I agree on that. Sad thing is that some people (not all but I do see a huge increase) go for the drugs and not the music. They use the music to support the drugs instead of using the drugs to support the music. But how should they know any better when their favorite artists promote drugs as "God" by being totally fucked on drugs while performing and releasing various tunes and Albums that praise drugs. The artists, labels and also organizers have way more influence on the audience than they want to admit.
i must agree with you in most of things
and i want to add...for example,lets say that "vodka red-bull" is the most common drink in the pepole who goes to club and listen normal trance...but i dont see armin van buuren writing a track called:
Armin van buuren - Vodka red-bull
and how many psy tracks name we know that preached to use drugs/or named on drugs and etc?....well there is a lot of them, we all know that fact.
thats the diffrence between normal trance scene(and by the way,a lot of other music scenes,not only normal trance scene),and between a scene that the drugs/using of drugs is the main issue.

Mate not many does LSD any longer in the scene. They do Coke. If only they did LSD there was still a small chance things would improve for the better
well when i wrote "LSD" it refers to all others drugs,includes coke,include others drugs we know,using the word "LSD" was only the make myself more clearly ,for me its all the same,its bad (all the drugy stuff),no mather what.
in the bottom line this is a narcotic scene,who most of things in it based on using psy drugs,and thats the main reason for this scene has not very good Reputation among other electronic styles/genres.

Seems like we have four main hypotheses here:
1) Money: artists change their style because it is profitable.
2) Drugs: artists change their style because of doing more drugs, less drugs, the wrong drugs, or some combination thereof.
3) Boredom: artists change their style because they get bored.
4) Age: artists change their style because they get old. (Plus having children might cause some lifestyle changes.)
Sound about right? I might propose two more:
5) Fame: artists change their style because psytrance is the black sheep of electronic music and you can't really get far with it.
6) Disgust: artists change their style because they are tired of being ripped off in the psytrance scene.
I tend to think some combination of all these might be likely... but you would have to look at specific cases to know for sure. The money hypothesis is the weakest of all IMO. Not many artists make a great deal of money making other styles of music either. Even if they do you can't know that it wasn't a change in musical interest that motivated the change in the first place.
Maybe this discussion would move forward if we consider some test cases. Perhaps someone can speculate what factors are likely involved in the creative trajectories of these ten artists:
12 Moons
Etnica
GMS
Infected Mushroom
James Monro
MFG
Synchro
Ticon
Wizzy Noise
Yumade
I think anyone knowledgeable will realize that generalizations will not work here. Each case is different.
i agree 100% with basilisk point of view,especialy about what he writes on number 5,6,and i know many artists Suffered from those reasons and decided to stop making music,or go to another style if they can do that.
what i am trying to say that the "peace & love" state of mind over that scene,together with heavy using of psy drugs by the pepole who are suppose to "lead" that scene forward (for example: some party orginaizers that working with them was like a hell) makes the whole business to become amaturish,unproffesional,and overated.
and after many years in that scene,i can say that those are the results of a scene that the main thing on it is to gather and use psy drugs...
and what about the music? well....as long there is 4/4 rythem above 140 bpm,with some psy sounds & layers,then it goes...the LSD will do the rest.
sad,but in most cases true.

my story in this one;
during the last year and little bit more...my music become less "psy" (not that before it was hardcore psy
) and more trancy/ euro uplfiting trance,and the main reasons are:1. first the music,as a person,i found that in this style (euro trance) you can express your emotions more clearly,it has more uses of elements that puts the emotioanl human parts in the front,such as piano,fat warm leads,vocals(singer woman or men),warm pads,the structure of the track is like a normal song,you are focus more in making regular music,insted puting a 303 bass line the whole track,and playing with the cut off, although i love the 303 sound until today
2.pepole changed by the years,and it tooks effect on the music,if in the past i was realy into this " shiva goa spiritual" stuff, lets call it the "hipi typecast"
...well no i am no longer in that place as a person,the music i still love(goa),but my state of mind is totally diffrent now,i am less searching to digg to much in making music,sure i am still puting a whole story in my music,but it is less twisted & spiritualizm...and it is more goes to regular trance music,happy,shiny,without to much "searching for other planets in my mind"...i passed this time in my life as a person,and it effects on the music.3.well in my case,psychedelic music was sometimes the place i could be kind of a "rebel",you all know,when you are young,you want to be diffrent,to feel special and making not a regular music,and so the music u do goes to this direction,thats why psy music is a good place to be,but....when you grow up,and you understand more about life,and you are less rebel,and you dont need or want to "fight" with the world,or try to prove somthing,or feel too much special, cause life is too short for this stuff
...you just want to wake up in morning,drink my red bull,and start the day nicely ...then your music became more solid,regular,less "psy advantures" in music,and more friendly to the ears.this are the main reasons in my case,but again,it doesnt says that i will not make goa in the future,the opposite,when you grow up as a person by the years,you are more open minded about music,and to life in general,so i can do goa music if i am in the mood,and i can make a typical euro trance with vocals,i have no rulls in this case,always keeping open mind,and follow what i want to do in the same time & enjoy music,cause after all...its only music
and for the record,i am still love goa trance,as much as i love a lot of other kinds of music genres & styles,if its good to my ears,so it takes
anyway...hope not digging to much in this one...but i think i am more understood for some pepole now
so cheers everyone,enjoy life & good music

Thank you guys
well during the last years i realised that keeping an open mind as an producer regard to music , you just progress & follow your mind,and improve your skills and you are not locked up in one style,and if an artist can produce other styles so,,,,,,,why not?
thats why i`m keeping an open mind in life and especialy in music and i love goa such as i love trance such as i love rock and such as a lot of any other music styles that my ears like to hear
and in the same point i would like to say thanks to alexander from ektoplazm for his help in all levels,in a very professional way, and to old is gold israel for supporting the music all over the way

well for my point of view,and to many others i know,they would be happy to hear some uplifting trance in the morning sets...
and yes,i know the word "club music" is like a taboo in the psy trance scene,i mean sometimes those "rules" remindes me it's like a fanatic religion,espicialy when its goes to "psytrance VS club music"...some pepole even told me that only because it's called "club music" they dont want to listen to it(you see how much it is more psychologic stuff then realy to listen the music)
c'mon...put the tags you do to music in the side...let the ear judge,not words:)
put the Traditional rules and etc...in the side...open your mind,and let the music do the job
well here there are some tunes,that works perfectly if you put them in morning psytrance party,i put them myself severel times,and it works perfectly...just open your mind,thats all

Why do psy artists become less "psy" over time?
in General Psytrance
Posted
well,try to look at it more in the long term point of view,for example:
how many artist do u know,that make great psy hits during using drugs in those good old days,and now days,cause of using a lot of psy drugs,their mental/mind went wrong,and nowdays they cant function as a normal human beings cause of using psy drugs?
so my point of view is not only "wowowo what a great track/song he made under using psy drugs",my point of view is what happened to some of those artists years later,and what is the Implications of using drugs on those artists?
i was in shock when i saw which artists who went to a Anonymous Drug Rehab program,do u think they care about the music in their status? they just want to get out from this drugs,and fix the damage they made to their brain.
well i can tell for sure some of tha majors psy artists i know,they regrat on the first time they touch any kind of psy drugs,and they pay the price until today.
so at the end,for the long term,using psy drugs,from my point of view,it just dont worth it.
