No argument there!

Not sure I follow; there was 100% an effort to rebrand away from the name "happy hardcore" in the early 2000s. As you said, the music evolved into something different, therefore needed a new name to distinguish it from the earlier 90s sound?

In fact, across Europe when they hear UK Hardcore they call it Happy Hardcore. UK Hardcore is it's own thing. It's constantly drawing lines in the sand to segregate genres, that actually damages the scene. Have a giant rave, give each room a different genre, but watch people really enjoy themselves because they have a choice.
Not suprising; in the early 00s I think the UK scene was pretty much irrelevant in Europe? Aside from a bit of crossover with makina... I can't imagine the "UK hardcore" name caught on.

I didnt think the UK Hardcore name caught on until 2004 or later. I think it was called Upfront Hardcore until that point
