I think so

Anima

Terrible kiddy music. "Lets throw everything to eleven and see what happens"

Awful ****e.

seannash

ive heard of hardstyle.i think its awful.
but what the hell is clubland?guess its another new subgenre for terribly fast music

Anima

Well if its the same thing I'm thinking, its a mix album series. Pretty much the same as Euphoria. It is... the worst thing... in the world.

seannash

ah so its not a new sub genre,its just a compilation series

teddy_303

Dance to Tipperary album, is it? That is the worst thing i have ever heard.
It is the opposite of music. Anti music I suppose I'd call it....

We have all seen the horrible add on telly.....:(

tman

in fairness you cant come in hear and say hardstyle is a **** name and then say you listen to NRG.

hardstyle makes more sense as a title than nrg makes:p

I don't know about that, NRG has been a commonplace title in genres for decades now... From Hi-NRG to Nu-NRG, up to Hard-NRG (which I meant to say instead of just "NRG")

Hardstyle is just plain silly... I honestly have more respect for clowncore!:P

not saying its not common place but apply your thinking to the nrg title


even the name is stupid...music that has nrg

see what i mean.

anyway i do agree its a horrible genre,the name is irrelevent i guess:P

Hi, first post, so possibly should have written something positive but in this case I can't.

I'm sure there's a few of you out there unfortunately. Quite possibly the worst type of dance music going bar gabba, purely for kids who are 'mad out of it'. The OP will grow out of it one would hope, but each to their own.

My brother loves the stuff. He nearly bought the crap they wear too, cept it was 120 quid.

Whenever he plays it I just remotely shut the computer down:D

g5fd6ow0hseima

IS hardstyle a sub-genre of Gabber, or Dutch Hardcore? Im confused, because there's hardstyle, hardtrance, then Jumpstyle.

Anyways, they're all ****e.

Any examples of hardstyle tunes? I know I'll regret listening to it but I still like to associate a sound with the sh*te you all speak of

seannash

i guess we have to remember how many of us were into happy hardcore/ultra sonic/qfx/scooter back when we were younger.

im hoping the op is young so i shouldnt be too hard on him

I expected worse to be honest! Reminds me of the Thunderdome style hardcore of the mid 90s - used to always want to hear that out to see what it would be like.

franklyshocked

I suppose I'm just jumping on the bandwagon at this stage but.....
Hardstyle is a small step up from clubland, and clubland is utter sh1te.

Clubland is like a bad Karaoke version of trace or hardstyle.
Lets take a "classic" coutry (and/or western) track, get some 16 year old to sing it badly and get some wonky 140bpm kick drum loop and hey presto its a hit!

IMO Hardstyle is just clubland with slightly better production values.

This fella is a favourite among scumbags. Also, the event filmed is huge over in Holland.

I would really love to hear a skobe attempt to pronounce Biomehanika:P

@ seannash
I get what you mean, but imo hardstyle is a far more ridiculous name for a genre, I'd be prepared to bet that the person who first coined it didn't use English as their first language...
Compared to that, "NRG" makes perfect sense - The music has heaps of energy

It’s all base no matter how you look at it. It’s catering for every taste, even though Its not my type of music and I think its billix. I still can’t knock it and hate on it. Every man to his own genre. If every electronic track sounded the same we'd be up Queer Street. Respect it for what it is.

Hardstyle is not the worst. Jumpstyle is. Hardstyle is complicated and rhythmic and deep compared to jumpstyle. Give the OP a bit of slack, he's admitting to something that he knows is going to be a bit uncool but he says he likes it so let the man enjoy his guilty pleasure. Stay the fukk away from jumpstyle though. That stuff was all made by 14 year old australians

Doyler92

I like my hardstyle but love my jumpstyle. Irekabd's number 1 here :pac:

This may be very naive, but are they not essentially the same thing?

Hardstyle originated in Holland, and pretty much started out as the stuff that gets played in room 2 of all the big Gabber raves there; believe it or not Gabber fans consider it to be "something mellow and funky for the girls and the older heads to dance to" when they can't take the 300 bpm madness in the main room

Jumpstyle started off as a refinement of Hardstyle by Belgian teenagers - the idea was to make the music more neatly and predictably structured to facilitate dance battles - what they call "jumpen". The jumpstyle subculture in Belgium is pretty much white Flemish kids in their teens and early twenties, there's hundreds of youtube videos of them showing off their moves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIwhtkWRIFU

^Most multicultural Jumpstyle video I've ever seen!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZdiGu4C9_A

^ sound quality is crap on that one, but it's basically a pretty accurate reflection on street level Jumpstyle culture; bunch of kids doing a weird Belgian folkdance in the McDonald's carpark to a the sound of a car stereo...


