And for what it's worth, minimalism as a musical concept and idea is at least 40 years older than trance.

It's the one that has the staying power.

However, I think it's also safe to say that most of today's cliche "minimal" dance music doesn't really fit that musical concept.

Minimal dance music is nothing new. However, its popularity certainly is.

Eh, to sum it up: An amalgamation of genres, mainly 2-step garage and dub. Most prominent features are, thus, subbass and breakbeats in various forms. Other than that, anything goes, which is why it has gained popularity within so many other scenes. Probably the biggest rising electronic genre today.
