      the track is a hardstyle/happy hardcore remix of a Eurodance tune that I think DJ Maarten actually translated into Dutch, but apparently its some kind of genre with some link to NL

      heeft iemand (misschien de jongens of meisjes) enige info? (mooie remix en beeld, ik kan geen comment meer op youtube schriven zonder google + aan te sluiten, en dat te doen wil ik niet)

              it is a remix of a mainstream eurodance tune that some random Dutch club Dj made a cover version of a few years ago, its the sort of thing they play on 538 in the daytime. Apparently it is a new EDM genre, the Norwegians started it ( a high school teacher encouraged his students to do these remixes) and they openly admit to being influenced by scooter. Bear in mind that even in “tolerant” European countries it isn’t so easy to put proper underground rave events any more, so all these kids have is a PC and home sound system and research chemicals and a lot of them seem to not even go out much other than to school or work, its hardly surprising that this sort of thing happens..I feel sorry for today’s generation TBH..

                I think the vocals are saying …

                “DERP DERP DERP DE DERP DERP DERP”

                  that is part of it, it starts off

                  stamp op de grond
                  jump jump jump jump (pronounced more like “jomp”)
                  draai maar in het rond
                  spring maar in het rond

                  then indeed the “derp derp derp” before

                  spring maar in het rond

                  those Dutch lyrics are also part of a childrens song for playground games…

                  the rest of it I can understand but am not 100% sure of the exact lyrics, though its near enough a direct translation of the English version. TBH his other track “Hoogtevrees” (parody of Lady Gaga, poker face) is better(though you need to know some Dutch to get the joke)

                        It also sounds like these kids are trying to recreate the 90s because of their teachers and maybe even their parents telling them “how good it was” back then, and to be fair if I were a parent or teacher in one of these North European countries I’d prefer them to be making this music than constantly playing violent computer games, bullying people online or getting into writing malware for scams…

                          PS: This is the original Dutch cover, and Daftfader is right about the “derp derp derp” in the lyrics. The train station is in the North of Holland, in a place which is a bit like Lowestoft but with better trains.

                              its like the whole of them are stuck in some timewarp 20 years ago (although DJ Maarten might be the only one old enough to remember that era). His music is popular with some Dutch teenagers (probably those below legal drinking age and who do not live in the bigger cities – bear in mind much of NL is rural and many families are still a bit religious to the point that staying up late and listening to that is classed as being a bit rebellious!

                              I can understand how and why nightcore came about but it seems to be a bit of a pity these youngsters aren’t making their own tracks as they clearly have some audio production skills…

                                And, there are SO MUCH nightcore channels and songs (>75% are bad tho) on youtube so don’t judge just by one song.

                                    In 2002, Norwegian student Thomas S. Nilse (aka DJ TNT) and Steffen Ojala Søderholm (aka DJ SOS), both were born in 1986 in north of Norway,[1] started off the first track for a school project.[1][2][3][5][6] After being told by the teacher they will score 4+ for one song, they eventually made their first CD Energized which consisted of 13 tracks using the software Dance eJay 3 and they scored 6 for the project.[6]

                                    Thomas S. Nilse and Steffen Ojala Søderholm used the duo name Nightcore, “Nightcore means that we are the core of the night, so you’ll dance all night long”.[5] After their first CD released in 2002, Nightcore using more advanced software, released four more albums[5] including Summer Edition 2002 (top left), L’hiver (top right), Caliente (bottom left) and Sensaciòn (bottom right). The CDs were given to local DJs and whoever interested.[3]

                                    Many fansites also mention the names of the two Norwegian lads (who would by now be nearly 30s) but not the high school project (perhaps they though it “uncool?”); I have wrongly made a non-PC assumption about the gender of the teacher, who could equally have been female.

                                    I was a teenager once (though it was a long time ago!) in 1988/1989 when I was 16/17 (and also going through some bad mental health issues due to exam pressure), a young woman who was then the music teacher in my high school actively encouraged me to experiment with tape loops and some ancient analogue synthesiser to make acid house type sounds in free periods at sixth form (and I was not even studying music as A level subjects). They did not have computer based sequencers, those were not affordable to a high school music department in England.

                                    She was trying to convince my parents to let me go on the then new sound engineering courses, but I would not have been able to get an education grant for them and they were in London 40km away and not many employers would give you a job, and my late father (who was a Malaysian Chinese) did not think there was any long term career future in arts/music compared to sciences.

                                    Also In some ways I was trying to do stuff which “hadn’t yet properly been invented!”

                                    In the end I still ended up having to go to University in London to study computers and electronic engineering (without any creative/multimedia element) and dropped out after two years. Were it not for the rave scene especially the more euphoric genres like happy hardcore I doubt I would have survived the 1990s.

                                    I notice you are from Hong Kong, maybe Asian parents are marginally less strict and pushy nowadays but I don’t think they have changed all that much…

                                    I also grew up during the first heyday of “Europop” and when the pop music and dance scenes first crossed over and have heard far worse “cheese” than that, and used to DJ happy hardcore. If I thought it was a particularly bad idea, I wouldn’t have linked the Dutch lads youtube to here.

                                    I was genuinely curious about how this particular genre originated but I think I have worked it out now, there’s nothing bad about it, its simply a lot of younger people worldwide making the best of what resources they can get.

                                    there is a common factor that the producers are in countries where young people are of high intelligence, have easy access to computers and a certain amount of tolerance from parents to “playing computer games with noisy soundtracks” but less for “going to nightclubs and taking drugs” – as parents would be about my age and might not want their kids to repeat “mistakes” they made in their youth 😉

                                    BTW if you have access to Soundcloud and also like hardcore and faster trance you might like this dudes music
