	Happy Hardcore
		Happy Hardcore (which I will refer to as HHC often) is "a sub-genre of Hardcore that maintains the fast-pace, hard hitting rhythms, but adds similarly-fast synthesizer/piano runs and vocal samples altered to make the most soulful diva sound like a warbling chipmunk.
		The Happy Hardcore genre has been slowing down recently (hence Final Chapter perhaps?), and I'm glad for this shift to a softer, less abrasive style.
		Let's see, how to put this: Not as good as most of the Happy 2b Hardcore(s), but as good as (maybe a little better than) most of the Happy Hardcore Foundation(s).
