For a start, its not a proper advert. It lasts over a minute, and I want that minute back.
The girl at 00:12 is frightening. Is that the aspirational ideal for fans of this? She looks like she is trying to eat her own face. There seem to be a lot of generic, plain girls who seem to be wearing only the bare minimum of clothes they stole from New Look.
The men are hilarious too. Clearly they've picked two average guys and they've agreed to do it on the condition they can bring their fat pal. Nobody seems comfortable at all in this.
The voiceover woman, coupled with the beats, gives me a headache. The advert shows club footage of people going wild to this sort of thing: I didn't believe that clubs like this actually existed, or that people would ever go to them. It just looks like such a horrible, unpleasant experience.

Why does it tell me about seven hundred times that it's the only hardcore album i need? Just say it once for god sake and go away.

I would imagine so, yes. Or maybe not. Why knows? I don't.

Your avatar is amazing. Her face even out-slabs Slabface's.

Just watched the first half of that ad, it could be the ridiculous amount of sugar I've eaten today but I think I've just 'come up'.

I love hardcore. I mean, I don't. But it's hilarious. Happy Hardcore is even better, being about 100 bpm faster.
As for the blokes, Styles and Breeze are a proper DJ duo - it's just a shame that Styles is kind of fit and Breeze is kind of...not.

I actually once found a copy of Clubland X-Treme in the street years ago. It wasn't Hardcore, sadly, but it did prove a useful instrument in driving people away from my school common room when my friends and I wanted peace, particularly the speeded-up version of Khia's ode to oral sex "My Neck, My Back."
What does "come up" mean exactly?

Now I'm not one to comment on people's music taste, but I just don't get the idea of people buying a hardcore club CD. I can just about understand people jumping up and down to a loud techno track in a club environment, but do they buy a CD of the stuff and put it on while they're cooking?

I had a favourite of these, that they don't seem to advertise anymore. It was called "Totally bonkers hardcore extreme" or something. The advert kept playing a snippet of hardcore and then some shouted 'totally bonkers' over the top.
We liked to imagine people driving to nature reserve car parks, putting it on, dropping and dancing in the car seats.

Can you keep a secret? I stole that avatar off of some website ages ago...totally forgot about it until recently. It was too perfect not to be on lowculture.

It's the weirdest thing ever - the avatar I mean. It almost looks 3D, which Im not altogether all that comfortable with.

If we're discussing your fabulous accessories, SheSaysThat, can I ask where your signature is from? It just made me laugh an awful lot.
