Nederbeat (also: Nederbiet) is a genre of rock music that began with the Dutch rock boom in the mid-1960s influenced by British beat groups and rock bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.[1] Much like British freakbeat, it is essentially the Dutch counterpart to American garage rock.[citation needed] Among the best-known Nederbeat groups are the Golden Earring, The Motions, The Outsiders and Shocking Blue.
