@irishclarinetist yes indeed it's a ''complicated'' genre to define, regardless it is a awesome genre even though some people have a hard time to understand this sort of music, might depend on the early years with much drugs and so don't know, anyway I'm just happy that this kind of music have evolved to a bigger scene (like America), thought I don't want it to be so mainstream that no soul is put into the music, like todays pop and hip hop(I used to like it aswell but ye).

@FetteNajdal Whatever genre it's called, I love it! The "Outta My Head" track you mentioned is really cool, and yes has a pop feel to it, and would be more appealing to the mainstream. I guess it's confusing to me as an American to define a genre based on a country, especially when communication worldwide is instant. It seems to be difficult to keep a specific description of a genre if the genre needs to evolve to survive. Good stuff regardless!

@irishclarinetist Scott Brown is Scottish, his born in Glasgow. When it comes to different styles I belive that you can make whatever you want you don't need to be from the UK to make UK hardcore but the origin may come from there. Also when we talk about Happy Hardcore, this track and many more from Scott is Happy Hardcore. a good example of UK hardcore is this track ''Darren Styles & Manian - Outta my head'' (got more of a pop tone in it).

Yes Scott Brown IS British , far as I'm aware he is Scottish also

[irishclarinetist]

@afbofficial & @FetteNajdal Is Scott Brown British? I don't know. If he was British, would this make his music UK Hardcore, or are there specific qualities of the music that must be present to define it as UK Hardcore? I dunno, all I know is that when I search for happy hardcore, I get what I want. Hardcore by itself seems to be to general and can be dark as well, and I'm more into the bright piano stabs and vocals mixed with the occasional minor-keyed measures, like at the end of this clip.

@FetteNajdal Fair enough comment. Across the board, Hardcore in the country is always UK Hardcore. Very rarely is it referred to Happy Hardcore. That term was left behind in the 90's. We separate the Hardcore styles in the UK by referring it to Gabber. Either way I'd say both styles as a pretty amicable co-existence. Not often is there conflict over what style is what, its a case of 2 styles developing its own sound from one entity decades ago.

@afbofficial not really they way I think it works I see people on each style hating and stuff about this is not music and the right style. I wish it was less genres to make it easier to find exactly what you want as you said to find this style I can go on forever, people call it trance others call it hardcore, happyhardcore, gabber techno etc etc as forever in my ears this will stay Happy hardcore and Scott Brown will forever be a symbol for Happyhardcore even if some will still call it hardcore

@FetteNajdal Unfortunately it doesnt work in the way you think it does. Its not so much classed on mood anymore by the way its made, structure and elements in it. Happy Hardcore developed until the genre got very trancey, the genre as a whole evolved over the millenia to form a >modern sounding style with more influence coming from trance, rather than the happy stabs and happy vocals we used to hear. The genre has received commercial success in the UK charts, and that will make the genre popular
