Bosh Jams On A Fast Break

The question is what is the genre.

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.

Not sure if my pun on Jock Jams was clear, but Jock Bosh is also a possible permutation of the phrase. I figure most of the Scooter stuff qualifies as Eurotacky covers, but as carsmilesteve says, there's a certain stadium/anthem element to it that isn't a prerequisite of what usually gets called bosh at poptimists.

But there's definitely something "throw-your-fist-in-the-air pop" about lots that gets called bosh. In the sense of Slade being throw-your-fist-in-the-air rock, some bosh is throw-your-fist-in-the-air pop.
