Get your facts straight.
Don't mistake, I'm not dissing it. If anything it kind of reminds of a cd one of my friends had from 1994 called "Trance Hardcore 200 BPM" with Moonraver, Spastikman, Iconoclast, etc. I guess gabbwe's defined by what... distorted 909 base drum? Truthfully I guess your right though - I generally heard two different names for hardcore, happy hardcore and gabber, and typically thought that if it was 4/4 and above 160 bpm then it was generally classed as one or the other.
Yeah, and you gotta keep in mind that Gabber isn't as melody oriented. The main melody is usually something resembling a hoover, and there's no prominent bassline other than the kick.
Wow, they had Trancecore in '94? I only knew about the eras of Jungle/DnB. It's a big shame about how a lot of today's "hardcore" is merely that, sped-up Trance. I used to be so into it, but the abuse of Supersaw leads/pads wore down on me a LOT.
If you ask me, I think old school U.K. Hardcore is the best. It's melodic without sounding too commercial which is a huge plus for me. That reminds me I should probably download some of the older Bonkers CDs. Good times, haha.
Sorry if I sounded rude, like I said I'm a little OCD for genres, haha.
