This and the comment above yours.
People who liked cheesy pop music in the 90's like spice girls, even further back to Tina turner and so on sent through the notions liking Westlife, Gareth gates, Bieber, all saints and then little mix etc.
Of course that's not word for word, someone might have jumped on the pop bandwagon at Gareth gates or later with little mix. Different artists though carrying on that scene in 1 way or another.
With core it was the few big names who took it all on, carried it on and whatever path they took it down you either went with it or left, while they carry on doing what they want for money or personal taste at that time.
Hixxy is one I've always liked but he should just do one these days. Produces nothing and seems to do nothing for the scene apart from fill his pockets playing sets which brings crowds based on his past career. How can someone who doesn't expand the scene with making music be able to make so much from what's left of it?

Personally I drifted away from listening to new UK hardcore around 2007 when Resist Music went out of business and Canadian record stores stopped selling hardcore compilations. At one point I decided to listen to new stuff again and most new stuff sounded like nightcore. Later in 2011 I checked new UK hardcore tracks again and now it sounded like sped up trance with electro kickdrums (with a near total lack of stomp), so I pretty much gave up on UK hardcore other than producing my own.
Now since 2020 I started listening to hardcore again but this time around I'm more into gabber and frenchcore, plus I've been checking the local Quebec scene more as well (which is more into the harder styles of hardcore music). Sadly our local scene is minuscule, so each year we get about one or two events in my city and about three in Montreal where at least one UK hardcore set gets played.
