefer to split to List of trance festivals (already present in the See also section of List of electronic music festivals), merge to List of electronic music festivals, or nuke the section if the notable festivals are already present in the latter list. --kingboyk (talk) 20:04, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Drug culture

It seems odd that there is no reference to Trance culture in which MDMA/Ecstasy features heavily, to the point that some Trance music is specifically designed to heighten the drug high. At the least, should include something like "Trance music is heavily featured in Rave culture" (as that article does mention drugs). Reference could be: "Altered State: The story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House" by Matthew Colin (Serpent's Tail; 2009, but first published in 1997) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.81.65.244 (talk) 10:14, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Origin of the name of this genre

Wikipedia is Spanish mentions the album "Trancefer" (1981) by Klaus Schulze and, the band "Dance 2 Trance" as possible origins.

George Rodney Maruri Game (talk) 08:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Dance 2 Trance are already mentioned; we'd need a citation from a reliable source for the other one. The source does not have to be in English. --kingboyk (talk) 20:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
