Lifeless electronic music of the 4/4 variety. Wishes it were techno. Signified by aggravatingly long drum rolls, low-frequency synth stabs opposite every downbeat and positively mindless melodies that evoke no feeling in serious-minded electronic music enthusiasts. Trance music is often favoured by unsocialized "emo" teens and grown men with ambiguous sexual identities.

Get the trancemug. Techno with a march layered over the standard 4-on-the-floor drums. Beatless portions are interspersed throughout; these "ambient" sections then get an accompanying snare roll that doubles several times until the bass drums resume. Typically 130-160 BPM.
Characteristic tracks include:
Robert Miles - "The Dream"
Astral Projection - "Mahadeva"
Commander Tom - "Are Am Eye?"

Get the trancemug. Slow lyric, fast beat.
Although trance may have links to all types of music, this is the simplest way it can be explained.
The general public's exposure to this music is limited to "club anthems" and other saturday night remixes on radio stations.
