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 suspect this is one for [livejournal.com profile] atommickbrane really, but I think it means indie, but the indie we secretly love (whilst at the same time rubbishing all other rubbish indie) - and also a state of loving the indie we secretly love i.e. it's (self) descriptive of a person as much as a record. Any implied perjorative is therefore usually affectionate or in jest.

Also, I've seen it more usually applied to indie pop (esp. twee) than indie rock.
