Styles and gammer will never be respected outside the scene while they are trying to copy everything else, best off just being hardcore and being known for that I'd say.

Meh, I rarely, if ever hear a trap based hardcore track anymore. I think it was just a tiny experimental phase some producers went through.

In Gammer's words:
"We don't seem to get that much hate... what we don't really get is acceptance - and I can understand why. When people hear the music and its 170 BPM, four to the floor, and its really flipping fast and crazy... people listen and just say, "I'm not really sure about that."
"And that's what Happy Hardcore is all about! It's like the most outright rebellious genre standing in rave because its neither trendy nor socially acceptable. That's the honest beauty in it that I wouldn't change for the world."

It could have easily been resolved.
Happy Hardcore for the 90's sound
UK Hardcore for mid-2000's Squad-E sounding stuff
Hardcore Rave for the recent evolution of hardcore.
However, I believe YouTube music promoters, nanobii and Vau Boy are factors here. They've all labeled the music as happy hardcore and since it's a pretty easy way to describe the music, it's a term that's going to stick around and it does work as a great umbrella term.
Sure, elitists within the genre will title a hardcore track under whatever specific sub-genre they want but to everyone outside of the genre it will be happy hardcore.
Since that is literally what the genre is, happy and hardcore.
It's the same way someone might not know the difference between Euphoric Hardstyle and Rawstyle.
Or the same way someone might not know the difference between Progressive House and Trance.
The list goes on, etc.
