trance is crisp and melodic, with peaks and breaks

techno is rhythmic and dirty, with a much more progressive, unbroken flow.

and one ends in an e, and one ends in an o

I'll have to generalise a bit so as not to go into too much detail...

Trance: More melodies and harmony, emotion, tracks 'flow' in that they build up, break down and so forth.

Techno: Less melodic, more just driving beats, effects, etc, not at all dramatic or emotional in the way that trance can be.

Yup, I thought so. I like Trance better.

Techno has more metallic and clanky sounds. Like pots and pans whacking against each other, but in a good way.

I think the main difference Trance is more upbeat like most people have said. Techno seems to be like just breakbeats if i can say. Trance is more meledies, and synths etc. Some of which is kinda hard to say. But music is music.

And yeah.... I like trance WAY better.

Trance is full of sellouts who have no guts to speak up

Techno is full of moody, angry old men who hate everything cept techno.
