You know when you listen to a tune and there's a great build up with a lovely sounding riff and you're just waiting for it to drop with all these great elements coming together?
Well just imagine when that drop comes, all you get is a beat and some squelchy/fart noises! That's my description.

some tracks use this also to get into an electro/dubstep stage, which sounds horrible aswell

While we're on the subject, what exactly is 'cheesy' hardcore? After looking around for over a year, I'm still not too sure.

Just search for "Happy Hardcore" (especially from the 90s). Cheesy, lovely vocals combined with the Hardcore/Rave sound, pace and energy.

Ah, so it means bright, love-y vocals, etc
Thanks

Nah. Minimal drops are good if they're put in well. Which is not quite often in Hardcore, especially with Squad-E. However, melody can show up after the minimal part.
