Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 5
1 January 2009 by SilkyIf the ones who left comments on the Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 4 TV’s Worst Adverts’ entry are anything to go by, your average Hardcore fan is a humourless, souless, near-illiterate, irony-free and presumably deaf bore – much like a certain someone who writes a blog about bad TV adverts.
It’s not just Silky Shitbiscuit they’ve something in common with, though. They’re much like Ross Kemp too – because the only emotions they can express are happiness or anger.
Which is why the release of Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 5 must have been an emotional bungee jump for them:
A new album of your favourite music is always something to be happy about.
But soon that happiness will turn to anger when they hear that Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 5 is the “only hardcore album you need” making them feel pretty foolish about buying the previous 4 Clubland Xtreme Hardcore albums.
But as they’re giving it large, possibly after having paid £30 for several hours top quality frottaging at the NEC, possibly whilst doing the ironing at home, the anger is replaced by some Hixxy, Styles and Breeze tuned happiness.
But it wont last.
If this is the only hardcore album that they need, what should they do when Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 6 is released?
Blimey, thinking their way through this commercial conundrum is bound to make them angry again.

Keith by the look of your shoes you are not one to judge on taste- the Hardcore scene is an up and coming multi million pound industry. The advert does exactly what is says on the tin sells the CD, I think you need to focus your attention on such adverts as Ocean Finance!

Look I have never seen the appeal of hardcore but thats not my point. I have just noticed that most of the blokes in this ad are in there late 30’s/early 40’s and there all bold is this a side effect of to much coke / mda / ketermin oh to all those blokes I can do, you a good line in viagara by now i think you will need it

Kesmund. . . i didnt see that many bald people && as for old. . what type of music do you like, coz i can guarentee theres a person over the age of 50 in that type of music so keep your mouth shut. && as for the drugs, you obviously dont know nothing to do with hardcore seens tho theres a strict no drugs policy, you get caught with any sort of drugs you get kicked out of the club. dumbass

Wow what a bad ad. That girl’s voice makes me want to rip off my ears. I am a big fan of hardcore though and this ad doesn’t barely reflects anything good.
Elliott
Said on the 5 February 2009
I honestly don’t see what makes this advert so bad. That’s the generic style of all club/dance/hardcore album adverts — I mean, hell, on most of them even the voiceover is similarly annoying.
As a HUGE hardcore fan, I look down on the whole Clubland X-Treme Hardcore franchise as commericialised chavbait. It’s really not a good representation of what we’re all about. Real fans will be listening to the Hardcore Nation or Hardcore Heaven albums which don’t even need to advertise on TV.
On the relationship between raving and drug use etc., Storm, Whizzkid and many other big hardcore MCs promote “safe raving” at the start of their live sets. Whether it actually helps or not is obviously a completely disparate issue but the fact remains that they try.
Hopefully I’ve made my point that this advert is just a poor, mainstream reflection of a scene that’s actually something special. I’m not denying it’s a shit advert in the slightest, just don’t use it to put us all into a fucking box. Not all of us are illiterate “chavs”, you know. HTID!

I actualy have this cd its not great the 1st and second volumes were alot better this is just basicaly whats in the charts and it gets given to the dj’s to do their thing with it and spat out on to cds

It isn’t Hardcore anymore……. It’s Pop-Trance sped up and it’s cringe-worthy.
If you want to listen to REAL Hardcore, early to mid nineties Hardcore………. The days before Styles, Hixxy and people like that sold out to the commercial market, oh and Hixxy was thin in them days too!!!!!!!

I cannot believe everyone in here, i have all different types and love them all, i like the hardcore heaven albums (bit harder) but im more into clubland extreme stuff i.e. Darren Styles, Re-con, Squad-E.
For everyones information were not all chavs who take drugs, i have never taken drugs and never ever want too (whats the point?), i actually have A-levels and GCSE’s and love DJ’ing and hardcore, but im not your average chav who takes drugs and looks a bit like a wierdo, for you information i actually have a nice job at BAE Systems (British Areospace) and guess what im only 19, i support the hardcore stream and think everyone should stop being complete knobs, if you dont like the music, there is no need to comment on this at all, so F**K OFF!!

Well i am 100% hardcore and i have to agree that this is the worst one to date.
Saying that, hardcore constantly changes, and is always getting better than it is at present, even if it means it goes poo for a while, to me that is a sign that it’s just gonna get bigger and better, dont forget that it is one of the longest running dance music scenes in the world.
Trance, Breakbeat / Drum & Bass, Hardstyle & many more break away style originally spurned from hardcore in the early days.
So hardcore haters get a fucking grip please. Its here its staying and its hardcore!!

