These days everything sounds the same. When you look back 10 years from now at the "new stuff" in any genre of music you'll see the quality of music has gone down. I haven't heard any "pop - hardcore" tracks produced within the last few years that are comparable to what was being produced through Kniteforce back in the 90's.

Gotta say the new stuff is mainly on the whole far too hard, fast, serious etc. for me. There's no character in newer tracks nowadays, it just seems like a competition on who can go the hardest and the fastest with the most trancey breaks and such. Seems like someone somewhere down the line took the "hardcore" part of happy hardcore far too seriously and eclipsed everything else in the process...then others have followed suit.

If you wanna know exactly what I don't like about modern hardcore it can be summed up in the track by Orbit1 and MC Enemy - Get on Dis. I'm not ragging on the production quality or anything like that because I can't tell myself but I've heard Orbit1 is a talented fella and I believe that 100% but when it comes down to it the style is definitley not my kinda thing; quite the opposite.

I think Hardcore is far weaker now, not harder! Sounds really watered down.

I have a friend who says that and I know what he means, bass wise it is actually all bark and no bite nowadays but I compare it to throwing a bouncy rubber ball; older hardcore is like throwing it on concrete (IE it bounces back up) new hardcore it's like throwing it into sand. It goes down and that's it, never back up again.

really hard for me to describe but that's what the kick seems to be like now and it feels like I'm being punched in the head as opposed to...having a ball thrown at it or something :S

whaa? too hard? umm no...too serious, ok I can buy that.

I think part of it comes from not enough decent pop tunes these days to do covers of =P
