Trance VS Techno???

I've become confused reading over some posts here and on different sites about the differences between Trance and techno. For me i think part of the problem is i reffered to all electronic music as techno for quite some time. So i was wondering if someone could give me an example of a very typical trance song vs a very typical techno song that would be easy to find. What are the main differences in the sound? I THOUGHT I was always a verrry solid trance fan, but i'm thinking maybe some of my songs lean towards other categories... o well i'm hoping i can get a few helpful replies and not just a bunch bitching me out for saying "techno" too many times in one post hahahaha. later everyone. Happy belated New year

Techno = DJ Rush - Get On Up (Chris Liebing Mix)

Trance = Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave

listening to these songs, put them in their respective categories and you will never make that mistake again. its not like there are subtle differences between the two, the difference between trance and techno is fairly overt

there is some melodic techno, so it can get confusing.
the way you can make a difference is how comercial a track sounds. trance is way more comercial then techno.
thats not always a bad thing, since trance can get more fans this way.

This is what I don't understand... a bunch of people keep saying "Let's keep trance underground!" when trance is the most commercial and most accesible form of EDM to the mass public. The problem is the public doesn't even know the term trance and just calls everything techno.

I sometimes have a hard time differentiating between techno and certain types of hard trance, I think there's a point where the two genres blend.

You can also download different sets like:

Techno
Adam Beyer
Dave Clarke
Speedy J

compare to:

Trance
Tiesto
Armin Van Burren
Paul Van Dyk

Each has their own unique sound. Techno makes you move your ass while trance takes you on that epic journey. You also have to understand that techno has a harder aspect like trance, Rush, Wittkind, or Amok; or softer, Robert Hood or Christian Bloch. But as you explore and listen to the genre more and more, then you will start to know the difference.

Don't forget, there's also a House genre too.
