Some are definitely cross over. I consider 'classic' aka 'nustyle' as tracks with almost only triplet rhythm and distorted pitching bass/kicks in the climax.
Some of these tracks have triplets, but with gated kicks, which is awesome and way better imo
For me these tracks are already meh, but there were definitely other tracks which i still liked back then, especially stuff from Builder like Hardbeat Market, Her Voice, Zhangar (builder remix)
But I was (and still am) always more a reverse bass guy
Early Hardstyle/Core/Trance
