Gabber has that pedestal.
Minimal could only compete if it was sped up to 220bpm.

I love minimal for getting the same effect out of a crowd with less. That takes talent.

Proper minimal should be able to rock a crowd and get it grooving in just the same way that hard or funky techno can.

Poncy parallels can be drawn if you like that sort of thing. Keeps us blethering types happy anyway...
