Trance music is broken into a number of subgenres including [[acid trance]], classic trance, [[hard trance]], progressive trance,<ref name="tranceexperience" /> and [[uplifting trance]].<ref name="tranceexperience" /> [[Uplifting trance]] is also known as "anthem trance", "epic trance",<ref name="tranceexperience" /> "commercial trance",  "stadium trance", or "euphoric trance",<ref name="snomanmanual" /> and has been strongly influenced by classical music in the 1990s<ref name="tranceexperience" /> and 2000s by leading artists such as [[Ferry Corsten]], [[Armin Van Buuren]], [[Paul Van Dyk]], [[Tiësto]], [[Mike Dierickx|Push]], [[Rank 1]] and at present with the development of the subgenre "orchestral uplifting trance" or "uplifting trance with symphonic orchestra" by such artists as Sound Apparel, [[Andy Blueman]], Ciro Visone, Soundlift, Arctic Moon, and Sergey Nevone & Simon O'Shine, among others. Closely related to uplifting trance is [[Eurodance]], which has become a general term for a wide variety of highly commercialized European dance music. Notably late in the 1990s, German producer [[ATB (DJ)|ATB]] revolutionized the scene of the aforementioned Eurodance with his hit single "[[9 PM (Till I Come)]]". Several subgenres are crossovers with other major genres of electronic music. For instance, [[tech trance]] is a mixture of trance and techno, and [[vocal trance]] "combines [trance's] progressive elements with pop music".<ref name="tranceexperience" /> The [[dream trance]] genre originated in the mid-1990s, with its popularity then led by [[Robert Miles]], who composed [[Children (composition)|Children]] in 1996. Recently, there is also a very small subgenre called "medieval trance", which combines medieval elements together with trance elements, e.g. Maestro Giano, Green Clouds and other artists, which are effectively a kind of "reverse [[Bardcore]]".

[[AllMusic]] states on progressive trance: "the progressive wing of the trance crowd led directly to a more commercial, chart-oriented sound since trance had never enjoyed much chart action in the first place. Emphasizing the smoother sound of [[Eurodance]] or house (and occasionally more reminiscent of [[Jean-Michel Jarre]] than [[Basement Jaxx]]), Progressive Trance became the sound of the world's dance floors by the end of the millennium. Critics ridiculed its focus on predictable breakdowns and relative lack of skill to beat-mix, but progressive trance was caned by the hottest DJ."<ref name="AMProgTrance">{{cite web|title=Progressive Trance|url=http://www.allmusic.com/style/progressive-trance-ma0000011914|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref>
