If we really have to acknowledge 155bpm+ four-to-the-floor dance music as a "proper" genre in its own right, I think hardcore is a fair generalisation for all those styles of music.

couldnt agree more - there are far too many variations of the same theme for what is, in essence, the same thing...

 

But look at 'house' music - you get funky, deep, piano, tech, tribal, acid, vocal etc genres described yet nobody ever bats an eyelid to that...

(its sad when you see the number of DJs that are just puppets for record labels)
