　└■I don't understand music types like "trance" or "somethingcore" at all (;＾Д^)
　　│
　　├■Trance is pretty simple to define - it's Techno-derived electronic 
　　││dance music, usually around 130-140 BPM, with a focus on melody, long 
　　││epic breakdowns/build-ups, and invoking a sense of "euphoria" and 
　　││dreaminess
　　││
　　││It typically has supersaws/hypersaws as the lead instrument, plucky 
　　││pizzicato chords/arpeggios, and robotic pulsating/offbeat basslines. 
　　││Was wildly popular in Europe between the mid-90s and early 2000s - 
　　││you'd hear it on mainstream radio stations daily
　　││
　　││------------------------------------------------------------------------
　　││
　　││Hardcore is a little more difficult to define since it refers to differ-
　　││ent things in different places and at different times, but it's general-
　　││ly a fast-paced form of Techno that originated in the early 90s
　　││
　　││In the UK circa the early 90s specifically, it commonly consisted of 
　　││Techno beats & synths combined with Hip-hop style breakbeats & samples, 
　　││largely due to how House, Techno, Hip-hop, and Rare Groove (old under-
　　││ground American funk records from the late 60s and 70s) was often all 
　　││played at the same events by the same DJs in the mid-to-late 80s
　　││
　　││The rave scene split in 1994 caused the breakbeats, reggae sounds, and 
　　││darker/moodier sounds to develop into Jungle (later Drum 'n' Bass), 
　　││while the 4x4 kicks and cheesy pianos developed into 4beat/Happy Hard-
　　││core with more of a Scottish and Dutch (Gabber) influence
　　││
　　││Since then, "Hardcore", "Hard", and "-core" have been added to the 
　　││front and end of dance genres to refer to faster, wilder, and/or more 
　　││aggressive forms ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　││
　　│└■Awesome summary. There are definitely sum terms I'm seeing here for the first time, which will surely help me appreciate music better. Although, now I'm anxious. Could someone answer OP's original question about jtrance songs similar to what they posted? I think I ought to expand my tastes...ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
