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
