Additionally, I'd often equate "anthem" with a bold, epic feel... like something that might accompany a dramatic action scene in a film if the music was not traditional orchestral.
Something that calls the listeners to attention and inspires, like a National Anthem -- it rouses up emotions, and often will contain multiple builds and climaxes. In other words, dynamic contrast. If you can march an army to it and give a grand speech whilst doing so, it just might be . . . an anthem 
Another common element of trance anthems are snare rolls... when you hear a snare drum or other sharp percussive instrument rise in volume on top of the mix, and go
CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH *CYMBAL BANG!!!*
i should add, wild snare rolls are often found mating with the infamous "climactic air swoooooooooooshhh" and the "domestic reversed cymbal". |
All jokes aside that is the best description I have ever read in words of the ups and downs of trance(climax), i can feel it by just reading it

That list actually seems quite good for being something MTV has put together...
