Trance

Trance is a style of electronic dance music that developed in the 1980s. Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 160 BPM, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track. It often features crescendos and breakdowns. Sometimes vocals are also utilized. The style is arguably derived from a combination of largely electronic music such as ambient music, techno, and house.

interesting genre, I used to like it alot, then got out of it, thinking it just wasn't good music, but I'm appreciating it again, well some of it, I think its one of those genre's thats got a lot of bullshit to sift through, but you can find some gems, I really dig the repetitiveness of a trance song, if its good, and includes multiple additions throughout, but just the groove that lasts for the entire song from beginning to end is great.

@all the people saying trance sucks. Music is subjective, therefore you've no reason to insult people's tastes. But the same can be said to those who judge what the 'haters' like, also. Don't you think it's a little bit grade school to insult something simply because something you like got insulted? I mean really people, it's music.

You can't say "it sucks" about a music genre if you can't understand it. For me, metal = garbage! Pop, dance, r&b singers are just some idiots who loves playback (most of them).

I just think it's funny how people who've apparently never heard proper trance music all of a sudden have enough knowledge to say it is "LOL TEH EPIC FAIL *jacks off*". It's just as bad as when people blindly say hip-hop sucks or metal sucks when all they hear are the most cliched, stereotypical examples of those genres.
