when quite drunk in the back of a car "trancing out" involves raving as hard as possible to house/trance/techno/drum & bass etc. often trance out battles occur to see who is the most drunk/off thier face.

Get the trance out mug.98/99 was trance's downfall from a production and creative level. The cheap gimmick of the build-breakdown-anthem was what allowed it to become so commercial and so successful.
Pure trance is very repetitive, unresponsive, hypnotic, and is an acquired taste.....the exact antithesis to the music that dominated the club scene in 98/99.
Thing is......people are stupid. They have neither the intelligence nor the patience nor the introspection to appreciate something like trance, so they virtually ignored it for most of its existence until trance developed these singalong melodies and flighty, ethereal orchestral chords.
Only when trance brought itself down to the level of the lowest-common denominator of music listeners did it become wildly popular on an unprecedented level. And like anything, it created a theme. A gimmick, in the form of shallow breakdowns and trite, limp anthems. And like any gimmick, it needed to be exploited, milked dry, chewed up and spat out. Trance producers became addicted to the insta-fame the new Anthem Trance gave them. A lot of them started making a very comfortable living, and they refused to go back........they refused to take risks, refused to innovate, refused to produce, succeed, and excel in music. They grew lazy and complacent. It was far easier, after all, to simply replicate the same song over and over again with the same template, with a few minor key changes. They churned out, instead, Pulp Trance, manufactured assembly line McTrance, commercial schlock intended for mass consumption.
The music, like breads and circuses, distracted the ignorant peons from what trance was supposed to be doing to them. They ate it all, of course. Like greedy little consumers, they swallowed the tra(sh)nce whole and asked for more, never thinking about the care or quality of the culture that once fostered it. Like a seed passing undigested through the body of a bird, they drifted in and out of the rave scene, devouring the products of trance but never thinking to enrich and strengthen the community; like parasites, they became docile spectators, free to engorge themselves on the superscene they're told to worship; never to participate, never to involve, never to self-actualize.
And then they proceeded to think that they were (and still are) somehow more cultured and evolved than the rest of society because they listen to this bumping underground trance music, unaware that trance is utilizing essentially the exact same tricks, techniques and sacharine schmaltz that they so loathed about the pop music world. Trance became instrumental pop music in 1998. That's why it became so popular.
Nothing "beautiful" or "magical" about that.

Tiesto's set was Trancetastic!

Get the Trancetastic mug.A word I use to describe trance that cannot go into the rave music, progressive trance, anthem trance, or classic trance in my playlists. It makes you want to dance *cough*horny*cough* at all times, but it's not dance music. It's somehow different.
I believe that Randy Katana and Mojado can be considered erot trance artists.
If I had some E, this erot trance would send me through the wall.

Get the erot trance mug.When a man awakens in an altered state of consciousness due to sexual arousal at any point during the night. While in this frame of mind, his thoughts and actions may exist outside of of his conscious control and include sexting, sleep sex, viewing of pornography, masturbation, or even the purchase of sex toys. He may wake up in the middle of this, or “sleep” through it entirely, and then awaken to the aftermath of whatever his boner led him to do. Similar to sexsomnia, which is a form of parasomnia in which someone will initiate sex while asleep. He may be just awake enough to be conscious but the influence of the raw testosterone coursing through his veins clouds his judgment and leads him by the hand. It is most likely to occur when your sexual urges are not being adequately satisfied, however some men experience this regardless.
“Rodney is a perfect gentleman by day but the moment he falls asleep, he enters a deranged boner trance and cannot rest until his raging erection is satisfied.”

Get the hit or miss im already tracer mug.An extinct form of electronic dance music (EDM for short) that has been wiped out of superiority by way of popularization and commercialization.
Trance used to be good throughout the 90s and early 2000s when it actually contained a beat you could dance to and a melody that could almost literally put you in a trance (hence the name of the genre). Now it's all a bunch of shoddy "HousePop" made by primitive DJs that are trying their absolute hardest to stay in the picture and make money as a result of their chosen career.
