Talk:Happy hardcore

Small re-write
Have attempted to kick off a re-write of this, as frankly the whole thing was a mess. I've redirected both 4-beat and UK hardcore for now to this as both of those articles were even less sourced than Happy hardcore and mostly just had the same bits of content duplicated.

I've tried to write some UK lineage for this, as that's my knowledge area (at least until about 1998), and bits of the Euro new beat and Hardcore techno era. A link into the much better and sourced bouncy techno article needs adding also.

I'd be really grateful for those with knowledge of the Belgian, German, and Dutch hardcore scenes to add some history too - the omission is in no way on purpose! With some reasonably sourced narrative, hopefully this article may find some new life! Altlondon (talk) 21:43, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Post-2000 History
No mention of SEA and Oceania scene. Biggest name I can think of is S3rl. Should be something on both regions' scenes. 2600:6C8A:B740:C:79D8:FCC6:2C81:DEC0 (talk) 05:39, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

What is happy gabba?
The introduction contains the sentence "The thing that makes happy hardcore stand apart from happy gabba, is that happy hardcore tends to have breakbeats running alongside the 4/4 kick drum.".

Nowhere in the page is "happy gabba" linked or explained. The sentence is actually associated with a citation, but I'm a little suspicious since a Google search for "happy gabba" returns no relevant results (other than this page itself). 135.0.34.7 (talk) 15:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
