"During mid-late 1994, breakbeat hardcore re-emerged as happy hardcore or 4-beat which combined the manic synths with a faster, techno based beat, and happier, commercial tunes. By around 1996, most 4-beat had dropped the breakbeats, and most drum and bass had dropped the techno style synth stabs, leaving the two sounds almost entirely different. Important artists include Acen, Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket, Two Bad Mice, Nookie"
It looks, by the way this is laid out, that Acen et. al. are being labelled happyhard artists and I'm sure that Acen was not. In fact, Acen's entry indicates that he worked in breakbeat hardcore. Perhaps the final sentence needs a paragraph of its own - I have done this.

[edit] Old Skool re-hashes?
I think it's relevant to note that while not a 'comeback' of any description, modern Hardcore/freeform music continues to draw on the popularity of the 'cheezy' style of Old Skool tracks and Old Skool styled remixes of breakbeat hardcore tracks are still being produced as well as new songs designed to 'bring back/return to the old skool'. Ahem.
True, most of these draw much more from the style of the late 90s but since most of THOSE were drawing on the original breakbeat hardcore concept in the first place, it kind of leads down the same road, doesn't it? freshgavin 15:56 2005 07 15
[edit] London
is mentioned too many times. breakbeat/hardcore wasn't just a london thing. The better sounds of hardcore were coming out from everywhere. It's largly agreed that the better/more popular sounds were coming out of non-london record lables. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.147.212 (talk) 22:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] UK hardcore
Beware of the confusing UK Hardcore folks. This is a trance-like style with no real connection to breakbeat hardcore. It owes more to club trance if anything. New "breakbeat hardcore" music has emerged due to the dislike of "UK Hardcore". Breakbeat hardcore is more with jungle, drum n bass and old dark/happycore. --Revolt 08:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
UK Hardcore evolved from happy hardcore which in turn evolved from breakbeat hardcore so it does have a connection and a limited few new uk hardcore tracks have elements of the old breakbeat hardcore sound.
