Ohh.

Lets say we start making tracks that are completely different to all other genres, does that make it a brand new genre with one or two tracks instantaneously, right then and there?

[Imil]

If they truly are completely different from everything else then yes. Ofcourse it does, if they are not classified as any other genre, it's something new. Maybe people will only give it a name after 3 months, but that doesn't mean that all tracks in those first 3 months were not part of this specific genre.

[Dekkaz]

yes but does that mean the whole formula is down pat straight away and anyone that's going to make a track in that genre will know exactly how far they can go?

and.. your opinions on the future of hardcore

I can see Hardcore going the way of Hardstyle.
A few producers are starting to have 2 kicks in the main part.
What I mean by that is that it'll have a kick and at the end of the loop of the melody it'll have a pitched up kick. (see spoiler)

Spoiler

The Viper - Wasting Away
Roughsketch - No Colors
Paul Elstak - I'm Not An Addict

Hardstyle started with this in (at least) 2006.
And since then it's gone from it's best sound to complete crap... (well a lot of it is imo)

I predict that over the next few years, this COULD happen.
I really hope it doesn't though

Same goes for Human Resource (the Pernet brothers), who made one of the biggest classics of all-time called 'Dominator', which defined the sound of Hardcore for years. Before all of this, there was already talking about the harder edge of edm

If Human Resource - Dominator is hardcore then you might as well call Deadmau5 a hardcore artist.
wwwwooooooooowwww wwwwwwwwooooooooooooowwwwwwwww woooooooowoooooooooooooooowwwww
Come on how the fuck is that even remotely hard?
1990 is when it started then, interesting stuff though.

It was hard for edm back then. The softer side was way softer than nowadays stuff as well. We have to remember, that it was the beginning period and the music and equipment have evolved quite a lot from then. There are way more possibilities to make music harder, louder and noisier right now

Still, those Dj Skinhead tracks are seriously hard
