So many reasons. The piano, the vocals, the riffs, the beats (preferably breakbeat with plenty of rolls etc), the way it makes me feel, the energy blah blah blah....................
It's some of the most interesting music to listen too, especially Oldschool (early 90's) and Early Happy Hardcore, as there was so much going off in a track.

Hardcore, for me, generates a feeling no other genre can adequately accomplish. This feeling is energy. Hardcore, when containing the right mixture of kick, bass and melody can produce a fantastic feeling of energy, and spur on an adrenaline rush, when when listened to through headphones. Hardcore is also something I can enjoy by myself. Very few other people enjoy Hardcore as I do.. In fact, very few people even know of hardcore... For me, its an escape. My own world I can escape to avoid the stresses and punishing reality of real life. I can mute out the real world with the hard distortion of a gabber kick, or chill out quietly with the acid loops of freeform. It's something no one else can invade, because no one else likes exactly the same style, artists of tracks as me. I enjoy being unnique in that manner. Meanwhile, my friends can be clones, and listen to bands such as the Wombats all day. A clone is not who I am. I like to enjoy the 'unique sense of freedom' as Kevin Energy put it.
There are many other aspects of Hardcore I love aswell. I am learning at producing hardcore, and that's a hobby I can never put off to do college-work... Hearing your own stuff in someone elses mix generates a feeling of importance, and a feeling that you are finally part of history. That in turn drives an ego to do more and become more well-known. Another reason why I love hardcore is because of the general community. I'd like to think I'm a known member of the www.happyhardcore.com community. This is the place I post my music, my thoughts and so on. Its the place where I can interact with what I could call 'friends' and fellow producers. Being here also throws you into the heart of the scene, allowing you to make contact with your favourite artists of DJ's.
Not only is there an online community, but you are part of a live community. You become part of a unity of people standing on a dancefoor stamping your feet to every beat. Your not only people on a dancefloor listening and enjoying music, but all of a sudden you become brothers and sisters, in a sense. This isnt something I've ever found with other genre's...
Hardcore isn't just a music I love, but its a music I can always count on to cheer me up, or to escape to when I'm having a bad day. So many styles, so many moods, yet we often get so little time to take it all in.

For the Polish:
Mógłbym przeformułować to za poetycki w innym terminie. Przecież nie jestem geniusz liryczny, a ja na pewno nie słowo-Smith, ale jest to najlepszy sposób mogę opisać moje Hardcore.
Hardcore dla mnie generuje uczucie żaden inny gatunek w stanie właściwie wykonać. To uczucie jest energią. Hardcore, jeśli zawierają prawo mieszaniny kick, bas i melodia może produkować fantastyczne uczucie energii i pobudzi na adrenaliny, gdy podczas słuchane przez słuchawki. Hardcore to również coś, co lubię w sobie. Bardzo niewiele osób korzysta z innych Hardcore jak ja .. W rzeczywistości bardzo niewiele osób wie o hardcore ... Dla mnie, jego ucieczki. Mój własny świat mogę uciec, aby uniknąć napięć i karanie rzeczywistości prawdziwego życia. Można wyciszyć się w prawdziwym świecie z twardą zakłócenia gabber kick lub chill out spokojnie z kwasu pętli dowolny. To coś, co nikt inny nie może najechać, bo nikt nie lubi dokładnie w tym samym stylu, twórców utworów jak ja. I cieszyć się unnique w ten sposób. Tymczasem, moi przyjaciele mogą być klony, i słuchać takich zespołów jak The Wombats cały dzień. Klon nie jest tym, kim jestem. Chcę cieszyć się "wyjątkową poczucie wolności" Kevin Energy ujął.
Istnieje wiele innych aspektów Hardcore I love as well. Uczę się w produkcji hardcore, a to hobby, nigdy nie mogę odłożyć do pracy na uczelni ... Przesłuchanie własne rzeczy w kogoś elses mix generuje poczucie znaczenia, a także poczucie, że jesteś w końcu częścią historii. To napędza ego zrobić więcej i bardziej znanych. Innym powodem, I love hardcore to z powodu ogólnej społeczności. I'd like to think I'm znanym członkiem społeczności www.happyhardcore.com. To jest miejsce, mogę wysłać Moja muzyka, Moje myśli i tak dalej. Jego miejsce, gdzie mogę współpracować z co mogę nazywać "przyjaciółmi" i kolegów producentów. Będąc tutaj także rzuca się w głąb sceny, co pozwala nawiązać kontakt z Twoich ulubionych artystów DJ's.
Istnieje nie tylko społeczności internetowej, ale są częścią żywego. Możesz stać się częścią jedności ludzi stojących na dancefoor tłoczenia stóp do każdego uderzenia. Twoje nie tylko ludzie na parkiecie słuchania muzyki i korzystania, ale nagle stajesz się bracia i siostry, w pewnym sensie. To nie jest coś, jakie kiedykolwiek znaleziono z innymi gatunku jest ...
Hardcore to nie tylko muzyka lubię, ale jego muzyka zawsze mogę liczyć na to cheer me up, lub do ucieczki, kiedy Mam zły dzień. Tak wiele stylów, tyle nastrojów, mimo to często tak bardzo mało czasu na podjęcie it all in
Thanks for Reading,
Jestem Reverend Olly, a you've been listening to nieszporów.

That's what I miss, all the abstract "noises" going off within the track!

When I listen to hardcore and a track is just perfect (not often) I just get this feeling that rushes over me and I get mad goosebumps and feel like I'm the highest person in the world (indescribable feeling), thats why I listen.

The best thing about hardcore is (or used to be at least) how it doesn't take itself too seriously.
It's fun to dance to, uplifting and doesn't try too hard to be cool.
The same applies when going to a rave - you can go there and dance how you feel like, just because it feels good. You don't have to worry about looking cool (sneakers and baggy pants will do!) and you don't have to try and impress anyone.
We spend our entire lives fitting into a mold of what society expects us to be. I think Sharkey put it perfectly - "Wise up, Get stupid!"
