Waar sommige rave en house nog zweverig of funky klonken, ging Rotterdam Hardcore veel meer richting beton, havenlucht, trainingspak en kapotte speakers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"1096\">Een centrale naam in deze geschiedenis is <a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/rotterdam-records\/\"><a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/rotterdam-records\/\">@Rotterdam Records<\/a><\/a>, opgericht in 1992 door <a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/paul-elstak\/\"><a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/paul-elstak\/\">@Paul Elstak<\/a><\/a>. Discogs omschrijft Rotterdam Records als het eerste Nederlandse hardcore\/gabber-label.  Ook de bredere gabbercultuur groeide in de jaren 90 uit tot een grote Nederlandse jeugdcultuur, met events zoals <a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/thunderdome\/\"><a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/thunderdome\/\">@Thunderdome<\/a><\/a>, dat vanaf 1992 een enorme rol speelde in de verspreiding van hardcore en gabber.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1435\">Rotterdam Hardcore is geen volledig los genre naast gabber, maar eerder een duidelijke stroming, mentaliteit en herkomst binnen <a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/hardcore\/\"><a class=\"hcmgp-mention hcmgp-mention-hcmgp_article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcoremaniacs.be\/press\/gabberpedia\/artikel\/hardcore\/\">@Hardcore<\/a><\/a>.
