Genre born in Germany in the early 90's characterized by fast and energetic hard beats, arpegio sequences, acid sounds, dreamy and psychedelic atmosphears, and breakdowns.
The early Trance scene was started in Frankfurt by the hand ofs artists like Sven Väth, Paul van Dyk, Laurent Garnier, and Jam and Spoon.
During the 90's Trance diversified into different styles, including Progressive House, Ibiza Trance, and Hard Trance.
Trance is the most emotional genre. It can make you cry, make you shout, make you cheer, and make you celebrate absolutely nothing of substance except pure, ecstatic bliss. This is interesting, when at one time it was very repetitive and hypnotic (hence its label 'trance') and was very easy to get lost in whilst divulging in aforementioned emotions. But now it's quite difficult to get entranced due mostly to the fact that the genre has devolved into such trite, derivative junk that even the biggest culprits of it are having trouble lying about how interesting it is.
