ty sir!
I grew up listening to hardstyle around the 2006 era, its awesome to see how far its come and how many people still love it!
old school will never die
@@slendyshow HTID baby 😎 i've still never seen a hard dance show live yet though :( my dream is to attend at least one q-dance event in my life lol
Myself started back in 2001. We've come a long way since then.
@@Pyroific That sucks, Q Dance events ROCKED in Melbourne but then due to a Q-dance event that had 29 blowouts (G overdoese) 29 ambulances taken out of there CBD duties from 10pm-6am They said never again in Melbourne and I dont blame them. Melbournes G usage in the 2005-2010 area was discusting.
@andyturbo ahh yeah, I remember those days. Media slammed QDance, defon1, and others. Wasn't a Melbourne thing, Sydney also shared bad ODs
Huge thankyou to my skitz editor Barnabas for this vid! Share this with your newbie rave mates & smash that like button if you want more content!
Ly x
@magyarfajalegjobb373 hey x
Thank you man amazing explanation
As a very oldskool head, and speedcore producer since the 90's I am impressed how detailed (and basically everything correct) it was in just under 5 minutes. Good job.
Thanks so much!
thank you for the video, well explained and thank you gpf for not creating new kicks, more like creating a new mental disorder i really cant get enough of x
RIP ur ears x
If I ever have hearing problems, I blame GPF and UOK
@@1REDGOBLIN Same here, can't get enough though. Hearing is the most fun sense to lose xD
Solid overview. Been listening to hardstyle since 2006. Prefer the older tracks but the newer ones can be such massive bangers. Hardstyle however, 2006-2011 was the golden days
bring back golden era hardstyle!
1997 was golden age
Zyzz 😭
early hardcore, terror, uptempo.
all i need
All anyone needs tbh
When music is categorized into specific genres, it can limit its potential for growth and evolution. This is particularly true for genres like hardcore that have been subdivided into smaller sub-genres such as hardstyle, raw, frenchcore, and uptempo. While these sub-genres may help fans to differentiate between different styles of music and identify their preferences, they can also create boundaries that can be difficult to cross. Musicians who want to experiment with different sounds and techniques may find it challenging to do so without breaking the established rules of their chosen genre. As a result, the music may become stale and predictable, and fans may become less interested in it over time. Therefore, while genre classification can be useful, it is essential to remain open to new ideas and approaches to ensure that music continues to evolve and grow.
I mean these days all of these genres (except Frenchcore) overlap so much you can't really tell the difference.
Like Devin Wild, he simply creates good music without being limited by genres
Truer words have never been spoken my friend. Also thank god for mad dog.
Edit: I don't mean only mad dog. I am also thankful for djs like ophidian who have their own style or djs like peacock or sefa that changed the game.
@@valtern1200 I agree 100%. When I found Mad Dog's DOWNTEMPO album I was shocked, went to his set at Supersized and it blew me away. I had more fun at that stage than the raw stage lol
@@KiemPlant oh yeah man. I gave that set all I had. Everything hurt afterwards, but it was worth it. I'm gonna see him again at harmony of hardcore. I already knew back in December he would do the anthem show, I'm so excited!
Also I might go to intents just for his Millenium set
Great to see Diabarha represented absolute king of speedcore/splittercore/extratone. Uranoid is iconic and to me dreamlike
big fast m8
Agree! Diabarha has a lot of great songs, Speedcore Representative for the more melodic side i would say Antarctica, for that Splittercore then i could say Crazy Beauties, for Extratone, i could say somewhere between Derranged Souls or Keep in Secret.
Ah I trmember when I first heard uranoid
@@Majorowsky1337 I absolutely LOVE Crazy Beauties, and if I really want to hurt myself I might even find some joy in Uranoid
@@nymroadonlaptop3185 Mental Cage/Deranged souls is the best way to go harder and faster. I still can't get used to Uranoid, which got popular because of memes and GH community.
bruh these song examples are so damn amazing wth
Only the finest on the Slendy show m8
Annyira mókás, hogy a magyaros angol akcentust mindenhol fel lehet ismerni, még mielőtt az illető elmondaná, hogy szerény kis hazánkból származik. Fasza lett a videó, sokat tudtam belőle tanulni, úgy látszik engem a Frenchcore fogott meg leginkább. Ment a Like!
