Will this be the trend of 2017?

Reading all the comments from the yesterday's post make me think that many of you didn't really get the mood of my new track "2017"
I know that you are not all producers out there but with only 1 or 2 listens you would have realized that the track is not hardstyle and it's not psy either, it's a perfect blend of those 2 genres plus some little influences of dubstep, drum&bass and techno. The track can be categorized as an Hard dance one and not as another "hard-psy" or "psy-style". If I wanted that, I would have built 20-30 seconds of psytrance beat into a hardstyle or raw track. That's a mash-up (which is nice) but my intention was creating a crossover where you could clearly hear elements from both worlds where no one was highly dominating. A hardstyle dj would open a set with this track and on the contrary, a psytrance dj would close a set as well. The interesting thing would be having enough tracks for a few hours of this crossover, in such a way that we can create a new thing.
Anyway sorry for the long post, I know you would have prefer watching a pump fisting guy in front of a screen but I would not have been original.
