Sure its cheesy, repetitive and may lack musical skill in its creation but you can say the same about the huge amounts of blinged-up self opinionated rap. One openly glamorises gangland values .

And the other bangs on about Ecstasy in every other lyric.

How many ecstasy related deaths have there been in the last decade vs gangland?

The point is that everyone knows that 90%+ of the people at a happy hardcore event are off their faces. You wouldn't think there would be any need to point that out every other record.

Isn't the cause of gangland violence very often because drugs?

Yes, also best reason for legalisation and regulation. Its not like anything else has worked.

True, I guess their target audience don't care but if almost all have to be out of their tree to enjoy it isn't the best complement. I guess I am defending the genre rather than music.

How can this be a tune when it hasn't got one?

Bear in mind that around 89/90 the drugs were so good we would have danced around a car alarm.

I remember leaving the 1991 New Year's Eve Fantazia all nighter at 8 in the morning and there was a group dancing around the generator.

Proper stuff from back in the day, not this car alarm tripe.

@ Plotters, and I did the '92 fantazia NYE along with a load of others from the early 90s till about 95. Had all the flyers then mum threw them away when I moved out. Stuff from Fantazia, Morcombe empire, amnesia, helter skelter, dreamscape, dreamstate etc etc etc

Ahh the good old days....meeting up at service stations waiting for the call...then off we went.

Woot..!

It's like an LP of nursery rhymes played at 78rpm. Invariably blaring out of a barryed-up stbox packed with rat-faced little scrotes.

Scooter ?????? WTF with the squeaky voice overs ????

and for that matter Cascada is total st too.

I've been into the house scene since 1994, and I love some decent trancey house, but happy hardcore is the opposite of good music.

this isn't opinion THIS IS FACT

Eloquently and accurately put.
