Benco - Gabber Died Twelve Years Ago

Before we get down to todays MP3: I got a decent Last.fm page! I uploaded my 2006 Demo so maybe it will stream on Last.fm radio stations?

Today's song is a short little number that (once again) expresses my disinterest with the club scene. This seems to be a common theme lyrically. Gabber Died Twelve Years Ago follows the narrator as he realizes that he's been going to all these parties all these years trying to relive a feeling he once had and that every party is just people and that it doesn't matter if it's different music, different faces or different drugs. They're all just people at parties and it's going to be the same.

Gabber is a type techno music with a distorted kick and really high tempos. It's essentially the punk rock of techno. Gabber hit it's peak in the mid 1990's before falling (even further?) into the underground, thus 'Gabber Died Twelve Years Ago.' The song also references Kandy, those colorful beaded bracelets ravers used to run around wearing. This song is not Gabber.

THAT WAS A LONG POST! Here's the MP3:

Benco - Gabber Died Twelve Years Ago

Gabber died twelve years ago
your stupid kandy has got to go
and Gabber died twelve years ago
and techno music has gotten so old

The rave scene died years ago
your music collection has got to go
The rave scene died years ago
and you'll die before it's retro

you went to desert raves
with kandy kids
and did the drugs
that the law forbids

Now you're at
a warehouse party
hearing punk rock and
drinking bacardi

but is it really
all that different?
sitting around while
your friends get fucked up

but is it really
all that different?
'cause your new friends are
really fucked up
