Nu gabber is a high-energy electronic music genre characterized by its fast-paced, often chaotic rhythms (typically between 160-200 BPM), aggressive synthesizer leads, and distorted, pulsing basslines. Emerging in the mid-2010s, nu gabber drew inspiration from the early 1990s gabber scene, while incorporating elements of hardcore techno, industrial, and noise music. This genre thrives on its raw intensity and DIY ethos, often featuring screamed or shouted vocals and abrasive sound design. Nu gabber's cultural significance lies in its rejection of mainstream electronic music's polished production values, embracing instead a lo-fi, punk-infused aesthetic that resonates with fans seeking a more extreme sonic experience.
