The state of Hardstyle - 2021

[DirtyTok]

Dude, what the fuck are you smoking?

Nothing. I've been too much damaged by too many evil people who are at family, administration, justice, healthcare, neighborhood, job, state services, etc... and now by the free teknival people, that's it.

You sound like a person who is a few steps away from prison/mental hospital

I was about to say that. I hope you find help man. I sincerely mean it.

interesting, well must say feel totally detached from all that stuff. don't have tiktok and this whole dancing to a few seconds of a song is very gimmicky and i can never really tell if audiences worldwide are just making fun of hardstyle (but then that's the point because no one makes serious music, to reach those wider audiences).

The videos I watch are old aftermovies, and the occasional shuffles or jumpstyle videos. they are still around but those awesome aftermovies have gone

Yea, something with a virus... You wouldn't want to see an aftermovie of an empty dancefloor, now would you?

nono, the cool edits, both in camerawork and in tracks, showcasing the full range of music at the parties, the different stages and really capturing the vibe of the party. any big party production could put together a movie showing a stage and fireworks. the old qlimax, defqon, qontinent, q-base, reverze, bassleader etc etc aftermovies attracted soo many fans, but just a relic of the old youtube now

edit, actually even to compare this to defqon 2019 aftermovie is so much better (my opinion)
