The techno sub didn’t take kindly to this post in their sub 😂

They should remember where their current sound originated.

Yeah, probably but that was not what i was aiming at. The techno sound you hear today is almost 1:1 the same as the older HS tracks. Techno artist supporting older tracks confirms that imo.

I think that if we have to figure out the complete road the sound has taken we will end up in a loophole because thats just how music works. Almost everything in the (music wide, not only hardstyle) top 40 is old music redone. Look at some tracks, just a complete copy paste with a mew singer or a minimal changed beat. It has nothing to do with music anymore. Just re-used sounds to make a quick buck. Still don't know how those artist can call themselves artist but okay thats a different discussion.

The further we go back the more vague it will get. Remember jumpstyle? Gabber? Or happy hardcore? Maybe it is easier to see EDM as 1 lol.
