Happy hardcore is a high-energy electronic dance music genre that emerged from the UK rave scene in the early 1990s, characterized by breakneck tempos around 160-180 BPM, pitched-up vocals, and euphoric synthesizer melodies. The sound combines aggressive breakbeats with cheerful, almost childlike elements, creating an intensely uplifting yet frenetic atmosphere. Popular in European clubs and underground rave culture, it emphasizes pure escapist joy and relentless positivity through its candy-colored aesthetic and infectious energy.
