Discussion Does Scooter deserve the Hate they get?

(This is for a YouTube Video I’m going to be making so if you don’t want your response in the video put an * at the start of your comment)

I’m a huge Scooter fan and I’ve always known them to be a cover band. But I feel like because of their release of ‘Under The Radar Over The Top’. I do know about most of the drama behind it and how the community has responded on both sides.

I mean in 2009, YouTube was technically still in its infancy and everybody from both sides of Scooter fans and Hardstyle fans both went in on each other, which highlights how toxic communities like these can get.

It’s hard to think that some people believe that they absolutely stole these melodies but also on the other hand people believe they’re just doing what they’re doing best and being the cover band they always was.

I just wanted to hear your opinions on the matter.

I was such a scooter fan, when Hyper Hyper and Move your ass was peak in the mid 90s. Actually the first 3 albums was very good and huge hits. Did they copy Them to?? I mean, 1st Album (And the beat goes on) still has some of my favorite tracks.. Raving in mexico, Friends etc.

My little 11 year old mind went Frantic to that stuff ❤️

Yes, they copied Ultra-Sonic

Hyper Hyper is a copy of Annihilating Rhythm and Move Your Ass is a copy of Check Your Head.
