Bosh Jams On A Fast Break

The question is what is the genre.

[livejournal.com profile] skyecaptain says that, while no one in Internet history has thought up an adequate generic category for whatever the hell it is that Scooter does so very well, the answer is clearly "bosh jams."

I think Scooter'd officially be called Happy Hardcore, though I'd not be the one to hold an informed opinion on the subject.

Google reveals "Toronto's Chris Bosh jams on a fast break." But it seems to me that if it's a true jam it should be a slow break, so that there can be slow bosh jams. But that doesn't seem to be the Scooter style. I suppose a slow jam can have a fast break, if they're willing to change tempo.

I like Bosh as a genre name - short, succinct and suitably descriptive in Scooter's case. But using it as a catch-all for anything with a 4/4 kickdrum over 130bpm is predictably problematic.
