Hold up! That is NOT what I said at all.
i used to get into it sure but there is no denying that that sound was quite RAVE based in its sound and hardcore since then has moved forward for the better.
Don't see the point here unless "rave" is a dirty word. But, whatever. At the raves here, it's the "dutch" sound that still gets played the most, just as it was back then, because it's barely strayed from DJ Paul's formula. Thus, when dutch producers have dropped that line about NYC, I take issue with it.
Either way, I think you're reading more into what I said. I'm hardly pretending that NYC was the be all end all sound. I just disagree with the concept that people got sick of it and that's why it stopped. Being here and experiencing the shit that happened, it literally died. It was it's own sound with it's own small core scene that, for a short period of time, got kinda big until it self-destructed.
