No Worries. I kinda expected someone to remember my name from FB :P

Hey all, thought I'd chime in here if anyone cares for opinionated drivel from a newly registered user!
Personally, I'm embarrassed when I have to tell people my favourite genre of music is Hardcore. At best they might think I like Gabber, but at worst (and usually) they know enough to equate hardcore with Hixxy, Styles, HTID and "Save Me". Or at least in my mind those are the things that are synonymous with Happy Hardcore nowadays. To me, saying happy hardcore now implies cheese, commercial, crap. Sorry :/
Truth be told for the past few years I've been existing strictly on a diet of freeform and breakbeat hardcore. Even more so since the demise of USH I've really not had anywhere to download mixes and keep myself up to date, aside from the occasional foray onto soundcloud, or the quarterly binge on tracks off the CLSM store. Heck, I've even gone to a few deep house nights and loved them.
Anyway, I hope this is going somewhere, but recently the line up for the last HU event coaxed me out (since I'm down in London briefly) because I saw Ponder, Thumpa, CLSM, Gavin G, Entity and Sam B on it. This is the first time since 2009 I've been to a "hardcore" night (unless a couple of Fantasias in the DnB room count?) and it was great.
I suppose my point is that there is all this music which is "hardcore" and is great, but then there is also all this (in my opinion) gash that is also "hardcore". Just because I like some bits of hardcore doesn't mean I'm going to enjoy HTID or Hardcore Heaven. And just because I don't like UK Hardcore any more doesn't make me any less entitled to an opinion!
As long as everything is under the umbrella of hardcore then I think this is going to happen, when really it should be water under the bridge. Let Gammer have his fun, by lambasting the "haters" then really he is a "hater" himself. Basically saying that his view of hardcore is the only one worth anything.

I generally agree with everything else you said, but I imagine one of the main reasons they enjoyed USH dying was because that site had devolved into a pool of hateful, spiteful, nonconstructive, damaging primordial soup; nothing like its prime at all.
I could argue that it devolved that way thanks to a very public hate campaign from a certain well established MC. It's by the by now anyway, as it's gone. However, my point still stands - discussion is a GOOD thing, as is criticism. I work in a field where I regularly have to request honest feedback from my peers and management - and they will be honest and harsh. You know why? It's because it's what I need to hear to improve myself, the same applies to anything. Glossing over criticism as 'hate' is naive and egotistical. Glossing over trolling as hate is just stupid, lol.
Robert: Good to meet you at HU. Our conversation was confusing, but it was VERY loud in there ;)

Glad to hear it.
This is getting confusing, I knew I shouldn't have chosen this forum name as I'm not actually called Robert. I shall have a think on this.

Robert Knolles was an infamous English knight during the hundred years war and I've been reading about it a bit so kind of stuck in my head :)
I normally go by 3Form when I play games and stuff on the internet but I thought that'd be a bit cheesy considering what this website's about!
I lack imagination at times to be honest :(

Omg, it just dawned on me why Gammer named a tune "34m". How late am I to the party?

Really i reckon Gammer started being such a prick when he became a dubstep producer and threatened to punch people.
