Abstract

In light of a night devoted to gabber and hardcore at CTM 2018, scholar and former electronic music producer Hillegonda C. Rietveld reflects on a genre that evolved in her home city Rotterdam, The Netherlands, spread throughout the world in the 1990s, and is now experiencing a rebirth via millennial-generation parties seeking to re-infuse the music scene with a spirit of anti-elitism and the aesthetics of horror.
