The crazy world of 1990s Hardcore and Techno underground culture (A deep exploration video feature)


The 90s were strange and bizarre, and one of its strangest parts was the Hardcore, Techno and Gabber subculture.
It's still largely and invisible to the mainstream. So here we are taking a deep and scrutinizing look at it.
The focus is, of course, not on the more known "Gabber hits and facts" of the decade but the true blue deep dark underground stuff.
Maybe even some hardened "Gabber elders" might learn one or two tricks here?

The video is segmented into several "shorts" about a specific topic.
To make things more interesting, it's not a dry documentary, but a very media-mix of sound bites, clips, texts...

Well, off you go!

The whole thing is brought to you by The Hardcore Overdogs, "E-Zine for great and / or underrated Hardcore Techno past and present!"

(I.e. by us)

Note: for some of the clips, we used a variety of sources. And we lost, erm, a bit track of them.
So if an excerpt of one of your own clips is in here, and you want to be credited, or have the clip removed, please reach out to us!
