The youth culture of gabbers has been the most remarkable Dutch youth culture of the past decade. It has been subjected to many years of negative stereotyping in the media. In this article, a study is presented among 1,147 Dutch adolescents, comparing gabbers to their "normal" peers. The results show that gabbers clearly differ in their taste for music and clothes but differ less than expected in their ideas about a normal way of life, foreigners, enjoying life, and drugs.
