Wouldn't it be easier to go out and buy a hardstyle compilation CD, rather than try to work out how it sounds based on a few descriptions? Why are you making music you've never heard before?

i'll show you the meaning of hardstyle

Just do the music you like man, you don't have to name the genre if you don't know it.

Not sure if that link is hard style.. more hard / commercial trance ... from the late 90s. Good ol' Paffendorf... loved that Terminator 2 remix!

Hardstyle is this god-awful hybrid of trance, techno, and happy hardcore that sounds like a bizarre African death ritual involving pots, pans, bowel evacuation, and a sabre-toothed tiger with its testicles caught in a shop-vac. So it's not as bad as trance, but it's up there.

Hardstyle is like really awful dutch trance only with harder kicks, way longer and way cheesier breakdowns, and more drug references.
