By 1992, the Goa trance scene had a pulse of its own,{{clarify|this is meaningless|date=January 2021}} though the term "Goa trance" did not become the characterization of the genre until around 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oranjebus.com/home-en/item/psychedelic-trance|title=Oranje bus – Psychedelic Trance|website=www.oranjebus.com}}</ref> The Goa trance sound, which, by the late 1990s, was being used interchangeably with the term psychedelic trance, retained its popularity at outdoor [[rave]]s and festivals,{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} but also permanent psytrance nightclubs emerged such as [[Natraj Temple]] in Munich.<ref name="psytranceclub">{{cite web|title=Country: Germany|url=http://www.mushroom-magazine.com/germany-2013/ | publisher=Mushroom Magazine|date= 1 May 2013|access-date=25 March 2017}}</ref> New artists were appearing from all over the world and it was in this year that the first Goa trance festivals began, including the Gaia Festival in France and the still-running VooV festival in Germany.

In 1993, the first 100% Goa trance album was released, ''Project II Trance'', featuring tracks by [[Martin Freeland|Man With No Name]] and [[Hallucinogen (musician)|Hallucinogen]], to name two. Goa trance enjoyed its commercial peak between 1996 and 1997 with media attention and some recognized names in the DJ scene joining the movement. This hype did not last long and once the attention had died down, so did the music sales, resulting in the failure of record labels, promotion networks and also some artists. This "commercial death of Goa trance" was marked musically by Matsuri Productions in 1997 with the release of the compilation ''Let it RIP''. On the back sleeve of the album at the bottom of the notes, “R.I.P : Mother Theresa, Princess Diana, William Burroughs & Goa Trance” was written.

While the psytrance genre began in the Goa trance scene, it went on to proliferate globally.<ref name="acmp">{{cite book |title=Altering Consciousness: Multidisciplinary Perspectives, Volume 1 |last=Cardeña |first=Etzel |author2=Michael Winkelman  |year=2011 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-0313383083 |pages=212–213 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1T7enU4PEwsC}}</ref> Its impact was felt in western Europe, Middle East, North America, Australia, Japan and South Africa.<ref name="acmp"/> Psytrance is linked to other music genres such as [[big beat]], [[electroclash]], [[grime (music)|grime]] and [[2-step garage|2-step]].<ref name="asts">{{cite book |title=Altered State: The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House |last=Collin |first=Matthew  |publisher=Profile Books |isbn=978-1847656414 |page=335 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fc8x9qeCekQC|date=2010}}</ref> The genre evolved in conjunction with the multimedia psychedelic arts scene.<ref name="acmp"/>
