The 1990s Era Techno Hard Core (Instead of an Iceberg Meme!)

Do you know "the [x] iceberg" meme? well, here is one for 1990s hardcore techno!
according to "know your meme":

"Iceberg Tiers[...] are usually images of an iceberg, captioned [...] so as to convey that the tip of the iceberg is the summation of the knowledge of most people, while the much larger submerged part of the iceberg is the sum of all knowledge of a particular topic."

But instead of an Iceberg, we have chosen a template that is more fitting for our sujet: planet earth's (hard) core!

This is version 0.666 - so it's not quite finished yet!

(Oh, and artists are not included.)
