I found out about it around 06/07 aged 11 because it was what everyone was listening to back then.
We used to send to songs to each other via bluetooth
"Listen to your heart" and "Hold me Tonight" were the main ones I remember
By 08 nobody I knew listened to it anymore
When do you remember happy hardcore being at it's peak??

I think 95 to early 99 (before it went trancy with Bonkers 7) was the golden age, it's what I mainly listen to even now.

the general answer will be 94-97 or 2000-2004, the past 5 years has been pure trash
early 2000 is more the NRG clubland cd hardcore, the past 5 years is EDM type trash, or its trap or they don`t actually know what they are actually making

Pretty much nailed it and pretty much agree, tho, it has to be said I am warming to some of the newer stuff especially from Alex Prospect and Olly P.

To me, there are 2 golden eras!
1996-1999 (Pretty much all the anthems we love and know are from this period, plus tracks were bursting with imagination)
2004-2010 (With the launch of Bonkers 12, and the launch of the hit titles such as Hardcore Heaven, Hardcore Nation, & Hardcore Adrenaline, this time era showcased a great portrait of styles and our own 'new age' anthems).
2015---Could we be entering a new era with the launch of HU 7?

Bonus points for working out that dreams, never mind resurrection, needs belief 
Irrespective of era, the last two years have seen music, cd, and album releases that can shame even glory days.

Really? No, now you're just being high on yourself. And where's my RFUCD #2? :P
For purely Happy Hardcore, I'd have to say 1997-2000

Will this moment in time go down as one of the highlights of the scene? I'm going to stick my neck out & say it will.
The past couple of years have been inspiring! In & around 2010 I have to admit, things got very flat & a little too bland for me but there's real creativity & diversity surrounding the scene at the minute.
This has to go down as a real stand out time in the scene. Not quite 94-97 but definitely up there, & I think I can say this with confidence as I've been enjoying hardcore since the glory days. I'm adding it to the list. Try & stop me!
- 94-97
- 2000-2004
- 2012-2016+

You haven't seen raves rammed like 96/97 and 2002/3, Helter Skelter had 9000 people every 3 months in the 90s and Slammin at the Sanctuary in 02/03 had pretty much the same. Nowadays only Westfest gets that.
It doesn't matter what the music is like these days, big rave attendance is shocking.

westfest is the only big hardcore ish event, motion in bristol can still do 3->4000 with all 5 rooms rocking hardcore alone
most events ar`nt advertised nowhere
space of 2 years there were 6 or 7 events at motion

Hardcore evolved slowly last decade. We didn't really see any quantum leaps like we did with happy hardcore or the new style.
I'm labelling the whole decade as my golden era.

My personal opinion is the era where HU3-4, CXH4-5 and such were released. I will forever remember so many of those tune, especially Let Me In (Darwin Remix). I guess 2006-2009ish.

I think 2004 to 2011 was the best era for hardcore. i like the hardcore of today but i think it sounds too much like big room electro house, which is ok but we need more originality in the scene

the amount of people listening to Hardcore should never be measured in how many goes to a rave. especially not now that you have the internet and basicly everyone can listen (not only english chavs or drunkards :P)
