"breakcore, trancore, happy hardcore!!" its confusing why break it off in2 sub genres when its all HARDCORE!!!!! it pisses me rite off sorry but when i listen to a tape i dnt think " ahh yes a nice bit off 4/4 kick core" i think HARDCORE, same when i listen to a diff style...stop breaking it up in2 sub genres coz thats wotz bad 4 da scene!!!! And it creates h8az look at gabber and happy hardcore?:S if we'd av classed it all as hardcore thered av never been a divide or nuffink

Like a bolt of lightning it's so frightning..Get ur brain now we're igniting

heh
well... i know what you mean, cuz i get frustrated with all the differant classifications myself

but...some... well, lol

i mean, i think the distinction between gabber and happy hardcore is there, very rightfully..

though i utterly sympathise

cuz honeslty, i don't even know half the break off genres, it's one of the many things i'm trying to learn, so i dunt sound too dumb ;)

I accept that gabber and happy hardcore r very different but i don't think there shud b a kinda divide becoz alot of people who r in2 gabber slag down happy hardcore, and i think the diff genres liek gabber and hardcore shud all b caned in the hardcore room at events and give the ravers alot of hardcore under one name so they get a journey thru the different styles, much liek Hysteria did when they played jungle, hardcore and techno in teh same room.

'Cause we've kept it alive.........

Just yesterday I saw Mental Theo's new video "Stars2002" on TMF, a HHC remix of stars. It's been a long time since I've seen a HHC tune on a Musicchannel and realized then, that it's really coming back...for real
And I guess it's coming better and faster then ever!!!!!

I like the Bass to go BOOM!!!



but they must make quality i think its crap.

Yes...I kinda think that too...
But it ain't that crappy...well it actually is...I liked it...but I was disappointed cause I
expected like really happy tunes...and what I got was a trancy mix of it...
I mean I got to agree the guy started a bit off.....no, really off, but I think he'll
get there eventually...well, I hope he will, 'cause he can make goods...

I like the Bass to go BOOM!!!

Midway i'd say that's fair :)

i think we need to cut down some of the silly sub classifications, just cuz it gets silly....

and minimize the rival spawning ones.... but even better yet
as you where alluding to...

just get more of it in the same room....
advretise one room of yer venue as 'hardcore'
have happycore sets, n gabber sets, n small sets, n tall sets, sets of differant shapes and sizes, sets of... i can't think of a rhyme


it's a matter of getting ppl together, who will all enjoy a variety of styles

I get what u mean. But sub genres and newer genres aren’t made intentionally. It is a natural thing for humans to do, classify differences so we can better pinpoint them and explain/describe them to others. As sounds evolve and change in a genres new ones just grow. Not like someone says, oh lets make up a thing called trancecore and then went and did it...a new sound developed so a name was given to it that best described what it was.

BUT I do agree with u. This hatred between genres is STUPID…not only between hardcore genres but all other forms of electronic music. What got me into the rave seen was partly the idea of unity and togetherness. PARTIES NEED VARIETY. Mix it up play different styles in the same room. We still manage to do it here in Winnipeg all the time (although efforts are made by some against this. There are so many varieties of music to enjoy, stupid to keep them segregated so people can't discover what the other styles have to offer.

it hasn't, never will, not in a million years,
is it going to die?
hmmmm no, no, no no no no no no no no no NO!!!!!!!!
NEVER!!!!
We will stick together, it lasted 20 so years, ALOT longer than any pop music, who is to say it isnt as stong as ever?
It was pridected last year that hhc will come back BIG time by the middle of this year, well, that turns out to be true,
Everywhere is playing it now, happy happy days!

So, whoever says it is "dead" either doesnt know what hhc is, or hasnt been out and about for a ween 'a' years

**Long live hhc, and all those who strive to hear/ play it **



freedom to all who believe!!

aaaallllright............about that sub-genre thing...............i admit that it would be easier to just classify it all as hardcore.....but i think theres a few of us (like myself) that just think thats like saying everykind of electronic music is techno........which most non-electronists refer to it as. I just get pissed off at those ****s that say gabber and happy hardcore is the same, WRONG! it is not! just like trancecore and happycore arent the same............to be truthful,yes, the sub-genres are silly, but there here,and we cant go back cuz it'll just get sillier.....mabye we should define the lines between sub-genres a little better or somthing...........hardcore is (i think) the youngest genre of electronic music out there. Its so versitile and creative that people are experimenting with it (and always will). Would it be fair to those people that create a new kinda music based from the foundation of hardcore to just classify it as hardcore, even though its totaly different.

the point: we can classify trancecore,breakcore,and happycore as hardcore, because they are..........but to just call them all hardcore is ignorant, and i will have no part in it.
