Hey has any1 noticed how the two words happy hardcore has the word core in itself. i know it means The central or innermost part: the hard elastic core of a baseball; a rod with a hollow core. but does this sum it up then that hardcore is the main concern in happy hardcore, seriously if it s like this then the person who made d name up Happy hardcore must of chosen wrong word choice. Cause im preety sure most Happy hardcore listeners rnt much into hardcore so yeahhh.
Well anywayz if any1 has a a solution to it plz do post it im curious to hear what it means for the word core being there

alright, did i read this correctly? well im sorry yogi, but happy hardcore is hardcore. its hardcore, that makes you happy (the uplifting vocals/melodies and what not). Hardcore is the music that came first, then people threw in the tag happy, to accompany it.

I once looked hard-core up in the dictionary and the definition was " the purist form form or representation of sopmething." That is probaly why it was called hardcore techno. then when it started to sound happy they called it happy hardcore. then when it started to sound trancy they caleed it trance core. and the process will keep repeating itself till we are like i remember when it was all happy hard core. but then there are people who are saying i remember when it was all hardcore. and people saying i remember when it was all techno. and people saying i remeber when it was all music.

I don't think any genre deserves to be named oldskool...but thats actually refered to as the old songs, guess everybody get that.
And yes, hardcore is the main concern in happy hardcore, hence the name hardcore in it. But hardcore is the name of the genre, listen to them both and you'll see the similarity, you gotta agree here. But there's an obvious difference offcourse...(I find it hard to describe the music)...But that's why it's called happy hardcore...to refer at the Happy Hardcore, not the Hardcore.
It's like someone says that he likes punkrock, that doesn't mean he likes hardrock.
I hope everybody gets my point.

The core is like the basic in the genre, the shell is what makes it different, so
one has a plain hardcore-shell and the other a happy coloring on the shell.
Like a "rose=hardcore" and "blue=happy"...so "blue rose=happy hardcore".
I don't think I can make it any clearer.

And ppl, stop asking these kind a questiones, it just twisted my mind so bad, I don't think I can think anymore for today

I like the Bass to go BOOM!!!

but, if they are calling older hardcore oldskool, and they have new school stuff coming out, what's in between, and what happens when the new school evolves?


heh, blue roses =) (n e one read the glass menagerie?)

I agree wit Atlas. Happy Hardcore is hardcore except happy hence Happy Hardcore. Its more upliftin and sort of euphoric yet fast and makes u wanna get up and dance. Or more easily summed up as: Happy Hardcore = Best music EVAAAAAAAAA
