Gabber

Gabber is a subgenre of electronic dance music that originated in the Netherlands in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast and aggressive beats, typically ranging from 150 to 220 beats per minute (BPM), and its heavy use of distortion and compression effects.


Gabber often features aggressive, shouted vocals, and incorporates elements of hardcore punk, industrial music, and techno. The music is designed to create an intense and energetic atmosphere, and is often associated with underground rave culture and hardcore party scenes.


The genre's name is derived from "gabbering," a term used in Dutch slang to describe talking nonsensically or excitedly. The term was adopted by fans of the genre, who used it to describe the music's frenetic and chaotic sound.


Gabber gained popularity in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe in the early 1990s, and continues to have a dedicated following today. It has also influenced the development of other genres, such as hardstyle and hardcore techno.


Gabber music is known for its fast and aggressive beats, and as a result, it can evoke intense and energetic feelings in listeners. The frenzied and chaotic nature of the music can create a sense of excitement, adrenaline, and euphoria. The heavy use of distortion and compression effects can also create a feeling of raw power and intensity.
