Genre Names don't always (have to) make sense.
The UK Hardcore came up when Trance influences took over and the music became more melancholic due to it while the dutch Hardcore was very aggressive and clearly something else. The genre always retained it's take to not be too serious while being very versatile. Bringing the Happy back (and dropping the UK) gives reference to the melancholia taking the backseat over the last years, it becoming very international and also no similar genre with the dutch anymore. It shows that there are +20 Years of History to come from and finally it's already a brand/name and not something out of the blue.

Yes, I call it Hardcore funnily enough
But then the European scene obviously coins that term. Plus, it's a bigger scene so they have baggsy really.
The European scene can suck my plums! Doesn't make any difference to what I think. I, you and plenty of others know the difference so it isn't much of an issue.
There isn't a term that covers all, so shall we go for Fast Dance Music?
FDM is the future!
Lets trend it on Twitter, maybe s3rl can be happy :P
