#Netherlands – land of windmills and tulips, but also the cradle of arguably the hardest rave scene in the world: Gabber. Fast beats, choppy dance moves, and bald heads in tracksuits are the order of the day. But what is Gabber? When are you Gabber? And what does that have to do with Joost Klein's Eurovision Song Contest song?
In the new episode of #ATLAS, you'll learn what lies behind arguably the most polarizing rave scene in the world and what neo-Nazis and excessive drug use have to do with it. Is Gabber an indispensable facet of Dutch culture or its dark shadow?
