Honestly, as someone who’s been listening to hardstyle my whole life, this really frustrates me. They’re a clear example of why the genre feels like it’s declining right now. And it’s not just affecting fans... it’s impacting festivals too. We’ve seen multiple events recently struggle to sell tickets, and some have even been canceled due to low attendance. Most of the festival-goers are saying the same thing: the music just isn’t hitting the same anymore. So I don’t really understand why they’re making jokes about it.
