. "Gabber, gabba, (/\u02C8\u0261\u00E6b\u0259r/; from Dutch: [\u02C8x\u0251b\u0259r]), Rotterdam techno, Rotterdam hardcore or retrospectively called early hardcore, is a style of electronic music and a subgenre of hardcore.Although a house variant from Detroit reached Amsterdam in the late 1980s, it was the producers and DJs from Rotterdam in the early 90's who evolved it into a harder house variant which is today known as \"gabber\".The specific sound of Rotterdam was also created as a reaction to the house scene of Amsterdam which was seen as \"snobby and pretentious\".