I can tell you this is true for most non-native accents.
I can spot a Dutch guy speaking English for 2 miles away...
I guess we all just carry a bit of our mother tongue into the English we speak
The difference between these styles is mostly in the sound. Not so much the BPM's. Offcourse there's a big difference in BPM's between Extratone or Splittercore and Hardcore. But many genres have overlapping BPM speeds. Some Rawstyle can be as hard and fast as Uptempo Hardcore, whilst some Terror can have lower BPM's than regular Hardcore. The DJ/founder of Rotterdam Terror Corps (George Ruseler) always said Terror is about the sound and that some 160 BPM terrortracks can be harder and darker than 240-300 BPM tracks. Also Hardstyle and Hardcore have overlapping BPM's. The early Hardcore wasn't always about a high BPM count, it was often slower than Hardstyle is today. For instance "The Hustle" from Mad-E-Fact...Let a young guy listen to that song today and they would say it's Hardstyle based on its slower rythm and lower BPM count. But that song is actually Hardcore !!! For anyone wondering...I'm a 45 yr old Dutch gabber that's been listening to Hardcore since '93 and been going to Hardcore events since '97. Thunderdome '97 : The Global Hardcore Nation in Sportpaleis Antwerpen was my 1st event. So, I have 30 yrs of experience backing up my opinion. In general Hardstyle is more euphoric than Hardcore, but it doesn't mean Hardcore can't be euphoric. DJ's like Angerfist have a darker sound than what you hear in Hardstyle...so Angerfist is definately Hardcore. But what about Korsakoff ??? She has a lot of euphoric passages in her sets, but if you hear the sets you can definatlely say it's Hardcore too !!! It just hits a little bit different and harder than Hardstyle. I mean, Angerfist is called the "King of Hardcore" and Korsakoff is the "Queen of Hardcore". Two completely different sounds and styles...Angerfist has a pretty dark sound, whilst Korsakoff's tracks and sets are melodic/euphoric and uplifting. But it's both undeniably Hardcore.
Respect for all that knowledge 👊
Really nice description mate thanks for commenting :)
and on the other side you have Ophidian that has wayy different taste of his own style. When you hear just a few notes of the track, you clearly can recognize that this track is from Ophidian, and Ophidian is also hardcore. He has dark tracks like the void, running on empty, so many sacrifices, or great forgotten moments and also brighter ones like the butterfly, love is digital.
And i have to admit that for me Ophidian's style is more.... artistic than other hardcore DJ's.
I love all these genres, subgenres and styles from gabber to terrorcore. Speedcore and above is too much for me.
Tldr;might read later, but yeah tempo doesn't make genres anymore nowadays anyways, I always make rawstyle and extra raw at 165 which is higher than what it's usually at, plus weird tempo nobody uses, but I think giving tempo measures is a good starting point for new listeners anyways
Also, I really like using 210 for anything fast, 200 for wtv reason feels sluggish to me, like even 195 feels better than 200, but that's just me I guess
Such a great video and thank you!! Ive been a lover of edm for a long time and over the years my tastes have change. Ive not had the pleasure of being to a festival yet and really am just getting to know specific DJs. I have a huge playlist but i was looking to narrow down the styles i really enjoyed. This helped me find out I am a HUGE lover of Happy Hardcore and Euphoric Hardstyle! Now I can create the best playlist of my favorite specific styles! Cheers!!!!
