see Happy hardcore (disambiguation).
Happy hardcore, also known as happy rave, happycore or happy
gabber,[2][3][4] is a genre of hard dance[1] typified by a very
fast tempo (usually around 160–190 BPM),[5] often coupled with
solo vocals or sentimental lyrics. Its characteristically 4/4
beat[6] "happy" sound distinguishes it from most other forms of
hardcore, which tend to be "darker".[7] It is typically in a
major key. In its original incarnation, it was often
characterized by piano riffs, synthetic stabs[8] and spacey
effects. This genre of music is closely related to the typically
Dutch genre of gabber. Happy hardcore evolved from breakbeat
hardcore[1] around 1991–1993, as the original house music-based
rave became faster and began to include breakbeats, evolving
into oldschool jungle[9] which evolved into drum and bass. Some
of the most famous artists of this genre include DJ Brisk, Scott
Brown,[2] Darren Styles, Hixxy, DJ Paul Elstak, Anabolic Frolic,
Dune,[2] Scooter, Critical Mass, Stu Allan (a.k.a. VISA),
Dougal, Slipmatt, DJ Sharkey, DJ Gammer, DJ Sharpnel, nanobii,
and DJ S3RL.
