Just a different pov
I think, the "huge crowd" always looking for the "basic-instinct contents".. They want to feel the "destructive/ childish/ sexual energy - atmosphere"
because the nature rewards these with the greatest -easy- pleasures. (+it doesn't require brain/knowledge)

I've not felt this "intention" in goatrance (especially in oldschool).
Typical basic's was Philosophy, Astronomy, History, Psychology, Religion, Aliens, Science, LSD etc which requires a general "intelligence and interest" and "abstract thinking" to enjoy.
That's why it's never been popular as mainstream trance, techno, drum'nbass, .. (IMO)
just compare them >
