you can't bash happy hardcore beause of it's caracteristics... you can dislike it but bashing what makes it what it is, aint gonna help... you can dislike how watercolor has a transparent effect but saying it over and over again aint gonna change the fact that watercolor is transparent... so what's the point? that's just the way it is and whoever uses it, uses it to his advantage and would use something else if it would help him create what he wants to create...

alot of people bashed photography saying it should not be considered a form of art... what strand is saying is, I dont give a fuck if YOU think it's inferior, the important thing is, how can I use photography to make something dope and unique (I'm paraphrasing here)

the context here is a bit different obviously but I fail to see how happy or uk hardcore participates in the regression of electronic music as a whole. It does not discredit electronic music.

Happy and/or UK hardcore appeals to a certain audience that probably would not be interested in electronic music other-wise. Yes it is a young audience, the lyrical themes are not aimed at adults (although some do appreciate it anyways... which is kinda like watching lion king on repeat when you're 35 though). It can serve as an introduction to accepting electronic music as whole...

hell a whole lot of people bashed jump up and harder/darker sides of dnb a while back... but if it had not been for dnb remixes of nine inch nails I wouldn't be djing/producing/promoting dubstep... and I'd probably still be shunning away electronic music for dumbass reasons like... oh its made with machine which makes it automatically inferior

so do what YOU like, don't try and make anyone happy with your art, say what you want to say the way you wanna say it and stop worrying about how anyone else says what they say

But f*** you Mr. Clark. I haven't eaten a decent parmesan in a while, I'm actually fiending for it now.

On a nice homemade sauce rosée. Argh.
