Happy hardcore was actually one of the first genres I remember being obsessed with. I was about 12-13. My older sister had walls covered in flyers for Dreamscape and Helter Skelter raves (don't think she ever went to any) and a Moving Shadow bomber jacket and lyrics from happy hardcore songs written on the walls in red marker pen lolll

I had a United Dance tape pack that I played endlessly. And curtains.

Dunno what happened exactly but I got into gangsta rap instead and threw my happy hardcore tapes in the proverbial bin.

I'm not opposed to the genre in principle but I must admit I find it hard to listen to now. Could be a "class" thing I suppose. Does make me wrinkle my nose with disgust at the spectre of the working man downing his tools and rising to take my property.

we must be the same age, happy hardcore was also the first genre i got into. not that strange though cos it's not such a big step from watching cartoons, with it's high speed pace and silly noises and repetitive melodies.

this stuff is actual pop music (not artpop or all that pretentious wank) in its most avant-garde out there form. its extreme in its own way, the tacky organ riffs, the foghorns, the arpeggiated synths. it's pure Kate Bush, undiluted pop music, relentless surrender to the pleasure principle. what's not to like? Carly Rae Jepsen et al only professionalised it and sucked all vitality out of it, and made it artpop.

Yeah, I like this stuff. But I don’t have nearly as much FUN listening to it as I do the most cracked out, schizophrenic hardstepping darkside ragga amen tearout

apparently Bukem played this for the deutschies

so you have made dred your element? then a word change is in order. not fun but exhiliration.

 

[thirdform]

because unlike @craner you must not, and cannot give up on the music when it becomes undesirable. you must continue to pursue the exhiliration ever more militantly, ever more steadfastly.

Fun is very subjective @thirdform an incredibly elastic term, unlike a term you might use to say, designate a specific genre of music

 

[dilbert1]

You’re confusing music that thematizes fun, and having a good time (fun) because you enjoy the music. I don’t dislike neurofunk because it isn’t made of confetti, the beats are dead. Those DOA guys follow your loyalist logic and have devolved their tastes tremendously

First time hearing this one its lovely

I’m a dred bass hater, too. Maybe one or two tunes used it tastefully.

let the bad times roll.

no, @other_life gets it, even though she shares a similar outlook to you, and even to me.

I actually prefer classic jungle to neuro by a longshot, no brainer, I'm not really a champion for neuro, it tends to become too one note for me after a certain point.

WhatI find absurd is to pretend that neuro isn't a logical continuation from 93.

 

[thirdform]

for many ravers 93 darkside was no fun, it exuded paranoia and twitchy dread.

that's why they went to house'n'garage, or happy in the case of the direct rave continuum.

What I'm saying is you need to value the anti-fun impulse as something worth reclaiming.

But where did I say anything like that? What does that assertion have to do with the opinions I’ve expressed?

When the music was good, that was down to their own poor taste. When the music started to suck ass, they had every right.
