I was not going to discuss genres. There's a huge difference between techno and trance, but the difference between techno and trance producers and audience is not just as huge, is what I meant.

What's a Pill Chill?

A depressant, duh!....

Techno
1. Techno mainly focuses on percussion - the beats, while the melody is usually non-existent or very subtle in a techno track. By employing a wide variety of abstract drum patterns, techno doesn't need a melody to make it interesting.
2. Techno generally has fewer layers than trance, so it may seem more repetitive, but this allows it to be layered nicely on top of other techno tracks without sounding too busy.
3. Build-ups are rare in techno. Instead, a techno song usually consists of constant pumps of high energy.
4. Techno is older than trance, originally created in the early-to-mid 80s by black Americans in Detroit.
5. Techno is generally harder than trance, groovier, it makes you want to forget about your problems and dance like a crazy person all night long!

Trance
1. Trance mainly focuses on the melody. It's all about the lead synths, whooshing pads, and pretty strings.
2. Trance generally has more layers than techno, and for this reason it is usually less repetitive since there is more to add or subtract and change up the sound.
3. Trance usually has one or more build-ups, each followed by a release.
4. Trance is newer than techno, created in the early 90s by white people in Europe (Germany originally).
5. Trance is more uplifting, it is music for the mind. It finds escape in dreaming more than it does in dancing, though it's good for that too!

Trance sounds a hell of a lot better.

Techno can sound good too. Actually, I'd say it has greater potential even, it just requires a lot more effort to get techno to sound good, as you have less to work with.
And I disagree on trance being good for dancing. Only dance I've seen someone do to trance is shuffle, and I wouldn't even call that a dance. That'd be blasphemy.

@ Chill Pills:
Nono.
It means: take a break with those pills, because Panda guy is eating too many caffeine pills and getting moody.

no body likes a moody panda.

Techno is nice since I'm into trance because of techno. Though my devotion for techno has gone down significantly.

But this opened my interest for smooth jazz.

Anyway, thank you, techno.

Actually I just copied and pasted that techno/trance analysis from another site. And you caught me out of context when I said, "Trance sounds a hell of a lot better." I meant that: from the information I pasted, Trance sounds like it would be less boring, and more musical. And I know what "Take a Chill Pill" means. But, since a majority of the people on DA are dyslexic, they didn't notice that mojo said, "Take a Pill Chill," so I responded with a smartass comment.

Bump: Jazz owns everything.

My comment was just as black and smartass, lol. :P
I just unconciously correct it into "Chill Pill", when I wrote the comment. xD

what?? no! you are totally wrong!!

Bump: you can die. you can die in a fiery pit of hell.
