Small re-write
editHave 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
editNo 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?
editThe 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)
- I have added a wikilink to Gabber, which is the alternate spelling. ResonantDistortion 16:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- That is not correct. Happy gabber (in British English speak) is the Dutch version of bouncy techno. Reynolds (Energy Flash book) has it written as "bouncy techno / happy gabber" in the index section. The Reynolds citation used here is not on about gabber itself. Reynolds is trying to describe the difference between happy and bouncy here but importantly from a 1996 perspective. The actual change to happy, mentioned under 1990s growth section, is due to a fusion with bouncy around 1996. This detail hasn't yet been added though is in a separate Reynolds article from this period. Hope this helps. Revolt (talk) 13:29, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