1:32 I would add, what we call UK hardcore today isn't what UK hardcore was in 90s. UK hardcore in the 90s was breakbeat hardcore, which was referred to simply as "hardcore" by Brits. During the late 90s hardcore split with the lighter happier sounds becoming happy hardcore (breakbeat hardcore) and the more bassy, darker sounds becoming jungle (which went on to evolve into DnB). Current UK hardcore (from 2003 onwards) is a mixture of early UK happy hardcore with hard trance, makina and Dutch happy hardcore
Really breakbeat hardcore was regarded as an English or London hardcore style and not pan UK where it wasn't widely popular in Scotland. Ignores hardcore techno made in England on the like of Jelly Jam, Edge & Semtex. Also early Scottish hardcore, bouncy techno (Shoop / Scott Brown), which has influenced modern UK hardcore (a Scott Brown term for his music. Replaced both Scottish and English hardcores hence UK. Just a fast euphoric trance), mid 90s Dutch happy/funcore (via Elstak's fascination of Shoop and Brown), mid 90s English 4-beat (via Vibes and Hixxy's interest on Brown) and late 90s Spanish makina (again Brown). Also 1:06 makina was not born out of gabber and just a general term for music by "machine" (electronic), covered a variety of different music and was largely a type of hard trance around 95.
2 bad mice :D
absolutely love this video!!!! extremely simple to understand and explains the genres perfectly!
Thanks so much - well done Barnabas the editor!
As someone who's always been somewhat into techno, and is just now REALLY getting into hardcore, hardstyle, and a lot of the other genres you brought up, THANK YOU for this video. Lots of good information while keeping it straight forward and simple!
You’re very welcome mate thanks for watching! 😁
First encountered Hard dance music about 3 years through Japanese producers like Camellia and Kobaryo. Now I am learning to make my own.
Camellia ❤❤
having gotten into hard dance in the last few years as an american in an area with no scene videos like this are fantastically useful to help me figure it all out, and hearing the differences bit by bit is super interesting. Thanks for putting this together bro
Glad you enjoyed it!
As an old german technohead from the 90s near 50 I m not sure how its called today since now but I love it to wake up at 4am every morning
how good!
This person needs psychotherapy help just like us❤❤❤❤
Great video, I listen to the harder styles for over 10 years now and I learned a lot :)
Absolute great video. Sick editing skills (the "...on crack" series are awesome xD).
Thank you Slendy and Barnabas for creating such interesting content and...
Makina FOREVER!!!
Perfect work very clear and covering all the genres. Thanks for this gem
Very educational video indeed, one of a kind. Looking forward to watching more of these
Let us know what other educational vids you would like to see!
Great video. I am a little familiar with these genres so it is always helpful to have a vid like these to learn something new!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Highly appreciated and interesting for music producers! Thank you for this!
Glad to hear it :)
Ez az első videó amit nézek tőled (valószínűleg nem az utolsó😅), amint megszólaltál tudtam, hogy magyar vagy😆 Jó kis videó lett, érthető magyarázat + példák! Csak így tovább💪
I started with jump style when I was 13. 14 years later and Im at Anything after uptempo. It’s not for everyone, but you grow into it :) going to the uptempo raves are so much fun and full of energy!
And no, you do not have to be on drugs to enjoy this music/ raves! I know I don’t. Enjoy your own style of music without judging others :)
great vid man!!
Great video, totally friendly and even learned many new thinks! Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video! These styles are awesome.
You're welcome!
Old man here...
I remember in like '92 when anything over 140 BPM was hardcore or gabber, and hardcore included hard breaks and a lot of the precursors to DnB.
I think the first actual hard subgenre I heard of was Happy Hardcore. Even that got confusing because you had the chipmunk sounding super cheesy stuff coming out of the UK, LA and Canada, then also the Dutch Thunderdome stuff, which was oddly considered "Happy" here in the NYC area.
Super interesting! Cheers for watching mate
its not actually “happy” anymore
Thanks for realising my video idea! 👏😊
Diabarha is love, Diabarha is life! ❤ And Extratone goes brrrrrrrrrrr
u ok ? x
Agree !! 😄🔥
@@slendyshow Yesn't x
Nice to see some defintions! Nice to see they hit the ceiling with 1000bpm now we can bring it back down to where it actually sounds good :D
I been listening to techno and all the harder styles especially basicly since before birth (my mom loves them too), but i have only heard the names of 2/3s of the genres listed here, but know most of the tracks or similar ones. thanks for teaching me :D
Thanks for watching!
Just what I was looking for and only 5 minutes amazing!
Thanks so much for watching!
Very helpful, thank you! Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great vid!!! Thank you
+ your english is perfect!
