Uplifting trance, often synonymous with epic trance, anthem trance, emotional trance, or euphoric trance is a term used to describe a large sub-genre of trance. The name, which emerged in the wake of progressive trance in 1997, is derived from the feeling which listeners claim to get (often described as a "rush").The genre, which originated in Germany, is massively popular in the trance scene, and is one of the dominant forms of dance music worldwide.
