I've never really been a fan of the name "UK Hardcore", it's not just a UK thing is it? Even back when the name was first really adopted ('00+) there have been artists from all over making it...
Well if 9 out 10 are UK residents, then I would still call it UK Hardcore. I'm sure Britpop exists outside the UK, but it's still called Britpop :P

uk hardcore is used because slipmat, vibes, sy etc don't like the name happy hardcore, while to the rest of the world its called happy hardcore because hardcore is hardcore
seeing most of them have retired for the 20th time and only do fusion events, they can all **** off, and everyone in the uk can use happy hardcore on flyers
find some interviews with them all and they will say its uk hardcore because happy hardcore is cheesie and belong in the 90s

Been lurking in this thread for a while... figured I'd say something before it got too old.
But for real, whatever happened to calling it upfront hardcore? Afaik it was essentially the old name for uk hardcore. It wasn't exactly happy and it definitely wasn't gabber but it wasn't exactly trancecore either. It was just a comfortable inbetween like uk hardcore.
