What I always found interesting is that there is a kind of anti-sex sentiment in Hardcore and Gabber.
It might not be so obvious with the mass amount of "Porno Rap" etc. sampled Hardcore, but it is definitely there.
Take for example the classic Gabber track "Love Really Sucks" by the Stunned Guys with its vocals "Being in love really sucks[...]Babies cost a lot of money, please don't make me fuck you, honey!" - portraying a motion of 'go away with your love, sex, I'm listening to Hardcore, I don't need that crap'. Similarily, a note in the booklet of the first Terrordrome compilation - "He said that he loved me, but after listening to Terrordrome, I told him to get fucked." - again: 'I don't need your love and sex, let me mind my own business".
Apart from these - possibly very subtle - hints, let's face it, a lot people who listen to and produce these sounds "don't get sex very often" - to say the least. Party fueled by the fact that most girls/boys are not very inclined to "date" Psychotic Speedcore Freaks, Bipolar Breakcore Weirdos or Depressed Doomcore Heads. So this anti-sex thing is there. It seems many people in these scenes often are above - "sex".
In my mind, this connects to a line from the very good and surreal movie 'Naked Lunch'. "I'm on 'Bug Powder' - I don't need to come". Bug powder in that movie is a reference to Heroin, and the motion that is transported here is that Heroin is sweeter than sex. As the movie is about a person who did a lot of Heroin, it's likely he speaks from "experience".
Couldn't the line be used and amended for Hardcore?
"We listen to this sound - we have no need for romantic affection."
