I play rhythm games a lot and accidentally developed a taste for hardcore/speedcore music, which is probably uncommon. So this is something I’m quite curious
I think my cutoff for considering something fast is like between 200-220 BPM. For example, xi - FREEDOM DiVE has a BPM of 222.22, which… apparently I only consider as “fast”. Too fast is like 300 BPM for me
If you’re into fast music you might find certain subgenres of metal are up your alley.
I can tremolo pick 16th notes at about 240bpm on guitar before the wheels start to fall off, so to speak. I’d consider anything over 225 to be fast. Anything crossing 16th notes at 300bpm should just be considered 32nd notes at 150bpm+ IMO. The bars fly by too fast to matter anymore if not.
Honestly I don’t really jive with anything over 300bpm because I feel it loses all sense of groove or vibe-able rhythm. Its fine for little bursts here and there but a whole song at 300+ tends to bore me pretty quick.
I’m a total Speed Queen I love high BPM songs in rhythm games. I agree with your take, I consider anything from 200-250BPM a fast song. 300 BPM is insane speed, I played Yaminabe!!! on Project Sekai ages ago and it briefly reaches that speed at the end and I struggled with that. I have no idea how people play the expert and master chart of that song.
140+ - 150+ bpm is fast to me as someone who likes to make music
I think for straight 4/4 (so not felt in half time) 140 and above is definitely fast, considering the vast majority of music falls in the 110-130BPM range.
Depends on the meter.
Anything over 33 BPM is too fast for me. At that point, it becomes music instead of noise!

Acid King is touring this winter.
I agree with 220 gabber / hardstyle type stuff being my upper limit, beyond that I think it is just getting a bit too fast and messy.
Even saying that I have to be in the right mood for that speed, the right mood usually being rolling my tits off somewhere.
DnB is the sweet spot for more everyday, listenable speed being more in the upper 180s usually IMO.
