We're going in a steady mixing of genres, the two "camps" of the generic uplift and generic electro are getting bashed with techier stuff (and I mean techno stuff, not some pussy 'hardstyle' that acts like "techtrance"), which, combined with the percussive style of minimal, that's getting deeper and deeper into trance world (which is awesome btw), will produce some really really good music.
Taking the best elements of the genres, mashing them up into something that purists would never define as trance, but, is still more trancy than anything.
Last great shake of the scene was introduction of electro, premiering with Life Less Ordinary (in lesser measure in This World Is Watching Me, but neglectful at the time), but that was quite a few years ago, scene adjusted, and we've gone quite a long way from that, mixing up different genres together, that make quite awesome pieces of music, think Seven Weeks for example.
The uber popular Discover sound of 2005-2007 got overplayed, nothing new was coming up, everybody used the same pluck from virus, the first tracks were top, then everything sounded the same and it died on itself. Same was with the first wave of electro-trance, now with the introduction of minimal techno elements into trance, options are pretty much limitless, but we'll surely be seeing a lot of good mashes in the future, going more towards electro-minimal, but with a trance drive. Still very danceable music that'll headline the genre.
Of course the generic uplift will never die, since it still attracts a lot of people (but mostly newcomers to trance), afterwards it gets boring listening to the same b and a minor progressions at 137-138 bpm and people like to switch to some more 'advanced' sounds, but I'm getting a bit off topic slowly
