Probably the only genre I can indentify by looking at CD sleeves rather than actually listening to it?
Good? Bad?

my brother used to have a comp of this he would play during family trips. I had barely any context for dance music of any kind at the time so I'm not sure if I liked it or not, but at the very least it's fairly memorable stuff.
what does he file at the hall of records?

the exact opposite of music.
Fuck Happy Hardcore.
Its one of the things that finally killed rave culture, that and a little thing called Trance.
Dance music for people that cant fucking dance.

I don't know exactly what it is... but for a time in about 1995 the entire "dance" section of a Champaign record store I went to was full of albums with covers like this:

Yeah, I know all the covers to those have Roderick faces on them. And yet... that tells me nothing.

Happy hardcore is a form of dance music typified by a very fast BPM (usually around 165-180), often coupled with male or female vocals, and saccharine lyrics. Its characteristically 4/4 beat "happy" sound distinguishes it from most other forms of breakbeat hardcore, which tend to be "darker". In its original incarnation, it was often characterised by piano riffs, synth stabs and spacey effects.

At parties, I always viewed happy hardcore as a joke and yet when you talked to hardcore ravers, they considered it like the new wave (circa98) almost in an ironic way. Whoever said one of the deaths of rave was otm.
