“There are a few documentaries about the upcoming of house music (Pre EDM) in the Netherlands. Itu0026#39;s quite amazing to see that so many Dutch dju0026#39;s are currently playing the worldu0026#39;s stage. This is Leading back to the first and only sub-culture founded in the Netherlands a decade ago: hardcore techno, or gabber as you wish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary u0026quot;Thunderdome never diesu0026quot; follows the story of the people behind the rise of a cult-status event: the Thunderdome raves. As a few young guys in 1992, only in their twenties starting organising parties, the scene grew and became more and more massive over time. Tens of thousands of ravers joined together in these eardrum pounding raves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd it all stopped.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut being a subculture, Thunderdome lived on in the hearts and minds of its fans. Which (with the risk of writing a understatement) are in love with the brand, the scene and everything that comes with it. Even today people get the Thunderdome insignia tatoed to their bodies. No wonder the latest event hosting a massive 50.000 (!) bold headed ravers was sold out within a few hours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo what is Thunderdome you say? Itu0026#39;s the techno version of Punk: itu0026#39;s a cult, its endless dancing, and most of all itu0026#39;s not giving a **** about what everybody says.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd thatu0026#39;s exactly what bonds all those gabbers together.”
