why did they tag house on to the end of scouse?
its played at 140bpm.
kinda silly to call it a new genre just cuz it has a different bassline sound.

Actually, and I know this sounds weird, but "Japanese hardcore" and "J-Core" are sort of different. I hear J-core more associated with otaku speedcore/doujin hardcore stuff, whereas Japanese hardcore is more appropriately used for the Japanese hardcore that sounds not too dissimilar to the UK hardcore we listen to here (i.e. artists like Buzzmasta and Shimamura).
Because of cultural differences between different areas of the world, I think it's fair to tag a country's name on the start of a genre if the sound is significantly different. I mean, if someone said "spanish hardcore" to you, you'd probably instantly think of makina, which also has it's own particular sound. For the same reason, I think that J-pop is quite different to British pop (we don't have idol groups and such singing denpa songs over here!). It is the same way you can describe Japanese cooking and say, German cooking as different things.
