Trance music is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged in the early 1990s in Germany and the Netherlands. It is characterized by its hypnotic rhythms, emotive melodies, and repetitive structures. Trance music often features a steady beat, a strong bassline, and a build-up and breakdown structure that creates a sense of progression and tension.

The origins of trance music can be traced back to the early 1990s, when DJs and producers in Germany and the Netherlands began experimenting with electronic instruments and technology to create a new sound. They drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including new age, ambient, and classical music, and began to incorporate these elements into their music.

Trance music quickly gained popularity in Europe and soon spread to other countries. By the mid-1990s, the genre had evolved into a more melodic and euphoric sound, known as "uplifting trance" or "euphoric trance". Today, trance is considered a subgenre of electronic dance music, and continues to evolve and be reinvented by new artists and producers.

Trance music is typically played in nightclubs, festivals, and raves, and it's known for its ability to create a feeling of euphoria and to give a sense of introspection. It can be broken down into many subgenres such as progressive, vocal, uplifting, psytrance, and many more. - Created with OpenAI 23.01.23
