There's a very small percentage of hardstyle out there that's good IMO, right from the start it was way too formulaic.

Tunes that did it for me were ones like Atlantic Wave - The Creation, Psycho Hardstylers - The Game, Analogic Disturbance - Second Chase EP...

Nowadays Hardstyle is just about sounding the same as what's already out rather than doing something new.

Hardstyle = Hennes & Cold Bassline, Fat Kick, Screechy Synth and Annoying or Slanderous Vocal.
