trust me your not listening to enough hard style then... and I don't mean that as the be all and end all, I just think you aren't hearing enough.

Hardstyle isn't about JUST being hard, its basically the music at the harder end of the hard trance spectrum (its evolved from it). It's more about the PERCUSSION and STRUCTURE which the "hardness is delivered". The bass is very important, but its the quirky riff which goes with it which gives the track its unique style. Hardstyle is power and energy at a good tempo. Hard House for me is not this.

Hard House is exactly what it is, and I'm sorry but I think you couldn't mistake the two in a million years. They sound different and are completely different in design and theme.
