I think there were too many Eurodance projects at the end of the 90s. People simply lost interest in keeping up with it and eventually

got tired of the sound. But in other countries like Japan the Eurodance sounds was popular until 2004 and then Hands Up and Trance took over.

After great success of 90s,coming more commercial version of eurodance Hands Up.What you think about that style? Yeah, Hands Up. I never really liked that kind of music. It sounds cheap with too much bass and too less lyrics. But there are some projects that made nice Hands Up songs.