Thank you for making this clear, I always was confused about this topic 🙏
🙏
Thank you for the information. Being a new person in the hardcore enthusiast group, this really helped me get a gist of everything.
Glad you found it useful!
Great video
There's a slight overlap here in Frenchcore, industrial, early and terror. Early Micropoint and Raium tracks such as Crackpipe, Junkicide and Noise Theatire by Micropoint and Hard Abuse by The Sickest Squad.
Some of these artists no longer make this style but you can still find this early frenchcore. I recommend artist like The Sickest Squad, Psiko, Cemtex, SpeedyQ's, D.O.M., DJ Mutante and albums like Social Teknology
What's your favourite genre brahz?
Gabber or frenchcore it Is close
Old school 90s rave.... yeah I is 52 this year, still a raver!!
UPTEMPO FTW (and tekk)
It's too difficult to decide on a favorite lol. Prolly classic hardstyle and currently I've just been viking to psy trance because fuarkin sick wobbbzz
Euphoric hardstyle.
Nagyon profi összegzés csak így tovább! :D
Such a nice and helpful video❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much it helped me a lot :)
You’re very welcome!
Turns out I'm obsessed with hardcore and everything after that. Extratone needs a certain mood but when I'm in that mood I love it.
always just called it all hardstyle. Today I learned.
Dad first introduced me to hard and techno style music back in the 2006 (was 4 at the time)
Got to listen thunderdome in his good ol peugeot 306 s16 with upgraded sound system
That's good parenting
W dad
@@slendyshow he's definetely proud that i followed his path haha
Great to see Makina mentioned in this video, good documentation job!
Thank you!
also always nice to add some fresh tracks to the playlist so thanks for the music
no worries!
Finally someone mentions industrial 😂 now I'll just be waiting for someone to start about doomcore😅
or Darkcore
@@mauriceschecklstein9092 Next vid ;)
very good video to understand all the different hardstyle genres 🙏 Keep it up
Thanks!
Thanks for the video man, I grew up with this music, grew up with my grandparents and my uncles would go to all the major parties back in the 90's.
I have such fond memories of that time, I miss it a lot.
To this day the only music I listen to is Hardcore and some of it's spin offs.
Industrial Hardcore is my favorite style and of course Ophidian is my hero, the undisputed number one!
This is much more than just music, its sacred to me! HC4L!
That's so awesome man thanks for watching
I found this video incredible, being someone who speaks Spanish and not having extensive knowledge of English, I am very happy to find videos that explain it to me in an easy way and that I can understand.
That’s so awesome to hear mate! Thanks for watching and share it round to others who may need it
Excellent video, thank you very much!
Thank you!
Great explanation video! Thanks a lot!
Tysm for this please keep going
Will do!
thank you for this video
Very welcome mate
Amazing video!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks man!
Very welcome!
Just newd this to go to any rave and answer the typicall question of your new friend in raves, that doesnt know anything about this genre, that get me sick but also give me an smile because there will be another person to enjoy this genre🎉
i like that it's EUPHORIC hardstyle instead of just happy hardstyle
Love Euphoric - bring it back I say!
yo great video!
Thanks brah!
i’ve been watching you since i was in 7th grade and i’m going to be a senior in college soon
Sick video! Just as some people indeed are saying its probably more about the sound than the tempo. For me there are some uptempo hardcore tracks that are at normal hardcore or even rawstyle bpm but they are still uptempo, just because of the kick. Even tho i dont like the current harstyle (im more a fan of 2012 to 2017's harstyle), its cool to see all these hard dance genres, because for me at the end of the day its all Harder styles/hard dance and i love it!
You explained this very good :)
Helpful video, this stuff seems somehow even more hard to get a read on than black metal in HS in the 2000s lol.
I love it all, genuinely haven't been more excited about music in nearly 20 years. Only bad part for me is I had no idea it was a thing back in ~2009. Just glad S3RL is still going strong releasing a banger every 3 weeks somehow lol. Been listening to him non-stop for 4 months and am still finding new songs of his every week.
thanks for watching legend!
