Disco was underground and the first form of dance music (Dance music not electronic music so let's not get confused) of course it became popular with 'Saturday Night Fever' and they progressed it, pioneers like Frankie Knuckles and Marshall Jefferson. Many people say if it's electronic and you can feel it it's house music This goes more in-depth

or u could just say it began from the beatbox

techno is oriented around the rhythm, trance is oriented around a melody.

Ironically enough, most people seem to find techno to be more hypnotic than trance, for it's emphasis on rhythm and percussion leads it to discard big filter sweeps and arps and whatnot, things that would otherwise distract you.
