📷 EDM / DANCE: HARDCORE (TECHNO)

🎙 In 1998 Gabber went on the decline due to much negative publicity. Gabber starts to reject anything to further widen the gap with what they call “mellow”: all other, softer type of music and its corresponding subcultures. Appeal from hooligans, fascist subcultures, a steep decline in female followers, and ever increasing, heavy amphetamine and MDMA use killed the genre that was ironically named after friendship.Despite all odds, a new wave of Gabber producers resurrected their favorite genre, while learning from the past. In 2002 the first Nu Style Gabber records appear, which are more technical and complex due to more professional hardware and software. Influenced by the recent and popular Hardstyle, a slight touch of melody and vocals is added, while also lowering the average tempo. All these elements make Nu Style more accessible to the average listener than early Gabber. By perfecting the fastest and hardest Dance genre, Old Style and Nu Style combined became so large and prominent within the super-genre of Hardcore, that the term Hardcore is almost synonymous with Gabber. Therefore Nu Style is also dubbed Mainstream Hardcore. It even reached Japan, where the genre became quite popular and known as J-Core (obviously very noisy, but also more melodic). Often Nu Style incorporates flangers as the main synth melody, which give it that harsh, berserk Rave feeling, washing over the crowd, feeding the brain, and preparing the body…to destroy everything.
