Lots of different trance gendres.

For years I thought "Euro trance" was my thing. I like stuff from Tiesto, Van Dyk, Jurgen, Van Buuren and the likes. But I read on the forum that this perticular gendre is way off the sort I listen too.

What category does my style fall into then?

How many sub categories of trance are there really?

It's so all over the shop today, especially with trance that's it's become difficult to even place many tracks in just one genre.

So many elements intertwine.

You seem like you like your melodic and uplifting trance more. Euro Trance (or rather Euro Dance) would be more stuff like from Lasgo. The slightly more commercial type of vocal tracks.

So when people ask what gendre I like, the answer is uplifting? Not a bad name, a positive twist to it :-)

Too many bpms gets me stressed out, and too few sleepy. I like it in the middle :-)

genre

And no there isn't much of a difference between that and lasgo, DJ Sammy, etcetera. Euro Trance is the correct term.

There isn't much difference between Lasgo and Ferry? Are you on crack?

When people ask you what gender you like, you should take a good hard look at what they look like before you answer

Yeah I think you'd term what you like as euphoric/uplifting or commercial trance, often good to mention the country your thinking of too.

Are you?

The only people who really think there is are Ferry Corsten fans who are trying to distance themselves from some bad stigma.

Trance is basically divided in two categories: euro trance (trance originated in Germany) and psy(chedelic) trance (trance from India and Israel). They've been developing around the same time at different places and sound very distinctive from each other. Euro trance is an umbrella term for classic, hard, prog, epic... trance and psy trance for goa, full on, prog, dark...

It's funny to see "all-psy-sounds-the-same-people" dividing euro trance in so many subgenres and styles (wtf is power trance?!), yet summing up all non-euro trance to just psy/goa.

I see that fans of trance fail to have a common understanding of the "sub categories". Uplifting to see that I'm not alone :-)

Yes. And that once again proves that they are plain idiots.
