### The Undeground/Club | Hardcore/Music Era

#### 1991 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 : 
>"Jump" is a new music genre in Belgium (mainly Antwerp and Lokeren), born as an alternative to Dutch "Hardcore/Gabber" scene, mixing it with another similar genre: the Spanish "Makina" and some Belgium "New-Beat" elements. The purpose is to take out the speed of hardcore and make it cooler for non-hard-dance enjoyers (note: Hakken means Chopping (slicing) as Jumpen means Jumping, in Dutch language).

### TikTok/Phantom | Yabujin/RomancePlanet | Gavrax/DayerteQ Era 

#### 2024 🇧🇷 🌎 : 
- **January**:
  - In February, Jumpstyle Brasil held a meeting at the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Ibirapuera Park, supported by the country's biggest hardstyle DJ and producer, D-Stroyer, who recorded his video Jumpstyle Never Dies with the community. The song went viral on social media and reached countries on several continents. The concept of the song, created by Mreaggle, reflects the need to fill a certain nostalgia in the Global Jumpstyle Competitive Community regarding what is known as the "Golden Era", that is, Hardstyle produced between 2007-2009, while at the same time appealing to the new generation. The following month, the country's biggest broadcaster, Rede Globo, called Mreaggle to invite the Fireborn Squad to perform Live on the Mais Você program. The video had an impact live and after the program, surpassing 1 million views on Mreaggle's TikTok channel alone, among other jumpers who posted it. A new generation of jumpers arrives in the country, hungry for evolution and novelty.
- **February**:
  - At the beginning of the year, the WJL'24 solo edition took place, and in August, the WJLTeams'24 took place, which would lead to an offensive incident between the teams from Italy (Snack Bros) and Brazil (Fireborn Squad). After an international outcry, the leaders of the teams, communities and organization reached a solution in favor of peace in the competitive dance scene and the seriousness of the WJL league. Mreaggle, together with Jumpstyle Brazil administrators, started JUN - Jumpstyle United Nations, a project that aims to bring together all the perspectives of all jumpers from all nations in favor of a greater goal: Unification and passing on all appropriate and possible knowledge to the younger generations. Several Jumpers and Artists from different generations volunteered and formed the alliance, establishing an open and global repository that can be fed by several jumpers.
- **March**:
  - Snak'e and Atomic Destination Team come together to dance at a hardstyle festival in front of the entire crowd. Lauth from Chile visits Poland together with IvaN from Argentina, and videos are shot in historical places such as the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
