Despite having Trance in its name, Psytrance has developed as its own entity alongside Uplifting and Progressive. It has its own culture, and is treated as its own genre, even by the longest-running Trance acts.
The genre includes a plethora of subgenres, and this page barely scratches the surface of how diverse Psytrance actually is.
Subgenres[]
Full-On Psytrance[]
A dynamic, playful, and musical subgenre of Psytrance that appeals to a broader audience because of its positive vibe. Unlike of a typical straight Psytrance bassline pattern, the Full-on bassline plays on various notes across few octaves, creating a special rhythm and melody that way. Full-On ranges from 144-152 BPM in most cases.
Progressive Psytrance[]
A subgenre of Psytrance that doesn’t utilize one particular type of sound, but rather focuses on the groove, the flow, and how it progresses over time. Sitting around 134-140 BPM, the genre is the most popular style of Psytrance for newer listeners.
