Wow, is trance really considered niche? Your music is a perfect fit for so many aspects of life, and it's awful that the genre is completely flushed out with AI chill/focus/study playlists. I personally listen to Blue Turtle's AI-free fantasy playlists while I work. Back in the age of CDs I had so many trance mixes that I'd listen to driving or just zoning out in my bedroom. It's an incredible type of music that I hold near and dear.

The influx of AI everywhere IS distressing, but it's good you're in a better spot mentally now. I'd encourage you to keep creating. If not music, find an outlet to express yourself, even if The Plagiarism Machine can do it 1000x faster. Because creating is clearly important to you, or any artistically minded person. I enjoy TTRPGs and it's so satisfying to worldbuild, come up with scenarios for my players, and improvise at the table. Making stuff will both keep you sane and benefit those around you.
