To some people it's all hardcore which is defined by the extremity of the sound rather than whether it's 4/4 kicks or heavy breakbeats...
Many more artists like Doormouse, Rotator, Ely Muff, your man Teknoist, Dolphin and even Snares draw influences from hardcore techno... It's the artists who break down the boundaries between genres, you can't stifle that sort of creativity.. This forum is a part of that natural progression.. I don't see anything wrong with it other than the potential for putting people's noises out of joint, but if people want this sort of forum then there is nothing to stop it happening..... Each to their own and all that.
