Trance: everyone's favorite guilty pleasure. But especially beloved by Eastern European bros, 40-year-old Koreans, and people who stand on street corners trying to give you free hugs. We picked up a bunch of monkeys, giant penguins, DJs and the people with the MOST TRANCE TATTOOS EVER at this year's Electric Zoo festival and quizzed them about what the essence—nay, the very soul—of trance looks like. Their answers ranged from serious to weird to kind of wrong to WTF ARE YOU EVEN ON, GUY WITH THE "I'M SO HAPPY" SHIRT? Point is, whether your inclinations skew towards Armin Van Buuren'sepic odysseys or Anjunabeats' soaring lullabies, blissing out to trance is like floating around a bathtub full of milk and honey. Don't deny it. You wanna do that so bad.
