No Basic B*tches: Why dating a hard-dance fan will change your life.

Girls, are you sick of dating the same old lame guys who would rather sit at home and twiddle their thumbs than go out and do something useful? And guys, are you sick of dating basic bitches who are as exciting as a slice of white toast (without butter, may I add)?

If you’re feeling more bored and unsatisfied than a 50 year old virgin, you’ve opened the perfect article which may or may not open your eyes to a whole new species of human, subsequently changing your life. If you’ve been dating the wrong kinds of people, it’s time to open yourself up to vibrant, passionate people who will expose you to new ways of life… It’s time to open yourself up to a hard dance aficionado because they are going to rock your world (and other things)!

– “They party harder than the others you know”
According to harder styles professor Sir Brennan Heart in this highly accurate statement taken from his 2013 release “F.I.F.O,” he states: “This is me, these are my people. We party harder than the others you know.”
He couldn’t be more right; harder styles fans DO really party harder than the ‘others.’ They’re not the types of people who stand still at festivals and worry about their make-up smudging; they are relentless and will dance for hours, giving zero fucks about anything other than the music!

With hardstyle boasting one of the tightest-knit communities in any given genre of dance music, members of the scene have undying love and respect for one another as they unite weekly to enjoy the music and lifestyle together.
When falling for a hard dance fan, you will be surprised at just how hard they party and it will probably make you wonder where the fuck they’ve been all of your life!

– They’re (typically) not basic bitches
Unlike basic-bitches who only attend festivals for status and don’t give a fuck about who’s programmed on the line-up, hard dance fans are the types of people who memorise line-ups and attend music festivals for the sole purpose of fully immersing themselves into the music and vibe of the festival. Most of the time, hard dance fans won’t care about dressing up in ridiculous, ‘high-fashion’ outfits; their first and foremost concern is usually their comfort and whether or not they will be able to dance for hours on end.
Unlike other species of human, hard dance fans will ALWAYS go crazy when they hear their favourite music, regardless of how stupid they may appear in front of other prudent members of society.

Hard dance fans typically live and breathe music; their love for it is inspiring and refreshing so I’ll leave you with this question: Would you rather be with somebody who’s going to enjoy a festival and dance all day or somebody who’s going to ask you to take 10000 photos of them and force you to choose a filter so that they can have the ‘perfect’ Instagram photo?

– They’ve got some serious stamina
Yeah, hard dance fans are pretty fucking ruthless in the bedroom! You know, it’s no surprise… After attending events and dancing for marathon amounts of time, their stamina is only bound to be as good as an athlete, especially those speedcore fans out there who somehow manage to dance to 300BPM.

This species of human will blow your mind (and other things).

– They love to travel
Travel is a key part of a hard dance fans life. Whether they travel across their own country to attend events or fly all the way from Australia to The Netherlands for festival season, one thing is for sure – they are adventurous as hell! They thrive on exploring and are more than happy to take a trip for the weekend to see a new place and squeeze in a festival too!

Get with a hard dance fan and you’ll soon be racking up some serious miles.

– They’re passionate
You can’t deny it; hard dance fans are amongst the most passionate people in the world. They have a burning desire to always learn and discover more about the scene and not to mention, get involved in the growth and development of it. Hard dance fans have that something special to live for and every day is a special day as long as they have music by their side.
Their passion for music can also correspond in their relationships and dating somebody with zest for life can be extremely exciting. This enthusiasm will probably somewhat rub off onto you and if you’re typically a boring piece of shit, then it would probably do you a world of good.

If a hard-dance fan’s joie de vivre and burning desire to learn and discover doesn’t rope you in then I don’t know what will!

– They will show you what a good festival ‘actually’ looks like
Hard dance fanatics will tolerate no less than an intricately designed event with beautifully designed stages and of course, a sensational production with lasers, strobes and fireworks. Your new love interest will not accept that you’ve never been to a festival without epic stage designs and will probably show you numerous aftermovies until you realise that you’ve been living under a rock for the past 20 or so years.
From lighting to design, sound and overall vibe, they will teach you all there is to know about decently organised festivals.

– They will open your eyes to new musical possibilities
Face it, prior to getting to know a hard dance fan, you probably sat at home jacking off to badly produced EDM whilst simultaneously asking yourself “is this all there is to life…?”

A vital part of dating a hard dance fan is them either coercing you to give the music a chance or them educating you on the different genres, sub-genres and sounds. Whether you enjoy the music or not, you have to admit that it’s like stepping into a parallel world that’s way more interesting than the ‘real’ world. Your eyes will be opened to some of the most boundary-pushing sounds which will undoubtedly change your perceptions on electronic music and its production forever. To say the least, you will be a lot more critical of how other genres of music are produced and what you used to listen to will no longer satisfy your cravings for innovation.

– They’re tough AF
Listening to 150BPM and above is not for everyone and it’s certainly not for pussies, so you can imagine that hard dance fans have a thicker skin than the ‘average’ folk. They don’t even flinch once when listening to aggressive raw hardstyle for hours on end; if anything, they just smile.
Not only this, but they’re somewhat immune to partying in all kinds of environmental situations; the probability of it raining or even storming at a festival in The Netherlands is pretty likely and regardless of the weather, they won’t let this stop them from partying!

– They are highly knowledgeable when it comes to vocal samples
Need I say more? Last, but certainly not least, believe it or not but hard dance fanatics know a thing or two about yep, vocal samples! They are the types of people who will break out in song and dance when watching a movie and hear a sample that’s been used in a track. Give them any line and trust me, they will start singing along. It’s entertaining really and you will soon become amazed at just how hard dance producers manage to make the sample seem way more catchy in a track!

 

So boys, girls, next time you enter the dating pool ask yourself whether it’s time to finally take that leap into a whole new world. You’d be surprised with how eye-opening it is to get to know someone that’s got that certain spirit a hard dance fan typically possesses. Happy dating people!
