back when Evil Activities and Neophyte released - one of those days i was in 9th grade, we had a music teacher which allowed us to bring our own music to school for the last 10 mins, the moment that massive distorted banging bassdrum dropped everybody was jumping from their seats out of suprise, they didnt expect that - i will never forget the face my teacher was doing when that kick dropped :D

This Video made me almost cry dude. I started my Hardcore Journey in 2010 when I bought a Sampler mixed by Nosferatu and Lancinhouse. I was 11 Years old and I didn't know anything about the scene back then. All I knew was: THIS IS MY STYLE FROM NOW UNTIL I DIE. From then on I was hooked and Millenium/Mainstyle became my #1 Music. It's not just that this specific sound is just absolutely raw and powerful which makes you feel good. Also the euphoric and even emotional side of Millenium is very important to me. Everytime I listen to those Big Anthems, I can close my Eyes and feel like im in the middle of a giant Venue with thousands of people all having the same musical taste like me, all feeling the vibe like me, all living live like me. As I grew up I was the only kid in my school/peers that listend to Hardcore. Hence I often was made fun of, being the kid with the weird music taste. That sucked so hard. But I never let go, always contiuned digging my kind of music, trying to find people that think the same way. Proudly as fuck I can now say It's been 2 Years since I've found my little group of ravers that share the same taste, go to parties with me, that come over and blast tracks with me. Even my girlfriend casually enjoys the tracks I play for her. Hardcore changed my life and it all began with Millenium for me. HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE!

had the best parties in the millenium and post millenium era. this will always be the best phase of hardcore for me. Incredibly high production standards with great melodies, instead of a distorted sine wave at 250 bpm like it's nowadays standard. at around 2018 something shifted and went quite downhill after covid. I maybe like about 1 out of 30 releases that come out these days. These past years made a huge difference in the hardcore world. Great video tho :)

0:03 there's really no need to listen to much else to realize this was the golden era of Hardcore❤️

Only the memories will survive. Almost got tears after watching this.

Genau dich hat es gebraucht! Finde auch immer neue tolle tracks in deinen Videos :)

I am a 42 guy that lived hardcore era from 1997-98 to 2007. Regarding Millenium sound, much respect to all the producers that propose the sound of those unforgettable years in dedicated sets/areas in the current parties. Enzyme for me was the best of the best (Nosferatu, Endymion, Ophidian, Meagashira...) but also Promo, Angerfist, Dione, and the italians like Noize Suppressor, AOF, Tommyknocker, Dj D and many others created many dancefloor killers. Great video, much respect from Italy!

Back when Hardcore was GREAT! And now we have Uptempo only :(

Omg du haust hier aber auch einen Dokubanger nach dem nächstem raus 😭❤️ Richtig liebe diggah!

In my head, there were two different sides to Millenium Hardcore: the melodic, anthem hardcore and the more noisy, screechy hardcore. I kept both in separate folders on my mp3-player. Producers used to do both, like Noize Suppressor - Live It Or Lie It vs Noize Suppressor - Bassdrum Bitch (both released in 2011, so post-millennium, but in terms of style still millennium though). In your video you do focus more on the melodic side of the era (which isn't wrong, it was very dominant back then), but at the cost of those, how could you call it, mainstream industrial? It wasn't as distorted as industrial, but certainly not melodic. You get what I mean, but if you need examples, I'm happy to provide those. Anyway, they didn't get separate labels, there was no need to as it was all hardcore. No turf wars of which was best, or who was the hardest. Does hardcore seem fractioned more now, with certain niche subgenres like Uptempo dominating and pushing everything aside?

Incredible how you just skip past Promo until the very end. His Promo Files are the blueprint for the style and his importance to the genre cannot be overstated. But, yet again, besides this (glaring) omission the video is very solid and gives a decent look into the best era in Hardcore.

I'm so satisfied that you gave good credit to Italian hardcore. You have to know in Brescia there is a massive underground hardcore culture, unlike in Netherlands where after 90s Hardcore became a "legit" music genre and industry. Number One and Florida clubs since 90s give home to a lot of Italian gabbers that believe in Hardcore as a true religion.

Brought back so many memories, great video!!

Thank you for making awesome video!! This video makes me easy to understand about hardcore transition, and I also enjoyed quiz part! HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE!!🔥 From Japan with love❤

This was hectic! Mad love from Australia 🇦🇺! Hardcore will never die 🖤🖤🖤

I know probably no one will read this, but I'll have my say. I grew up listening to millennium hardcore and nu-style hardstyle. Personally, I think 2005-2010 were the best years for both genres and all electronic music in general. I appreciate that there are still stages with these genres at the big festivals. I also respect people for whom, for example, early hardcore is the best music because they grew up on it. Early uptempo was also quite enjoyable to listen to. However, in my opinion the whole hardcore scene is going in a very wrong direction. Artists like Angerfist have lowered the quality of their productions a lot. The new style and new faces in the scene like Deadly Guns or N-Vitral are no match for legends like Nosferatu or Neophyte. The only subgenre that has not lost its quality is Terror. The beginnings of Frenchcore were promising, but now labels like Hardcore France or artists like Sefa for me are the worst thing that has happened to this subgenre. I realise that when millennium hardcore came into being a lot of people said the same thing I think about modern hardcore, that it's the death of the genre and so on. But really, the main stages at festivals and the top producers are now making such crap that it's unlistenable. I say this as someone who listens to all subgenres of our music and many other hard genres like hardtek, hardtekk, hardtrance, makina etc.

