I'd rather be earfucked by a horny Yorkshire Terrier.

I downloaded Scooter's entire repertoire after that 'respect to the man in the ice-cream van' video. I'm not sure he qualifies as hardcore, though, just because he says it a lot.

I quite like it and find it enjoyable to listen to while I'm doing something else. Some friends have an 'ultimate hardcore' compilation CD which they bought for the specific purpose of getting revenge on their neighbours who have late-night karaoke parties by playing it at a perfectly legal time the next morning.

HardCore is okay in very small doses, but it's an awkward beat to actually "dance" too. All you can do is kind of bounce up and down on the spot very quickly.

For those of you that don't know, I was a bit of a "clubber" before baby Abigail came along.

I've listened to most types of dance music, and nothing (allthough this is probably biased due to age) beats the Hard House era of the late 90's - early 00's.

It was fun, bouncy, hard, and contained vocals which I love in dance music tracks, as it makes them catchy, and easily recognisable.

Once met a guy who knew nothing about dance music whatsoever in an underground clubbing venue. He was a massive Heavy Metal fan, but he found that the underground Hard House music was in a lot of ways very similar to the Metal scene, in the way that people interacted in a friendly way*, plus the fast and continual beat suited him just fine, and he really enjoyed it.
This got me thinking, and when comparing the rock/metal scene to the dance scene, the only real difference is the music itself, because the people, their behaviour, and the overall way people just wanted to have fun all seemed very similar.

Anyway that's enough rambling from me, and I can hardly speak for the current dance music scene as I only go clubbbing now 4-5 times a year.

*may be due to excessive amounts of drugs

I don't listen to it anymore but I used to go raving back in the early/mid 90's and I mean proper raving, in a giant tent in a field. These days I listen to a bit of drum n bass occasionally, the more intelligent younger cousin of Hardcore.

So what passes for Hardcore these days, what have you been listening to?

Probably true of the more *dancy* clubs. But having only experience of rock/metal based clubs and your standard chav fest clubs, I always found it amusing that you were more likely to get in a fight at a normal club than at a place where normal dancing meant, essentially, beating each other up to the music.

Yeah you are right, the difference between a standard "commercial club" and going to a "proper dance club" is amazing.

Not a single bit of Burberry in sight if you go to the right places
