UK hardcore isn’t that bad, a lot of the worst cheese isn’t made any more, hardcore breaks is actually good stuff
it tends to be popular in the East of England – IMO its not meant to be taken seriously (is any dance music TBH?) a bit of a fun escape from the harsh fact that life in the East of England is otherwise boring and mundane, you’ve almost got all the stress of “Londonistan” and often none of the nightlife…
if I lived nearer I’d probably go at least once..
