trance

Trance music is experimental electronic (opposite to instrumental) dance music which orients around harmonious sound textures (a.k.a. melody textures).

It originated back in late 80's but became an official genre in 1993. Since then trance producers started to form definition in various ways, what led to creation of many trance sub-genres.. Some of the most known are:

(1) Progressive trance - lowers ratio between melody progression and melody texturing to some solid level..
(2) Epic & Anthem trance - emphasizes sound melody more than melody texturing. This trance-sellout led to big disappointment for original-trance listeners
(3) Psychedelic trance - changed the sound texturing dimension.. original trance tried to make a repetitive sound by combining complex layers of melody textures.. psy-trance tried to make it more progressive in time - by making it more complex in gating

Opposite to trance is techno - which orients around non-harmonic (percussive) textures.

Age Of Love - Age Of Love (classic trance)
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (progressive trance)
L.S.G. - Netherworld (dark-progressive trance)
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel (epic trance)
Infected Mushroom - Acid Killer (psy-trance)
Astral Projection - Mahadeva (goa trance)

Ukulele Trance

Whenever you are just so bored that you get out your ukulele and learn the lyrics and chords to every song that pops into your head for a while until you realize that you've been going at it for hours...

"Why has Sierra just been sitting there playing random music for over 2 hours?"

"She's got nothing better to do. She's in a ukulele trance ."

Trancel

A trancel is a transgender person who can’t accept the fact that a heterosexual person does not want to have sex with them and then tries to shame the person for not having sex with them usually involving some threat of violence

Dude in a dress: hey normal lesbian girl, let’s have sex because I am a girl and lesbian just like you.

Lesbian: no thank you, I’m not interested and you’re obviously a guy in a dress.

Dude in a dress: hey bigoted lesbian, I have a girl dick so I am a lesbian too, if you don’t suck my girl dick I’ll bash your transphobic head in

Lesbian: you’re such a trancel
