I've been into hardcore since 1996 and something i always wonder and i'm gonna share it with you. Now i know there was a hardcore tardis thread recntly but that isn'texactly what i want to talk about.
If you think back to whatever year you started listening to the music and obviously this is going to be different for some folk but the principle still the same. Imagine if you could go back and show yourself what hardcore is like now many years on and wonder what you would have made of it.
I personally think i'd be quite amazed by it in terms of production quality but dissapointed at the lack of soul the music has these days...........
what do you guys think?
And by the way just replying that it is S***e is not an answer worth putting...........

I would of loved to have been born in say 1970-1972. I would have a wider knowledge of the rave scene from the late 80's and so on.
Back then you didn't have your Internets the way it is now. It was special it was something Evolving big time.

Madness! My collection of trance, house, and techno ranging from 84 to 95 says very differently.

yeah its great being born then! when I was 12/13 we had the breakdance thing which started off electric music for me! and when the acid house came along I was a teenager listening and raving to something that was new, fresh, different and original, and also hated by the masses, even early hardcore (rave) was imense, all types of early dance music that was in a collective! and everyone was waiting for the next track, didn't know what was coming in the mix! and the DJ's just played what they had or what they liked! (all of them now are here for the money!)

Haha, yea I cant really say Im a fan of any old school tunes. I started listening to the music when I was about 11 or 12, and Bonkers 10 was being released, so those the ch00ns I started out with.
Thats basically considered MY old school lol.

most everyone is probably going to have fond memories of when they first heard edm and say it was better than what it is now. it was new & different, a completely different world from what they had listened to in the years before.
production value now is, for the most part, better...but it also takes a lot away from the music's rawness. most tunes produced today you can do a blind listening to and mix all of them very easily, where as tunes of the past the production level wasn't as great so you actually had to work/practice to get mixes to flow.

I pretty much echo what people have said about production etc...
I love my old stuff just as much as I love my new stuff, getting a perfect mix is tough but it can be done ref Darwin for eg.

LOL I'd say it was the opposite. Hardcore started good then went downhill in the late 90's!

I couldnt have said it better myself, up and down the country to go to dreamscape and to rez, I would have defanatly been in the bouncy techno scene more than the happy hardcore scene but i still would have been listening to it,
I can just imagine being in rez when 24/7 getting played and blowing the place up, or even now is the time....**** it all of them!!

I think I would have liked Happy Hardcore first then got into Bouncy Techno later as I live further away from Scotland (south coast) but without the internet I don't know how I would have got into it! I would love to go to a Rez and hearing those tracks with everyone else loving it!
I would love to go to a Thunderdome in the Netherlands as well for the Gabber stuff (up until 1998 when it went Nu Style) and do the dance thing with all the other Gabbers in there!
