oh man, I remember this when it happenned on the happycore mailing list, the three main pillars of that community were Muppetfucker (good ol’ boy from Texas, goes as Noaphex now), Entropy (from Boston, bisupremacist, kind of a ponce), and this one redneck from like central Pennsylvania who was always going on about Beast Ice

I remember when the sound was changing around the turn of the millenium or so and there was argument over whether to call it trancecore or freeform or something else so Muppetfucker just started calling it Kenneth
