Brescia, Florida nightclub, Master of Hardcore event. 2011 The Gabber movement, which originated in the Netherlands and subsequently spread across Europe, is an alternative underground anti-establishment culture based on hardcore music. Its stylistic connotation is through neo-Nazi skinhead inspired attire. During these raves, hardcore, hardstyle and industrial music with gruelling rhythms and powerful beats acted as the backdrop to these youths in search of an identity and a sense of belonging. Drugs were one of the main ingredients to succeed in life and to escape the conformism of the society these youths were fleeing from. Their eccentric and exaggerated outfits, with garish piercings and shaved necks - making them all resemble one another - were what made them feel like they belonged to a veritable tribe. Coaches came from all over Italy and long queues formed at the entrance, so seeing them all lined up in an orderly fashion really made them look like a real army. The nightclub had an outdoor area for the summer, with a swimming pool and what looked like a massive UFO lighting the dance floor. Half-way through the night, heavy showers surprised the Gabber ravers who carried on dancing regardless. This ritual-like reaction created a dreamlike moment expressing all the power of freedom which only a young person can have.
