GPF

GPF (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz) is a British-based uptempo hardcore project that emerged in 2017, quickly becoming the most polarizing and recognizable act in the harder styles of dance music. Their sound identity is defined by extremely high BPMs (often exceeding 200), 'piezo' kicks - a specific, high-frequency distorted kick drum sound - and a heavy reliance on satirical, often crude, sampling.

The project functions as a deconstruction of hardcore tropes, using humor and shock value to challenge the genre's often hyper-masculine and serious conventions. Culturally, they occupy a space similar to 'shitposting' in internet culture, where the music is both a genuine technical achievement and a massive inside joke. Critical consensus is sharply divided: some view them as a destructive force that mocks the genre, while others credit them with revitalizing a stagnant scene through pure, unadulterated fun. Their influence is visible in the 'piezo' kick trend that has since permeated mainstream uptempo and hardstyle.
