Is there a map that shows where all these different types of music fit in? I tried to make one. Feel free to edit it and repost.





Hrm, I forgot House in general.

harcore came before hardtrance, hardtrance just stemmed from trance bieng made harder, also hardhouse comes from hardcore.

Help the dumb American out, oh ye from foreign lands but with musical knowledge.

well about the hardcore part

i would do it this way:

old school gabber (born in 1991, holland) & speedcore (1993, usa) -> artcore & darkcore -> happy hardcore (1995, holland) -> new style (1997, holland)

Whats the difference between "epic" and "uplifting" trance?

Uplifting Trance is kind of a name for all those not too hard, melodic emotional Trance tunes, Epic is the part of it that is massive, long, has huge buildups etc.

Also, I think emotional trance branches off of uplifting trance.

To be honest I don't think there's a difference between "epic" and "uplifting"... and I've never heard of "emotional". Sure, I may describe a trance track as uplifting, epic or emotional, but that doesn't mean I'd give it its own genre. The best term for this type of trance is melodic, since whether a track is uplifting, epic or emotional (according to your definitions) it's going to have some sort of melody. This also differentiates it from prog or tech trance, which typically has a reduced melodic content.

exactly

thats why i asked the original question..."uplifting" and "epic" are the same thing...and they're not genre's, only ways to describe a track. I just call it all trance...or prog trance or prog house (i don't believe there's a genre simply called "progressive").

Whatever, nowadays there's all these mixtures of differen't style's...it can become mind-boggling to classify a track into a specific genre.

Hardcore -> Happy harcore
Breaks -> jungle, drum and bass, garage, 2 step (not 100% sure on these)
Trance -> hard, melodic, epic, symphonic, progressive, deep, acid, goa(maybe in its own genre)
Techno -> acid, minimal, chicago, hardcore?,
House -> techhouse, progressive, deep, funky, chill?, hard, electro?
Experimental
Ambient
Goa
