Question for the Dutchbros...is the hardcore "gabber" scene in Holland political at all? If so do most of the gabbers tend to be right wing?
Question for the Dutchbros...is the hardcore "gabber" scene in Holland political at all...
I've been to events over there and talked to some of them but politics never came up.
Gabber is dead and even at the height of the craze they were infighting over who was a real "gabber"
Gabber means friend btw
and no, they are too retarded to be political
THats because they were too busy using X on my fucking tax money
I understand the gabber scene isn't what it used to be but the big hardcore festivals are mostly sold out so who goes to them now? When I go I see fascist tattoos sometimes
EDM is huge here, mainly because it's more pallatable now and there's huge dough in it.
Also, the use of GHB is INSANE right now, contributing to this degeneracy
Yeah dude you're completely right about the EDM, my point is that Dominator, Masters of Hardcore are sold out every year...there's still a big hardcore following and its getting bigger it seems like anyway. I'll wager at least a fair chunk are Geert Wilders supporters but again I'm not sure
And I'll tell you why I'm asking. I know the Dutch look down the gabber/hardcore scene as being white trash or whatever but holy fuck as a youth movement if has potential to be something huge in the USA that would steer yanks away from other crap in the mainstream
Right wing and Hardcore fan reporting in :^)
I think the mainstream opinion is guilty pleasure/nostalgia. There are still all those proud to be fout(wrong/tacky) party's with gabber music
But i don't think the gabber scene was political, it's a bunch of people, and sometimes a few colored on E dancing to music
