gabber is slang for friend/buddy/mate but it is also how this type of house music is called.

[@Pasunsoprano]

Mokum is the Hebrew/jiddish word for Amsterdam, it just means place. Amsterdammers call their city Mokum.

This was for me already the end of the good old days (Multigroove Elementenstraat). Happy hardcore really was the end of an era. And it is probably a good thing Dano didn't get any royalties since he probably would not be living now.

[@laziojohnny79]

Not sure this track in particular did change the scene, but it sure contributed to it. But they ignore Paul Elstak's and Charlie Lownoise and Mental Theo's share on that change. The track on the end tho (Chosen Few's 'Name Of My DJ') indeed is one of the best hardcore tracks in history, if not THE best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6XPoH6sm8h5iMU

haha this reminds me of my younger years🙃😂

[@MJatPL]

Good vid dude, again. I've lived through, and thoroughly enjoyed, this period of house music, and even though I've seen it happen. I'm again sad to see mainstream media effectively kill the entertainment of a certain group of like-minded people only to make money. Like they do every time something cool grows, gets attention, and is eventually picked up by the MSM and turned into something marketable. Seriously, the world would be better off without money-grubbing media magnates/institutions. Fook MSM, really fook 'em all. Who was that stand-up comedian that said kill all marketeers again? The more I learn the more I agree with the dude.

most hardcore track that mentioned a drug became a hit. also, records where the word fuck was said.

[@black4pienus]

I remember 'dancing' to the original track before Mokum made their version. The real gabbers were kinda anti commercial happy hardcore. Our music was supposed to dark, loud and aggressive. Something that scares your parents while you blast it in your bedroom. For some reason, this version was somewhere between accepted and being barfed out by the 'real gabbers'. You weren't a real gabber if this was your favorite track and version. Yeah, gabber etiquettes... lol!

[@dawatcherz]

they're right, that happy-hardcore stuff ruined the scene

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

I can a sure you that even my parents know this song. That didn't mean they liked it. But every heard it on the radio. Haha. But this song made hardcore also famous on the radiostations. 😜👊👍

'Gabber' is a music style and a lifestyle. Not a person 😄

In a way gabber is the opposite of hippy , but even after the millenium gabber went underground . new genres developed, that kinda blend the oppositeds together like tekno and psytrane its alot of fun. love youre reactions

It's funny that you use the word 'viral'. The internet did not excist in those days early nineties... :) This was all word to mouth. And this Dutch scene and music became HUGE international in Europe. Again: pre internet, the word 'viral' had a different meaning back then :)

[@dimrrider9133]

I was there from the beginning, but as a native of Breda, fortunately on the side of Rotterdam hardcore because you're not quite good to go and whine songs by DJ Paul (a colleague). I hated that happy hardcore then, but I accepted it and the real hardcore still existed. And as you can see 30 years later we can still bounce on DJ Paul and you won't hear anything from DJ Dano

Mokum released some true gabber classics but also some commercial absolute garbage. My favorite release of them is probably Despairful Tomorrow - And Hell Followed

[@Iflie]

I found the gabber mania very annoying but I liked that song too. The reality of being a teen in the '90 was that all the boys started wearing ugly tracksuits, giant nikes, shaved themselves bald and flirted with racism. Normally you could wear anything you wanted in school but they did end up banning the bomber jackets with orange insides and dutch flags on the sleeve because they were starting trouble with the non white groups. Though being a gabber isn't about racism, they looked very close to the neo nazis and there was certainly some overlap in groups. But I say "flirted with" versus actually being neo nazis because these were the boys in my class and I'm not white and never had any issues with them. It seemed to a certain attitude that came with the clothes and sentiment of the crowd and when they outgrew being a gabber they also let go of those views. At the time being racist was really uncool but it became more acceptable among teens until they started wearing hitler party shirts. Teens today are still more comfortable with racism in certain areas than we were before. That's a bit like a pendulum, teens wanting to be outrageous. First racism is really uncool, then it becomes naughty so they love it, kids.

[@Iflie]

@jupiter7627 I was actually there, there totally was racist subset gabber culture when they wore the dutch flag symbols. They may not have started out that way but they certainly ended up with it. That's why they got banned when nothing else was. Same with the heil hitler arms and NSDAP shirts a few years later. Just because gabbers say they welcomed everyone, not all fans of the style did at all. Though like I said, they had no issues with me, more with the turks and marrocan kids.
