Not sure mate. Some people think hardcore could be the new hard house (by this I mean the next sound that gets 5000+ people in one place). It's faster than HH but the thing is it could be too fast. Hardstyle might be big, its similar in speed but could be too hard for people ie those who don't like gabba kicks may not be keen, depends on the DJ imo...whether they just play mind numbing shite fer an hour.

Not sure if music is just the only reason. Recon it's the drugs and a whole host of other factors.

I hope Hardstyle will take off. Kinda has had a ropey introduction within some scenes with hardstyle DJ's being put on at the wrong time ie The Crow for the a last two hours of a hardcore night...kinda killed it (no names mentioned...you know who you are knobbas )
