Im wondering what people think of the music called Gabber (also called Hardcore). Since im from Holland im wondering what people outside Holland think of it. Do you think its totally crap or do you its ok. Give your opinions

For the ones who dont what Gabber/Hardcore is, it is some aggressive type of music that originated in 1990-1991 in Rotterdam (Holland).

Some audio examples :

Gabber music is called "hardcore" because it was originally called "hardcore techno".
But about 10 years before it, there was already another kind of music that was called hardcore too. To be more precise, hardcore punk. I bet most people here hates it, but I'm really into it. It's basically punk rock, but faster, angrier and noisier.
By the way, Holland has always been a great place for hardcore punk also, with bands like Lärm, Pandemonium, BGK, etc...

I live in Holland, and these people call eachothers Gabbers which comes from the Jewish 'chawer'which means 'friend'. They great eachother with 'mazzel' which is also Jewish and means something like 'good luck' ...not that most gabbers are racists young frustrated kids that once got beaten up by a bunch of Moroccans or gor robbed by a black ... ;D
bunch of losers if you ask me..
