Could someone explain to me what makes uptempo uptempo? Been looking up on the internet but haven't been very successful on that. Maybe you guys also have links to other discussions that ?
From what I understand(I think) what defines uptempo is the screeches, kicks that are high in mid freq and more energetic(maybe you could call it crazy) atmosphere?
Maybe you guys can give some more information.
Thanks:)

Fill me in too, please 
I honestly have no idea. Some kind of buzzword to describe a faster hardcore.
Like, what is the difference between "Sjammienators & The Caveman - Come With Me" and frenchcore?

Yes, that's pretty much the uptempo bpm range, I thinkBoi wrote:I think that uptempo mostly is 200-220BPM, but also heard songs that go up to 240BPM.Emre wrote:Well I think you forgot the most important thing that defines it, which is BPM.
What do you think?
if you go faster, you go into the speedcore/splittercore/extratone territory.-

Horrendous production quality, quantity over quality, absolutely zero originality, the weakest kicks since the cheesiest happy hardcore was around, made for children.What defines Uptempo
Maybe if you wrote some music you wouldn't need 6 kick drums!

Like most here said, high bpm (200+), lots of screeches & fx kicks. Recently highly resonating punches of kicks have become quite popular within uptempo as well. Maybe not something that defines uptempo as a genre per se, but hip hop vocals are used very often. The same goes for other hardcore subgenres tho.
Sorry, but 240+ bpm is definitely not speedcore, splittercore or extratone. Speedcore starts at 300 maybe, splittercore and extratone are 500 & 1000 + minimum. You could argue terror sits in the same bpm range, (around 200 - 300) which sometime contain elements from the genres you named.Emre wrote: Yes, that's pretty much the uptempo bpm range, I think

I know, but with 'if you go faster' I more or less meant that 'after uptempo, the next step on the ladder is speedcore>splittercore>extratoneSorry, but 240+ bpm is definitely not speedcore, splittercore or extratone.

Frenchcore tempo with raw kicks sped up chipmunk style so they lose all power.
Add in a 4 second loop of a classical song for 1.5 minutes followed by a big room house style buildup for another 30 seconds so the militaristic party crowd can show their o-faces to the cameras and the paid actors makeing bassfaces when the beat drops.
