@Speelgoedmannetje:
I was never "dressing" like a gabber-head past the age of...17 I think. Afterwards, I was more normal looking, but of course still to this day I listen to gabber and hardcore techno. I like it due to its simplicity, yet power and energy. It's definitely not mainstream music by ANY means, except maybe in Holland, as you guys over there are hardcore pioneers. :-)
