I wholly agree with this. I went off hardcore a lot cos I get sick of the UK scene and the direction raves were taking. Far too many Adidas manbags and crackheads were going. The scene just ended up feeling like a speed up Scouse house/bounce scene. So I just stopped going to raves. The standard MC's like MC storm and that just waffling over everything. All the mid 50 year olds taking speed in their race gear looking a atate. God.. it was awful.
Fast forward now, I feel the hardstyle scene really are giving it a new lease of life, Tweekacore are doing some great things for the scene, Darren Styles has brought in some more hardstyle pioneers doing tracks with them. The Electric Fox label have released some great stuff.
OneSeventy have been releasing some really top notch productions too, it feels like the scene if finally starting to catch up to modern times and I hope if gets more exposure, even Steve aoki has dipped his toes in and I'm liking the fact that it doesn't feel like some dirty secret that people like it anymore. I see hope. Especially if Q Dance get more involded.
This set is a great example

Both of those labels hardly offer tracks at 170 bpm+. Most tracks are in the 160s, so it's not like you can play them in a higher BPM set, and I don't think slowing down the genre is a step to go towards.
