Guest djnemo Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It is very popular today to have a full on-progressive fights and this is something that always puzzled me since I believe that these genres have more similarities that differences. Before you read this topic keep in mind three things. i) This is not against any kind. I said it before: if you like full on listen to it. If you like progressive do the same. ii)I don't consider myself as a progressive fan, nor a full on fan. (I really love aggressive full on, but I dislike the Israeli style which is the 70% of the whole full on scene) iii)This is not for every full on or progressive artist, but for the majority of them. So, we all know the differences between these genres, it's time for the similarities: 1) They are both clubby music. 2) They are both non psychedelic music. Although they are still Psy trance genres they are not true psychedelic. (But as I said in (iii) there are many exceptions) 3) Both of them have a fan core that bash the other in a ridiculous way. They are many-many full on lovers that bash progressive music as boring shit and they are many-many pro lovers that bash full on as silly music. 4) They are both minimalistic compare to other genres (Goa for example). 5) The both have boring bass. The difference is in the speed and in the volume. 6) They are the most popular genres this time. Although full on is much more famous, progressive releases are selling incredibly well. If you don't believe me check out the charts in Psyshop. 7) Both of them were for a time THE popular genre in the scene. Full on from 2003 until today, progressive from 2000 to 2002. 8) They both destroyed Goa! If your memory is good you must remember that Goa dissapeared in 2000 when almost everybody went to the progressive,minimal, tech-trance sound of Digital Structures records etc. Suddenly no one liked Goa anymore and Goa went poof! Of course at the end of 2002 full on took the lead and finished the job. 9) They both have some of the silliest covers. Full on is like that and progressive like that 10) They both have many acts that use vocals in their tracks. 11) Full on is getting closer day by day to cheesy eurotrance, pure trance or pop trance for some ppl, while progressive is getting closer to House,Techno or progressive trance (not the psygressive but the progressive pure trance) 12) They both have parties that don't look like Psy parties. There are many full on parties that look like Tiesto meets Bomfunk MC'S and many progressive paties that are like Dimitri From Pais meets Ian Pooley. 13) They both have almost nothing to do with the original Psy spirit. IMO Ok there are many more but I think it's enough. I'll say again this is not a bash topic and I'm talking for the majority since they are many-many-many exceptions in both full on and progressive genre. The motto behind this topic is one: LISTEN THE MUSIC YOU LIKE AND FULL ON AND PROGRESSIVE LOVERS LET'S MAKE PEACE. 431287[/snapback] This is all of course your opinion, and I can respect that.
