Listened to Kutski's show the other night and noticed he called Darren Styles set HI NRG HARDCORE and heard someone else call it this too recently.
I rememeber years back fast Eurodance music used to be called HI NRG back in the day.
So was wondering is this the new name for UK Hardcore since so much of it is produced from artists outside of the UK these days?
When I heard Kuski say it I thought it is a pretty suitable name. The music is probably the most energetic and fast genre out there and because it is not always Happy but always energetic, it sounded like a good description for what we listen to.

The name may change from time to time, but at the end it only cares how this music gets remembered by the ones who listen to it: us ravers. Happy Hardcore will always be Happy Hardcore to me!
What I do notice is a continously destruptive development that producers have started to separate their individual styles from anything else simply by giving them stupid nonsense names. To my opinion it just prooves how much these wannabe-celebrities have lost the contact to the bottom of the raver scene, although the amount of their selling is ridicously low compared to any other genre.
Hardcore ist looking for the next Paris Hilton!

You sure he didn't just say 'high energy Hardcore'? Which, of course is exactly the same thing but doesn't make anybody sound as much of a twat.
As a description it's great, as a 'name'.....No thanks.

Hi-NRG use to used to describe the 80s Italo Disco sound before it morphed into Eurobeat to please the Japanese audience.

it's funny how back in the 80s, disco music was termed as 'hi nrg' for that generation. and then later on, Hi-NrG was given to early Hard House music that stemmed off a lot of 'Nick Skitz'-type tunes. Hi NRG then became the pre-cursor to what is now known as Scouse House or "Donk' music. So there you have it folks. A brief history of the a recycled and re-used term "Hi NRG' music.
