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.

Trancy

Feeling entranced, as if by a spell. A positively-disoriented state of mind/being/feeling, resulting from falling in love or feeling exceptionally strong vibes between one-another.

I met this AMAZING girl, who is so down to earth, listens to EVERYTHING I have to say & replies to every thing that I say with her own, positive, loving thoughts. She’s got me feeling so trancy.

When one is surfing for pornography on the internet and unintentionally stumbles upon transvestite porn, they have been tranbushed. Initial shock effects that occur when one has been severely tranbushed can include but are not limited to; permanent psychosis, life long abstinence, loss of consciousness, cardiac arrest, projectile vomiting, and limp dick.

1) Billy went on his dad's computer to look at adult entertainment but was tranbushed and he instantly fainted. He awoke 6 hours later to a very disappointed father.

Trancestep

A derivative of hardcore breakbeat techno’s drum’n’bass. Distinguishable from other electronic music subgenres by combining nonlinear, polyrhythmic beats, rhythms, and bassline structures exclusively with the sparse, dense, and hypnotic textured melodic sequences of trance synth lines.

Trance

A type of Electronic Dance Music. Reached it's peak in the late 90's where Trance actually became somewhat mainstream in the U.S.
Although not as strong as it used to be...Trance is far from dead. Rather it is simply just evolving into different forms(Progressive Trance is the style now these days).
Popular in Europe.

Trance...best music ever.
