That's my feeling too these days, hardcore is slowly regaining some strenght after it was down there for a while.
Allthough i personally don't think that it will ever become again what it once was!
In it's glory days '94-'98, there where party's all over the Netherlands every weekened, a lot of them and huge raves many times a year!
I still have millions of flyers from those days, like trance and techno are these days, hardcore was doing it in the old days.
Filling up effortless the Statenhal Den Haag, FEC Leeuwarden, Sporthallen-Zuid Amsterdam, Maasvlakte HvH, Beursgebouw Eindhoven, Turbinnenhalle Oberhausen, Energiehal Rotterdam, USC Amsterdam, Jaarbeurs Utrecht, etc, time after time.
Had a great time, but after a while it all changed, the crowd got younger and younger, the music was raped by moneyhungry losers and the people forgot how it all begun and what it meant in the first place to be a gabber.
It became just that what it was all against in the first place, standing still on party's and looking dumb at each other, the "music" could be heard on the f*#cking top40 all the time and the whole atmosphere was gone....
So i stopped attending party's and listened to the music on my turntables @home, still very loud offcourse!
After a while i joined some friends again to a trance&techno party in Amsterdam and it had a very cool and party minded atmosphere, nice people and also great music, not like 200+ BPM but still some very loud badass bass and trippy melodies!!
It took off from there, that year was the first Innercity, loved it, and went to each and everyone and a lot more like 'em since then. The last party i've been to was Tiesto Solo9h last saturday and i had one of the best nights of my life.
So guess i'm a TranceAddicT now eh.......?!
