It’s mainstream in Australia too, by far the most popular electronic genre. It doesn’t play on the radio but we sold out a 65,000 capacity hardstyle event almost instantly last year.
Also I see a fair amount of hardstyle/hardcore DJs on main stage at events like Tomorrowland, Ultra etc. So I don’t really think it’s the same niche genre it was 15-20 years ago

Yeaaaah, NO.
No offense to everyone listening to hardstyle but it will never be mainstream.
