I'm not suggesting anything of the sort.

I'm with you on that one, hard trance is hard trance and hardstyle is hardstyle. You're absolutely correct that hardstyle with a melody would be basicallyt hard trance but then there are hard trance/hardstyle hybrid records that cross both boundaries.

I think what most people who talk about melody on this post mean is that they are simply tired of hardstyle not having any, and are more drawn to hard trance now.
