does hardcore sound like happy hardcore except without the happy?
i think i heard it in a guys car, it was extremely repetitive not in a techno kind of way with changes, but in a repetitive repetitive way with NO changes at all, like kazaa music
it's like the kind of stuff you hear late at night on top20 stations

Hardcore has redeeming qualities. It's fun as hell to dance to, but its repetitious basslines don't leave much room for innovation in my opinion.

no, that would probably be trancecore.

Keep in mind hardcore is a genre with as many subgenre as house, so all I can say is: chances are either the bassdrum is distorted or it's very fast (about as fast as drum'n'bass, but with a 4/4 beat).

Lots of different styles of hardcore here. Just wondering though, how do you separate gabber from hardcore?

Here we don't talk about gabber & hardcore as musicstyles, but they're different things.

Hardcore: the music genre
Gabber: the person who listens to hardcore

Yea I know, but I've seen people use hardcore and gabba as two different genres over and over. So what is it that these people use to separate the two?
Wildfir3
i think they're just stupid

Gabba is just constant beats at a ridiculous speed. Hardcore now is much slower than this is has got less trancy to become happier again. If you listened to a scott brown tape you would see the difference as the first half he plays upfront hardcore and in the last half gabba (or some people call it makina (spanish hardcore) There are loads of different types of hardcore which is good as the music would've got as stale as it did in 98-99 with everyone playing the same tunes.

But gabber is indeed the name of hardcore produced in Netherlands as well (or of anything that sounds like Dutch Hardcore).
