Dbstf wrote: » oh no you've got it all wrong dude. That's like saying house and trance are the same. Gabber is produced completely different and it's tempo is way above that of hardstyle. And I as a hardstyle fan hate gabber.

Dbstf wrote: » omg.. you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. As a hardstyle producer and fan I think I would know when it was invented and what the differences are and they are NOT the same thing.
krd wrote: » No, you're being a genre nerd. Or maybe you're one of these people who think Fiddy Cent invented rap in 2001. How do you split your hairs? The Hoovers in Hardstyle are made by a different manufacturer than hardcore? The production may be different these days, but it is still the same genus.Dbstf, I'm not trying to start a fight with you... let's just say we disagree. And there may be difference between the styles - but they have the same root.

There may well be more than just you out there. Just ignore the snobs. Listen to what you like rather than what you think you "should" listen to.

I was just curious if people over here in Ireland had heard of it but my conclusion from this thread is that most of the people who posted don't even know what Hardstyle is and calling something "****e" without even knowing what it is shows clear ignorance.

But put it this way, if I'm walking down the street and I see a lump of dog sh¡t on the ground I'm not going to stick it in my pocket, bring it home and studying it before deducing that it is indeed a piece of dog sh¡t. Now, if I have a dog sh¡t fetish I'll probably be all over that turd and probably excitedly bring it and then be utterly devastated when I realise it came out of the arse of a feline. But then again each to their own. The thing is if I had a dog sh¡t fetish I couldn't really be insulted if other people chose not to study canine fecal matter to the same extent that I did, could !? Do you get where I'm coming from?