I tried hard core once. Broke my front teeth. I’m going back to regular apples.
Oh, and if hardcore is staying, then I’ll just change the channel. If I wanted to go deaf I’d listen to that bloody “Moooooooooooon piiiiiiiiiiiiiig” advert on a loop.

Grow a set you bunch of dicks, you can likem what music you want, your probably in to all that music that we think is complete shit, we probably call it “grom” music or something like that, yeah i admit that music is shit, but who cares what music people listen to, if everyone listened to the same music then the world would be full of the same shit, and that would be bollacks, so grow up your bunch of dicks, and this site is actually quite lame :L who the fuck rates adverts, who gives a flying fuck :L

I do actually love hardcore – but I have to tell you, its a damn embarassment to be sharing that passion with half the chavs in britain

Hmm, I’m not sure what to say really, haters, lovers, whatever. Silly Silky here seems to be a ‘hater’ so theres no point in really ear bashing this tosser, cause he’ll just come with an anti-hardcore comment. This CD was probably one of the best hardcore cd’s I’ve listened to, and to be honest I love ALL genres of music, hardcore just happens to be a great genre to listen to on a night out I feel. Who gives a toss if the advert is shit, it doesn’t change the fact that the music is brilliant to listen to. I feel it just makes you want to dance. It just so happens that it’s not only dirty chavs/trevs that listen to this you wanker, and if it was, europe’s ravers would be full of illeterate twats. Do some fucking research before you start cussing down a type of music, and grow up a little bit. This CD makes me & my mates happy and in a dancy feeling, and thats what music should do, so if you don’t like it, don’t bloody cuss it down, just leave it be and listen to what makes you feel good

Oh, so THAT’S where we’ve all been going wrong for the last 6 months that this pathetic tirade has been taking place.
I’m a fucking hardcore fanatic and I STILL think the scene’s full to the brim of “chav” wankers (I flinch at my own use of the word “chav” as it’s ultimately nothing but another indefinable label).

Again….
Why do you need to be a chav to listen to it? im not a chav? and im certainly not a drug addict
I think the music is great and the way its remixed is unbelieveable, i have a degree in music and design and all i can say is a hope its hardcore forever!

“Its not even proper hardcore, its just pop dance with a faster harder beat.” – Thats what the clubland xtreme compilation is all about, its for the people who like pop dance but with a slightly faster harder beat, if you want hardcore buy a proper hardcore album :S
Elliot
“I honestly don’t see what makes this advert so bad.” – Maybe the fact that its the only hardcore album you will ever need, kinda screwed that one up didn’t they.
Dave
“It isn’t Hardcore anymore……. It’s Pop-Trance sped up and it’s cringe-worthy.” – Its not supposed to be, like i said before its aimed at people who like commercial music but with a faster, harder beat.
Another Ad Hater
“Riiiiiight… a sped up version of “I Kissed A Girl” is hardcore, how?” – Talk about tone-deaf, its clearly not just sped up, that would be classed as copyright i believe.

What a website full of complete muppets. The site is called “TVs Worst Adverts” yet an argument about music genres has come up? For the record, I love hardcore, and I’m quite sure that anyone that has ever been to a hardcore event loves it, it’s hard not to. It’s all about fun, having a good time and boppin’ around with your mates, if your allergic to fun then don’t listen to it? And what has drugs got to do with anything? You go to a dance festival, you get people on drugs, you go to a rock festival, beleive it or not .. you get people on drugs. Drugs are bigger than just hardcore, do your research.

Don’t judge just because you don’t like the music. All the people who don’t like Hardcore and continue to criticize the people who do like it need to have their priorities right. First of all, don’t come to assumptions because I GUARANTEE YOU ARE WRONG.

Not all of us are drug addicts. Just because we like repetative music, flashing lights and stuff like that doesnt make us scum. I have my own family and support the scene as much as possible. Im not saying that this ad is the best ad ever, because it definatly is not, however, why some of you people continue to slag us hardcore people off is beyond me. Hardcore is a passion for people like me, and its all about the music… always has been, and always will be.
Just remember, before you start to slag us all off, we are people too. However, in all fairness, most of us ravers really dont give a rats ass what you think of us. We are one family under the lasers, just leave us be and let us all enjoy ourselves.
