HARDCORE (DANCE)
Imagine the sound of a biscuit tin clattering down a long flight of stairs. Hardcore came out of the early-1990s DRUM'N'BASS scene, keeping the rapid-fire drumbeats (usually over 160bpm) but swapping the dub-reggae bass lines for big, dumb keyboard lines and the odd air-raid siren. One mid-1990s derivative of hardcore was 'happy hardcore', which mixed furious beats with cheery piano chords, children's TV theme tunes, and none-too-subtle drug references (as on Sesame's Treet by the Smart E's - 'E' being slang for the drug ecstasy).
HARD HOUSE
Mindlessly repetitive dance music that uses a four-to-the-floor HOUSE rhythm but lacks any of the melody, funk or lyrical content found in ordinary house music. As a result, hard house hasn't made much of an impact on the British top 40 - though this may also be because its devotees tend to spend their spare cash on recreational drugs to help them endure the music's monotony. Nevertheless, hard house remains popular among club DJs such as Radio 1's Judge Jules.

HAHAHAHAHA... Sooooo true! I got the Extreme Euphoria for xmas because i didn't really look at it... just saw BK, remembered Revolution, and asked my uncle if Lisa Lashes was any good... Big mistake! I thought it might be something like the old Ibiza Euphoria's mixed by Dave pearce (Bangin!) But no, just a load of repetative bass pounds and a few decent melodies... eg:
Stimulator - Take Off
Billy Bunter & DJ Roosta - Want My Lovin'
But apart from these few great tracks, the CD was a waste of money and could have gone towards my Hardcore Heven purchases!
As for the Hardcore... They are stuck in the early 90's... NOOO, somebody get them out! Why are they talking about Happy Hardcore... Thats just about dead. They should be talking about the likes of Scott Brown's amazing anthems that sease to stop being created! (Good on ya Scotty!) But instead they refer to biscuit tins rolling down stairs and Sesame Street... Strange!

thats a great idea, why spend all your hard earned cash on a hardcore cd, when you can just lob a biscuit tin down a flight of stairs

It's not really fair to say that all posh people have this opinion, A lot of my friends call me posh but despite this I'm proud to say I'm rather happy with idea of listening to rattling biscuit tins myself. I'd say that most posh people you meet are actually more open minded to different music styles like hardcore, and will not stick to idolising gangsta rappers and r'n' b slappers, like the common peasant scally types do.
By the way, I think I actually saw that article or one of a similar nature when it was first published (my parents read The Times on sundays!) and it was rather amusing. I'm desperately trying to remember hilarious comments made about other styles, but I'm trying to concentrate on revising for a test, and I'm sure that posting here isn't going to help!

I thought you had to pay to read the articles of the times online, or is that the guardian?
I've cheated by copying and pasting, but here's my favourite humourous comments
EBM
Electronic pop that is so basic, it makes the Human League sound like Mahler. The band riding a wave of hype last year was Fischerspooner (pictured top), a high-camp, cross-dressing act from New York, who won a million-plus record deal from the Ministry of Sound, but lost it after their album, #1, sold disastrously. Like Fischerspooner, acts such as Ladytron, Chicks on Speed, Miss Kittin and the very rude Peaches (whose ditties have titles like F--- the Pain Away), have strong feminine qualities. Electroclash is also called electropunk or synthcore
(You do not expect to see homophobic comments about bands not selling simply because they appear to be gay, in a publication that is supposedly written by intelligent people)
DEEP HOUSE
HOUSE music but with a mellower feel, often featuring profound, rolling bass lines and samples from jazz records. Mentioning artists such as Roy Davis Jnr, Derrick Carter, Basic Channel and Tiefschwarz will either impress your kids or get you blank looks.
(It's funny, when your Mum and Dad try to be young once again, and fail miserably isn't it? What is it with them playing my younger sister's Avril and Dido cds in the car?)
GANGSTA RAP
The 'baaaad' branch of HIP HOP. Yes, people are still making up naughty rhymes about violence and loose women.
(I actually agree with that comment, even though it's probably a rather hypocritical one!, I have strong views on hip hop, although I have to be careful what I say.)
GARAGE
Men rap lasciviously about 'bitches' and 'hoes' (whores) over a fast, shuffly electronic beat (around 150bpm). This came out of Detroit's dodgy strip joints, where rude DJs played music faster and faster to make girls 'booty-dance', and went on about G-strings and girls 'gettin' nekkid'. It is sometimes called 'booty bass' or 'booty music'. One ghetto-tech artist, DJ Assault, is notorious for greeting audiences with: 'All the laydeez in the house - I wanna see your titties!' He was met with blank looks from the laydeez when he tried this in London.
(Someone wanted to hear UK Garage recieving some abuse, well there it is!)
HIP HOP
Often used to describe rap music, or, as purists argue, the culture surrounding it. Rap is now the bestselling music genre in the world, having surpassed country and western. If you listen for long enough, you may even get to hear a tune. (HaHa!!!)
(I will keep my mouth shut about rap music)
PUNK POP
Pop with a guitar-driven punk energy, and often a sense of humour. The band Offspring, for example, play an unforgettable rendition of the slushy ballad Feelings ('Feelings like I wanna kill you, feelings like I wanna deck you, feelings like I've gotta get you out of my life'). Lately, the band Blink-182 have turned public nudity and fart jokes into an art form and sold several million records.
(pathetic but funny in a way!)
SCHRANCE
Try to say it without spitting. This is sped-up white noise (basically a loud hissing) over farty TECHNO beats. Schrance is big with clubbers in northern Europe. But then so are bierkellers.
(I've never hear anyone use the word Schrance before, are they referring to Gabba)
TETRIS POP
Music created purely to fit a niche in the market. A prime example is the Canadian teen star Avril Lavigne, whose records are pitched at the sort of teenagers who would have liked Britney Spears to be a bit angstier.
(Family friendly, rebellious enough for younger teenagers (but not the older ones) yet not using bad language, so still appealing to parents)
TRANCE
This mystifyingly popular, thumping dance music uses repetitive, staccato synthesiser riffs and diva-style pop vocals over a four-to-the-floor beat - usually faster than HOUSE but slower than DRUM'N'BASS. At intervals there is a breakdown, when the drums disappear while the melodic elements carry on, but eventually the drums kick in again and clubbers can continue with their dancing. A lot of it sounds like very bad Eurovision, so it's not entirely a surprise to discover it came from Germany
(One for the dj sammy haters (me)
TURNTABLISM
A high-flown term for the creative manipulation of vinyl on record decks. Yes, people still deliberately scratch and mess around with records. (like me)

they didn't mention about all of the rap artists trying to kill each other...
thats the argument i use against my rap loving mates about hardcore... You're guys try to kill each other, and the DJ's i listen to jump about on stage together and re-mix each others tracks...
