A derivitive of a Yiddish word meaning "friend", a gabber is a person who likes hardcore
techno originating out of Rotterdam that goes by the same name. The name was coined supposedly when a club bouncer stopped someone, saying "Gabber, you can'
t come in here." Gabber can be used widely however, such as for a substitute for "dude" or "brother". Gabbers are also often mistakingly confused with
neo-Nazis because they sometimes have shaven heads and wear
black leather.
