Europe likes it hard, America likes it soft?

One of the things I've noticed over the years is that Europeans tend to listen to (and prefer) a much harder sound than Americans.
You may think of Holland and the UK, for instance, as "cradles of trance", but in fact Hardstyle is immensely popular in both of these countries, much more so than "airy" trance. Italy also pumps out a lot of Hardstyle. Many people in eastern Europe and Scandinavia also download a lot of harder music and even hardcore.
I've almost never seen any Americans rave about a harder sound, however. They seem to enjoy chill-out and slow progressive sounds a lot more. Anybody else notice this? A cultural difference, perhaps? |

and im a :(
but to be honest, i dont think a HUGE portion of europeans listen to hardstyle/hardcore/etc. it's mainly younger teenagers and such
altho it is certainly true, most europeans into the scene of any age do like their techno/minimal/acid-infused "harder" music :thepirate
certainly not the progressive house of new york, or funky house of miami or san fran. unless youre in spain :crazy: |

Actually, speedcore on the whole is faster than terror. Speedcore can go all the way up to 1000 BPM and is quite simple, while terror focuses more on darkness and atmosphere rather than speed. |
