That being said, one of the oldest and best hardcore labels in existence is now based in North Carolina and has been for a while. It's just a shame we can't get the parties going too.
I'm in Chattanooga. I remember the SSS/RaveWithUS Nashville Rocketown days, and then the Atlanta scene (my home scene) morphed itself out, and now there's hardly anything left. I'm so tired of Atl events not posting the genre by the DJ now days. It sucks when you're from out of town.
Oh word. I just moved back to Chattanooga myself. What side of town you on?
Eastern part. We've hung out before a couple of years ago.

Yep. No longer have colored hair, and no longer sport candy around...guess I've grown up a bit. I still blast some Happy Hardcore occasionally, but now I'm into the Super Eurobeat CD series from Japan and parapara dancing.

Northkore ****ing murdered.
East coast just cant bring it together like the west coast can for whatever reason.
I know there are lots of amateur producers around popping up or have been around that deserve way more credit. People like AOS or Clayfighter are making big tracks and getting recognition.
HTID usa will be in SF.
and like Wong said; the more fans get away from ****boi Gammer shit sound; the better our scene will do!

Was anyone on the old (c. late 90s) HappyUSA listserv run by Muppet****er (Noahphex)??
Coincidently, someone was just this very same question on the happy hardcore subreddit recently.
Re: a centralized US HHC DJ/promoter/enthusiast chat/message board thing, do you think a invite only Slack setup might work? If you're not familiar with Slack, it's a free, useable combination of irc, Hangouts, and social media 'threads'.

He makes music for Kniteforce/KFA. Had an EP out on KFA a few months ago you may or may not like and a show on KF radio. He's a good lad!

I hadn't realized this till you pointed out. I think it's a global trend, though. Not just over there.
I think it's funny that everyone wants their own little scene to thrive. I respect that. I know I do, too. But I feel that it's just gonna get worse in the sense that with more content being put out there, the harder it is to sort out the crap from the quality. Real crate diggers need a comeback.

Everyone expects to know what everyone makes or plays I guess

In ATL, it's more that everyone is just expected to play whatever is popular. If you see a flier, it's just going to be the usual 'EDM' interchangeable genres of trap/dubstep/electro/terror. Most punters don't even know that other genres exist because they aren't spoonfed anything else.
