Kinda amusing thread, I'm not gonna bother viewing the video the thread starter made, since the whole topic/thread style feels way too click baity. The thread name makes me think of, somekind of self-proclaimed psytrance scene oracle. The naming of the thread follows some formulas used for gaining attention/views online in general, pick a "controversial" topic, claim something that can't really be proved and which is sure to engage an often heated discussion, which commonly leads nowhere. Reminds me of trolling to be honest, as some of the reactions here seem to be in line with. The purpose of the thread seems to be more about promoting a youtube channel than anything else really. THIS IS A PROPHECY.

From a general perspective, I'm only 40 years old with 23 of those years in the music industry. Touring heavy metal bands from 1997-2005 who I sold my company & then making music for ads and tv. but people in general like their life to predicable & routine based. Like kids, it gives a sense of safety and control, which is a complete illusion as this year has proven no one has any control over anything and to think you do is just hilarious. therefore the average person likes predictable music. They like the baseline, beat and melody to follow a formula. Just like most people are happy to f#ck the same way as long as they cum. it is why actually talented musicians can cash in on writing predictable pop music. Ed Sheeran for example is one the most talented guitar players to ever exist, but he's not going to cash in playing for some black metal band wanking over the ashes of a burnt church while performing goat bukkake (I love black metal by the way musically but the aesthetics are just hilariously stupid). so popular psy trance follows a very predictable formula, but people think it's edgy because of the cultural & religious appropriation and the slightly tripped out sounds. They will never listen to forest stuff, even Zenon makes them slightly uncomfortable. the same applies to every genre. People are happy to listen to pop hip hop that talks of birches, Rape and murder as long as it has predictable and funky beat. Drop some NWA shit and they freak. People will listen to Metallica, but drop Dying Fetus and they will freak. if you want to push musical boundaries, if you want to go full experimental, if you want to go full hardcore you will be never be popular, get lots of paid gigs or royalties. that's why even the neo-goa rubbish sounds about as exciting as another night banging my wife the same way. It feels good in the moment but in the end it's about as satisfying as McDonald's.

In this video i cite the reasons that I believe psytrance will soon cease to exist in the form that we know it. Check my music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2gponzmhHF1GO3L7J4Ox9B
