Description

Gabber is an aggressive electronic music genre originating from Rotterdam in the early 1990s, characterized by distorted kick drums, extremely fast tempos (typically 150-220 BPM), and raw, industrial sounds. Born from Dutch rave culture, it became associated with hardcore techno and a rebellious working-class identity. The genre features relentless energy, pounding bass, and an intentionally abrasive aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of dance music.