TY for the update .I've been out the scene for 12years due to an illness.

Never heard about Mainstyle before. Rather would remind me of Hardstyle. We used to call it: Mainstream 😊

Holy **** this is well made, really gives You the vibe. Although I think Ophidian would have had a place here. I would love a piece on makina music. Interesting genre almost no one knows about. Bit cheesy at times, but full of downright creativity and skill for the time. It's from Spain, pruduced between ~1995 and ~2005. Origins include the grabber scene, Euro dance, Trance and Italodance. Most vinys have 3 versions of a track, the "Melody" the "Base" And the "Hardcore" Facinating genre full of heart. I'd love for you to check it out.

i miss theese days :(

Was expecting Unleash the Beast by Korsakoff and Outblast to be in this video.. overplayed like hell back in the day, even on Dutch television

Great video, informative and I like the editing haha I am 16 and getting more into harder edm, although i have always liked it, just never got too into it and learned the history. Dances like the melborne shuffle, jumpstyle, hakken, I am also trying to learn Can't wait to go to festivals and concerts, i am particularly a fan of danny angerfist (especially his older tracks. Pissin razorblades in my favourite album) and mad dog. Anime and miss k8 r also good imo, and the prophet I also enjoy some gabber. Such a great atmosphere Thanks for this video 💯💯 Also with uptempo...uhmmm.. millenium is still the way to go

Imo the biggest differences between Millennium and Post-Millennium are the melodies and the vibe. Pre-2010 stuff was way darker and more aggressive. Angerfist's Mutilate is the best example. By 2011 stuff already 180'd. Way more euphoric and upbeat, like the Nothing To Lose album from The Viper. Evil Activities imo is a great example. If you listen to the stuff from before 200,8, and then after, it's like night and day. Literally.

❤MILLENNIUM HARDCORE 4LIFE❤

Hi, may you please share the catalog of various songs that have been used in this documentary? Danke schön!

Sou ouvinte do hardcore desde 1993 , me identifico mais com Early e Millennium.

Appreciate the effort, but was expecting a video on 00's hardcore.

Hardcor3 lives !🤯💥💯🔥

Well done.

Very well done

Except everything after 2010 is mostly shit if you associate it with mainstage or MoH cheesy melodies sucked super hard after a few years. The part when it was pick the anthems is exactly where it turned to absolute shit, when Angerfist goes cheese on mainstage and endymion vanish into obscurity you knew hardcore had become diluted with shit, the big labels like Enzyme and The Third Movement began to die also.

The Viper & Nosferatu - Kingdom Come was released 2015 not 2010

The 2000s - mid 2010s is my favourite era! Really dislike where the scene is at today...Although early Gabber and mid 00s Industrial is back on the rise abit here in Australia...but all the "main" big events are raw and up-tempo rubbish Under appreciated Anthem - Decipher, Shinra - Down Under (Masters of Hardcore Australia Anthem) Unfortunately I was too young to attend that event back in 2012 😂

Unfortunately the hard dance scene ain't much known here in Brazil due to the lack of iintelligenc of many people.

01:07 buenardo!

Nice documentary !!!! 3:04 which track is this ?

What's the name of the tune that start at 11:05?

No shit I go back to FL Studio!

man I miss gabber from mid 90's

why do you never mention noisekick?

Start yr day with some Unicorn on K!

Track 5:35

Modern hardstyles mostly stems from millenium hardcore with its production techniques

1:34 song ?

anyone got a track list?

Millenium hardcore started in 1999 and ended in 2007. They havent found a name yet for the 2008-2015 era, but def not millennium hardcore.

The moment hardcore lost his balls for good 😂

top productio from 1995 to 2000/2002 then to much electronic

JeR

😈😈

Millennium ended in about 2008 imo. Evilution was the first album with questionable listenability.

Uptempo is not the tempo.

90ies hardcore was the only one with full pressure, i think. later hardcore has lost its dynamic and was more noisy than strong in sound. my opinion. To me, the differencies that are discriped in millenium hardcore here don't have any impact on that. of course, it's all a matter of taste, so this is no front against any style from my side, but i think, that nowadays most younger people can't understand what i mean. they grew up with the listening habits of an extremely low dynamic range and can't be able to give up that fresh and noisy loudness-habit to have a pressureful-sound with less loudness instead.
