Well, let's see. When Disco died at the end of the 1970s, there was sort of a void left. Overall pop music gradually formed a whole new mega-category that today is now called "Dance & Electronica".
Within this main category, there are many smaller sub-genres. These include Techno, Trance, House, Freestyle, Dance-pop, Eurodance, Hi-NRG, Progressive Dance, Tribal, Electro, and many many others.
They have a wide range between them...House is a little more "soulful"... while Techno and Electro are often considered a "hard dance" sound...and Trance is usually a fast but heavy-melodic sound...while Freestyle has a slight latin-feel, and Dance-pop is usually a typical Pop music with a Dance beat.
But they all are part of the main Dance/Electronica genre because they depend heavily on synthesizer sounds, and pulsating dance beats.