It's no different to Brooklyn kids spinning on their heads on sheets of lino while Afrika Bambaata and Grand Wizard Theodore play rap and early electro in the background really... Same idea, different culture...

Executive Steve

"Clubland" though is essentially Micky Modelle stuff isn't it? ****e that gets played at country "niteclubs".

ED E

Yeah. seen compilation videos of jumpstyle before...there's this one little kid in one....

He was pretty amusing to watch, but I cant find it now.

Anyways, thanks for the explanation.

Funny you should say that, I already love jumpstyle woops sorry :P

richie1239

Funnily enough, absolutely all of my friends HATE hardstyle and ''german rave'' as they would call it, with a passion. I absolutely hate most of scooters sh*t high-pitched songs and other crap like that, but the reason i love hardstyle is because of the reverse bass in most songs, no idea why but..:o

Yeah i like some clubland too, and i love electro and trance but i hate all that squeaky ****, the only clubland i listen too is darren styles (bit repetitive but what can ya do)

I think your all very negative on the sub-genres of dance music believing its simply a beat that young doped up kids listen to. Because its not. If you said that in Belgium or Germany you'd be confronted by thousands of 30-40 year old men and women who love their hardstyles and stuff like that, even though its past their age.

seany2929

There's a fairly big following of hardstyle in Ireland but you'd really need to be going abroad to get to the proper events.Was at Q-Base a few weeks ag over in Germany,mindblowing:D!!!

This whole jumpstyle/hardstyle/sh1testyle thing is genuinely making me reconsider how I'm gonna vote in the Lisbon treaty.

Seriously WTF??????

tdv

Absolute head wrecking sh!t. How in gods name anyone can go to a night club,festival or rave and listen to this is beyond me. The kick is just so horribly hard & annoying it feels like someone taking a sledge hammer to your head every 1/4 of a second. I'd get freaked out of my mind if I was on a night out taking some mind-altering chemicals & someone played this scary music. And that Gabber trip aswell its all just a loud of crap & uses that shock element that draws some nutcases in.

Like tman said if you want music thats edgier than listen to Hardhouse/Hard Nrg. Its hard(not over the top hard) ,pumping,energitic & melodic & it wont scare you to your living soul.

How Soon Is Now

Ehhh... Hardstyle is ok rather hardcore/Darkcore/Happy Hardcore be honest love all the early Thunderdome stuff Masters Of Hardcore theres loads good hardcore djs mostly in Holland Germany Italy France ...... etc.

And just let someone bloody like what they like ffs lol all i ever see on here this ooooo that just noise that to loud for me you have be on drugs to like that :rolleyes: bunch of auld ones. And no im not a 16 year old ''Knacker'' as the cool ones call them .

Looking at this shiiite is like being stuck in a timewarp...this was all going on back in the "Thunderdrome" album days, 15 fricking years ago!!! Let the past go people, this music style was, and always will be utter tripe, followed by a bunch of drug ridden scumbags (some of which are now in their 40's).

That said, the shows (lighting / stage etc.) these places put on seem to be amazing...nothing to say there.

However, lets not forget the "ants in my pants" barnyard dance...now come on, it's plain ridiculous!

dubsbhoy

not my cuppa vodka, but whatever floats your boat i suppose

DarkJager

I like hardstyle.Well some of the better stuff that actually holds a pretty good structure to the tunes (e.g Alex Kidd, Yoji, The Prophet etc). There is some awful **** there as well though.

SilverHaze

Love Hardstyle, have for many years.

Who like hardcore breaks?

Are you for real?Hardstyle is fast becoming the choice of dance music in Ireland, I listen to mostly trance, tech trance etc but also listen to a bit of hardstyle such as cally and juice, andy whitby and lisa pinup but no way are you alone on that one.I think a lot of people here might be getting confused between hardcore/gabber and hardstyle. Hardcore is trash and as for clubland that music is disgusting. I don't think people realise the amount of skill it takes to dj and producing a dance tune is extremely difficult, much harder than writing a song or learning to play guitar.
