I don't really understand. Surely the Magik compilations were classic uplifting trance? Stuff like Rank 1 - Airwave, Binary Finary - 1998, Atlantis Vs Avatar - Fiji? How much more euphoric can you possibly want to go?

Anyway, I recommend you give this mix a listen. Not sure if there's enough unicorn jizz for you in there, but for me this represents the very peak of classic '99 era uplifting trance done well:

You're right lol. I have no excuses and honestly I just couldnt see that it is classic uplifting Trance. I agree that these are euphoric classic uplifting songs, however, I always feel like it was a bit darker at the same time. I hope this makes in any sense... it's still great though I love those songs. The euphoric I was looking for is actually the very happy, flying in the skies, light hearted, fluffy, preppy euphoria.

Because aren't there all types of euphoric?

Some euphoric songs are very uplifting in a dark way, such as Tiesto's remix of Flesh/Silence. IT'S EITHER THAT, OR I AM MISINTERPRETING EPIC/ANTHEM TRANCE FOR EUPHORIA. my gosh I dont even know anymore either. I definitely those songs are all uplifting, epic, and anthem. It's hard for me to differentiate them haha.

I think that if I'm listening to epic/anthem Trance and if I'm getting a kick out of it, and if I'm hella happy listening to it, then I consider it euphoria too.

Okay you know what, I'm gonna stop and just hope that I am making sense. I am totally confused between the labels now haha. (it's late right now)

I'll come back tomorrow with a clearer sense of mind and perhaps explain

You will find alot of good melodic trance in the mix in my sig.

There's nothing to differentiate. They are all exactly the same thing.

It's very difficult when you define music by how it makes you feel, because everyone feels euphoric from different music. Some people call Burial's music euphoric. I think a lot of older tracks had a melancholic edge to the eughoria, or were simply more restrained, but I think that's a good thing. I think tracks that just gush 100% super-happiness are totally childish.
