double meaning
i sat next to a skater kid and he said ‘what are you listening to?’
so i replied ‘hardcore’
‘oh really? what song’
‘im not sure, its a happy hardcore mix’
he look momentarily confused by ‘mix’ ‘oh, what bands play happy hardcore’
then i realized there are 2 hardcores, and both are complete opposites…
discuss
LOL, not sure what I can really discuss about it though because I listened to hardcore before even getting involved with hardcore. Now that I’m older though I much prefer hardcore over hardcore, but neither really get me going much any more.
There are two hardcore’s.
One has guitars, the other has DJ’s.
Although I would say they aren’t necessarily opposites as Darkcore/ deathchant hardcore is definitely a kindred spirit of hardcore with guitars.
Sum total of this discussion as far as I can see.
I Like Hardcore…gabber that is
i have been in the same situation 
when i said dj spit he said why would you be called dj spit if you played hardcore then i realised
Me too!!! (i know i posted this the other day but just for reference)
Also for reference. Hold on to your butts!!!
stuff like this ALWAYS makes me laugh. not headbang, not dance - just fucking laugh like a madman. I have no idea why. once I even made a track like this with my collab partner ~4 years ago, it took us less than 5 minutes and still sends us ROFLing when we dig it up every now and then… the magic of gabba, apparently?
I know its not completely on topic, but just so I can gain more insight to the universe, what is the difference between hardcore and hardstyle?
Hardstyle, correct me if I’m wrong, always had more hard trance-y/ hardhouse type things going on. the beat was slightly different to hardcore which backs to its basics was like oldskool house but speeded up which gave rise to early drum and bass.
The word/ badge Hardcore got adopted, slightly like techno did, to mean a few things so it’s hard to pin point when people talk about hardcore.
What hardcore is music? Youporn tells something different!
dammit, you beat me to it!!
first time i came across hardcore (dance), i thought the guy was on about guitars and stuff. then put a ‘Bonkers’ cd on…
Both of them annoy me incredibly! Generally, people that go to hardcore raves over here are just massive pill headed pikeys!
you must live somewhere in uk, maybe norfolk/suffolk area?
I live in Bournemouth, which hosts Hardcore Heaven at the Opera House (Now the 02 arena Bournemouth) every so often.
Old Skool Hardcore… now that’s the shizzle.
Before they went crazy on the tempo rinse out 
Is there an old skool version of the ‘other’ hardcore?
erm… close enough… lol
Yeah, i like old skool hardcore. The stuff nowadays just sounds terrible… Don’t get me started on gabba!!
