Looks like there's a bit of editorializing going on
here. Look at the description for UK Hard House:
"Stupid House" is pretty interchangeable with Nu-NRG,
except where Nu-NRG is hard and driving every once in
awhile, Stupid House (better known as UK Hard House
for reasons unknown as it sounds neither hard nor
housey) is just retarded. It's probably the offbeat
bass stabs that lend credence to its defining 'stupid'
sound. And the horn fanfares, making it sound like
silly circus music. And the crowd cheering samples,
which make it seem cheap and gimmicky. But where other
party music (Happy Hardcore, Eurodance) has a
self-aware, tongue-in-cheek affability, Stupid House
here legitimately tries to pass itself off as
something serious and genuine. Like actual contentious
music. A chip-on-its-shoulder, more-hardcore-than-thou
ethos, something so laughably ridiculous even Gabber
House looks cooler in comparison. Pretending to be
what it's not makes this whole genre fraudulent and
insulting to those who just want to have a good time.
And that's before you see how the kids dance to it.
Stupid House is the bargain bin of electronic music.
It also encompasses those signature-melody tracks that
are always packaged in 'BEST CLUB ANTHEMS EVER'
compilations, like The Launch, which are the musical
equivalent of junk food.
Also for what it's worth - this site is in dire need
of a "skip intro" button.
