A blend of:
1 The Couch Potatoe: You know who they are...The guys/girls that come in...find their crash pad...and thats where they sit for the night...watching everyone else dance...usually so "under the influence" they can't stand. Or those that usually have an excuse as to why they can't dance..."oh I have bad knees"...or "Oh..I'm really tired". 9 times out of 10 just taking up valuable dance space
1 The DJ Groupie usually seen in the DJ booth, always waiting around for their idol to play, gives them cheerful pep talks no matter how bad the set went. Often goes from DJ to DJ. Travels a lot. Usually female, as there are few female DJs and gays in the trance scene are generally closeted. That's why you don't have a "Gay" here! Unless you count The Progressive... See also Playgirl.
1 List Moderators are forever warring with the only people they can't moderate - each other. Usually has incredible amounts of time on their hands and when in a foul mood will use their power like a club. The Americans of the species are the worst of the lot.
1 The Producer never goes out, always working and rearranging the perfect track. Never makes it happen, but you'd never know that from them making you listen to their cringe-inducing very steep learning curves.. Because they are friends it is difficult to tell them that their tracks suck. Usually pale. Usually has more experience selling ecstasy than in music composition, but that doesn't puncture their enthusiasm. Sometimes through sheer will they make it happen.
1 The Psy Snob - The most nit-picky bastard of them all. Commonly seen walking around and bitching about the sound system or the fact that the music isn't dark/full/progressive/tech/glitch/polka trance enough for their selective taste. Most likely to hate 90% of what he/she hears and then bitch about it on a mailing list afterwards. The never smiling psy snobs are notorious for being the most un-friendly assholes on the dance floor. (submitted by Josh at Init String) Secret Tactics - Psy Snobs creatures can be very complex. They will sometimes appear to be just enjoying the music. Lying in wait as to ambush one of their unsuspecting friends. The friend dances up and says "the music's great , huh?". the psy/snob returns with "nah, I don't really like it" now the friends stumbles away confused by the negative effect his seemingly positive friend just had on them. The psy/snob has developed an ability to pretend to be positive while spewing negative crap at every body else. Go against the psy/snob and they will scream about how negative you are
1 PsySnob Subspecies #2: The Track Nerd knows every track, every year of release, which album or compilation it appears on, and which label published it. Is amazed when he/she shows up to a party and "hears a track they don't recognize." Is usually bombarded with questions by his/her friends such as "what track is this?" and "what compilation did this come out on?" Loves dancing and listening to the music, but sometimes has a hard time staying focused when an unreleased and/or recent release is played that he/she has never heard before. Upon hearing it, the track nerd morphs into the QUESTIONER and asks all present "what track is this?" (anonymous) The track nerd also feels irritated, when trying to enjoy the music, and his/her friends come over and talk to them all time. once in a while gets irritated enough to say it directly "fuck off, I'm trying to dance"
1 The Russian is a bit confused... new country, so many possibilities. Tends to be technologically adept. Forget the rude and boorish stereotype, 99% of Russians in trance are the nicest people you will ever meet. And the most idealistic, a carryover from communism. Some say they are genetically designed to be dark and brooding. The biggest surprise: they rarely drink. A subset is a dark squatter type who only listens to Parasense. All bets are off, however, when mixed with the Israeli. A Russian Israeli when not in jail or being deported is a wild child, often the grease that greases the serotonin levels of a crowd. A theoretical poster child for white supremacists in the Pacific Northwest, the Russian Israeli when on the skids is kicked like a football between the US and Israel.
Ok, everybody post their type

LOL!
3 of my favourites:
DJ/Drug dealer is almost everyone at some point or another... They all want to "take you on a journey." The higher levels can start revolutions.
The Live Set Critic Usually adept with computers and technology, but has no idea what it takes to produce psy-trance Is disgusted when they see people being flown over and paid to - as they put it - "just press spacebar on cubase." This species has no concept of what a live-set is and rarely knows that the person who "just pressed spacebar" had actually spent the last two months sleeping one hour per night to make 5 minutes worth of his set. The L.S.C also tends to be in love with or sometimes even plays a "real musical instrument" - like guitar or drums - and is constantly telling everyone around how an artist doing a live-set is so much less talented than Joey Ramon or Jack White. If seen, consider them dangerous. Approach cautiously inform them of the location of the closest punk-rock show in town, and offer to buy them a ticket. *Close relatives in genus: Trainwreckspotter and Psysnob.*
The Agoraphobe is afraid of wide open spaces. They will never attend an open air event unless they are assured that it is 100% legal, even if it is not. They will go to busted indoor party after busted indoor party, telling themselves that this is the only way to party.

The Confused Enlightenment Seeker These lost souls come to trance parties and believe all the Eastern mysticism, and expect others to take it all as seriously as they do. After dancing for hours they find a glimpse of inner peace. However, in thinking that they went up a notch in "Enlightenment", they thereby negate their humbleness and consequently lose the sense of inner peace. You'll find these people meditating at odd times in disturbing places (both physical such as subways and mental such as when distractive thoughts pop up). They will often discuss both sides of a paradox in the same paragraph and expect the listener to choose one of them to be true so that they can counter it with the flip-side. Often seen following the Cult Leader or the Philosopher around. (See also Artist, Dancer, Day Tripper, Hippie, False-Humble, and Producer)