As a 92's guy I❤Gabber but in my youth I listened a lot of Happy Hardcore
finally i can just send my non-rave friends this video to explain the basic idea of the harder styles xD
that's the idea!
This is by far the best and most simple explanation about hard dance subgenres o:
Thank you so much mate! If you'd like to share it around that would be amazing :)
thank you for including makina :)
i'm a new fan of hardcore from sydney and this is very helpful thanks :))
No problem!
this is great content, cheers
thx king
Might aswell add this as a cool fact, in the north of England (and above to Scotland) there is a big following of Makina (specifically not UK hardcore) as supposedly a DJ from Newcastle had gone to spain, picked up a couple vinyl copies of some makina and started playing it and people went mental for it, then they got more and more till it was popular enough that a club called the New Monkey was started which was famous for the Makina of the UK aswell as having an MC spit over the beat (creating people like MC Mental, MC Flinchy, MC Genno D,etc) i might have some facts a bit off but its generally around what happened
Very interesting. I feel Hard Trance and Down Tempo Hardcore needed a mention. Overall great video 😁
Thanks mate!
Gotta love the GPF shoutout fr x
hey x
I just love it all ❤
we need to see more videos like these
More coming!
What topics would you like to see out of curiosity?
im really interested in kicks betwwen each genre for example rawstyle has like gated kick and PVC (i thinks thats what their called)@@slendyshow
Casualy listening to EXTRATONE.
very nice
Well explained
Thank you for the video. Your English is perfect
Thank you too!
The first example Barnabas showed of gabber is actually Miss Groovy - Jungle Sickness:)
Glad to see Enfants De La Rave in here! Great video 🙌
Cheers m8!
Ah, didn't even know that you're Hungarian. Good to see some Hungarians enjoying some quality music (quality includes GPF, UOK, Diabarha and every, out of the ordinary producer too)
My love of hardcore will always be UK's Happy Hardcore. It's what I grew up with, very uplifting and a bit crazy all over the place, a mix match of sounds and samples... and friend/family aren't always mad about listening to it. The mix of sounds and samples is why I like Industrial hardcore, it feels to me very much like the very flipside of the UK Happy hardcore scene with samples that are down beat, still a crazy mix though.
My favourite is Frenchcore, the tracks just seem to do it for me most of the time. It's only when I want something a little faster I go for Speedcore.
I do like Terror core, but rather than just being defined by the BPM, again like Industrial Hardcore and Happy Hardcore, it's the samples used, very dark vocals used in the tracks... maybe it's just the music I listen to.
HHC still slaps
Everything changes from time to time.
Thanks a lot, mate! (who would have known, that I was about to find a Hungarian's vid about this?!) 😁
Very welcome!
Jó kis összefoglaló ! Miss K8 / DJ Anime a kedvencek nálam :)
Sick video
Cheers legend!
great video
Thanks!
Neat video^^
tbh i would listen to a majority of these, my first genre of the hardcore world was speedcore, specifically M1DY and Kobaryo. then i hopped over to GPF and UOK, so my hardcore introduction started with GPF and UOK, you could only IMAGINE what i would willingly blast into my ears now. and holy blessing of GPF, the piep kick made Uptempo 300x better, but i will always love any and all Uptempo, with or without piep.
I'm not new to the scene, but I clicked the video, needed to freshing up my memory
hope you enjoyed it!
Goed bezig kerel 👍
Csak hogy legyen itt egy magyar komment is, nagyon jól el magyaráztad, király kis videó volt! 😁
I'm almost 10 years into the scene and producing harder styles myself for 5 years. Just wanted to check what you were saying.
I can agree with pretty much everything you said! Well done!
Only thing i would kinda disagree is speedcore being mostly 400+, because i think it's not only the BPM but also the sounds used that differenciate speedcore from faster uptempo or upterror.
I'd say speedcore is around 250-500 and splittercore also starting at around 500. It's a really slim line between speecore and splitter BPM wise. Splitter has much heavier kicks though.
Loving Frenchcore right now ❤
did you hear about the illegal rave that took place last weekend in Sint-Truiden, Belgium x)?
no but sounds skitz
thank you GPF
