Ex-fuckin-scuse me E-xist. I haven't got a musical listening ear? Sorry, I've been playing guitar since I was about 14 years old. In addition, my major is audio production so I damned well better have a musical ear or else I'm going to go broke once I graduate college. Also consider the fact that I spin mainly trance, and I usually keep my hard house down at 140-145 bpm.
The fact that Fergie is so well liked proves that many many many people are into higher bpm music. Personally, I like the fucked up hoover and other sounds in hard house. Shit, Yomanda is one of my favorite artists, and most of his shit is around 138 bpm.
Finally, please please please don't generalize people into one fucked up group based on musical preference. That is utter bullshit. I personally despise hardcore, be it happy or not, but I sure as hell don't crucify others for liking it.
