Makina/Geordie Chavs - what's it all about??

[JohnM]

I came across a website about Charvas - basically Geordie Chavs - and they are all into Makina which from I can gather is Spannish techno/hardcore.. how the f*ck did that happen??? Anyone know anything about it?

(all the similar sorts round here tend to be into happy hardcore until about 17 then they get sophisticated and get into bassline house/speed garage - or Niche Tooooons as it sadly called round south yorks - after a particularly dodgy club called niche that specialised in this sort of tune & general bad bwoy image... )

i've sinced googled it & become even more intrigued - seems even happy hardcore fans look down on it as being too cheesy...

Makina is Spanish hardcore basically, "makina" meaning machine or something. It's very popular in the north east, and is cheesier than even UK hardcore.

That's about all there is to it really!
