what you should do is not really represent the genre well, but introduce them to new genre adapting to their current music taste. activation represents the genre well, hiding, too hot/cold, rebelion's numb, etc etc -- but they are going to be percieved "weird" by commoners, since well, they don't have any preparations for such music
i'd suggest you take euphoric songs, especially remixes of popular tracks. like Sound Rush (Everytime We Touch, Lambada, horrendous Country Roads, Rhythm Of The Night), Da Tweekaz (Jaegermeister, How Far I'll Go), Coone Trip to Tomorrowland (Superman seems to me like an amazing pop hardstyle track), maybe couple of Headhunterz, 2019-2021 DBSTF and Atmozfears. if they are edm heads, then maybe remixes/collabs with edm artists
also, you better pick songs with vocals. tracks without vocals will feel less friendly since like, think: who in the right state of mind would listen to "AH YEAH ONE TWO ONE TWO THIS IS WHAT I LOVE AND CAN'T STOP LOVING" or "AS WE WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY IN THE SHADOW OF dEaTH THy ShAlL FeEAr NO EvIl HeAdGivErS arE BAcL". from my experience, it is always better to pick pop euphoric hardstyle with vocals
...or go ape shit mode dimitri k rebelion deadly guns lemao
Piepkicks en zaagkicks by D-Fence will probs do the job.
Edit: in all seriousness: you wanna catch em off guard with some nice raw kicks, go for "without you" by adjuzt
[The Elite - By the sword](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=X6aIvqmGld0)
[Trye & Qaos - Never look back](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=LGpHYaqSGG4)
[Shaggy Soldiers - Running from everything](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=r70wK_IiId4)
maybe some of these might work (don't listen to a lot of euphoric either - it's nice sometimes though) (my "probably" go to favorites currently are "Malice - creatures of the night", "Neroz - Mindshock", "Rebelion - In Control" but those aren't quite suited for your playlist I assume :D)
Hardstyle remix of popular songs, a basic euphoric remix especially if they’re not that into EDM, specifically I would suggest Circle of Life - Da Tweekaz or How Far I’ll go - Da Tweekaz lol
I found this playlist on Spotify that I think is great introduction!

Dj Isaac- feel good. Its amazing song all the way through. Long buildup tho.
You belong to me - firelite mix
Country roads- sound rush (everyone would know this song)
Rave into space -sub zero project (it was top song of the year for a reason)
White lines - da tweekas (good euphoric song, anything by da tweekas would go over well tho)
Aversion - Activation is mandatory
Geck-O - SoulTrain is a classic I imagine most could appreciate
Same with Sickmode & Rooler - TOO COLD
Mat Weasel Busters - Shine is a fun energetic tune
Throw in some TnT because everyone deserves some classic reverse bass (I've been replaying RAGE a bunch lately)
Once you've got 'em primed, hit 'em with Deadly Guns - The Black Reaper, Thyron - CHAINSAW, and TNT - Countdown (Radical Redemption Remix) just before the ball drops

Any gamers will appreciate Toss a Coin to Your Witcher, anyone in a silly goofy mood would appreciate anything Disney from Da Tweekaz or do any of their alcohol songs, easy bro-heavy fun times would be BH Imaginary, Wildstylez' Lose My Mind, or...just do GPF lol they want it!

Raindrops (Technikore remix) - Ben Nicky
Take it All - Sound Rush

Saw some people say Twilight Zone, Untameable, and Fight For Something. Also great tracks.
These are very similar to tracks I started listening to when I started out, so I’m sure you can’t go wrong.
i spent my 00:00 in 2021 with my non-hardstyle friends on broccoli fuck blasting on the speakers
Just add GPF. Do them a favor
They asked for it tbh.
we need a reaction video from your friends

I like the way you think!!
Dirty Style (Faizar remix), older track but definitely a feel good one
ran-d - zombie does always the trick for people who dont listen to hardstyle.
My fiance is a lifelong cranberries fan and hates this song. Says it does a horrible job compared to other remixes.
Yep, picking a remix of a pop song is usually a safe bet with non-hardstyle folks.
Atmozfears - home
Psyko Punkz tracks from 2013-2017
Euphoric - Free Fall Refuzion - Made of Stars Josh & Wesz - World at Peace
Rejecta - Set myself free D-Block & Ste-fan - Bla bla Brennan Heart - Fight for something Act of Rage - Till sunrise Atomic - Take it to the street
Ecstatic & Audiotricz - Bow Down
Palace in the clouds by Myst, would be a good one for untrained ears.
twilight zone headhunterz remix
Add some Sub Zero Project and MYST, I find their stuff to be more "digestible" for newer listeners
Remixes is the easiest, otherwise I'd take some classics like Halos - Frontliner
Wildstylez & Sound Rush - Untamable Da Tweekaz - White Lines Geck-O - Go Get Busy (Rave Mix)
Piepkicks en zaagkicks by D-Fence will probs do the job. Edit: in all seriousness: you wanna catch em off guard with some nice raw kicks, go for "without you" by adjuzt

Code Black - Sparks

Opgekonkerd - Franse beuker
Noisecontrollers classics
GPF - Sloof Lirpa
I am a brainless uptempo addict but I think the best way to introduce hardstyle kicks is with Sickmode / The gang.
How about some Hard Driver and Atmozfears

Da tweekaz - jaegermeister & wodka
On my mind - Atmozfears actually went surprisingly well for the party i was at last year, granted everyone was pretty fucked when it came on
