Most people would say that "Nu Rave" is a type of genre electronica/techno/pop/indie that bands like "Klaxons" would come under, others would say it's a way that people dress, which seems to consist of 80's era clothing, and bright, neon colours and stuff. The whole "Make Love Not War" T-shirt thing is also supposedly "Nu Rave".
Anyways..to the point. I personally think that Nu Rave is the new emo. Before everyone seemed to be obsessed with the whole emo thing and now all of a sudden New rave has come about. I dont think it's individual. I think it's boring. Don't get me wrong, i have nothing against people who catagorize themsleves, other people, or bands and stuff, i just dont like the whole "putting people into groups" thing.
In fact, i love bright colours, ive worn lots of bright colours for ages and now all of a sudden its a new trend. I just don't like trends thats all. They pass. Ah well..thanks for reading. xxx.

Imo, nu-rave is not indie pop or garbage like that, it is the early 90's rave scene comming around again with new producers and dj's replicating the combined sound of (RAVE BREAKS, HARDCORE BREAKS, AND JUNGLE TECHNO) I consider myself as a nu-rave dj, and after all the word RAVE became popular in the late 80's early 90's depicting the huge dance and party movement, that was untill the criminal justice act :(. So in a nut shell I am a nu-raver and i'll always be an old skool raver as well.

Nu Rave - Maybe the worst form of music to hit the British Isles for many a year.
Poorly played tunes (to be 'ironic', or perhaps 'avant garde', obviously) by upper-class kids who were in need of a shag and realised that instead of actually paying for the privilege, they could form a selection of terrible bands, rake in money from the type of idiots who live and die by the NME, and get groupie love for free. Classic.

"I find Nu Rave an interesting area of music, the lyrics in particular are very insightful"

Nu-Rave is the umbrella term used to describe a trio of distinct but united sounds; Hardcore Breaks, Rave Breaks and J-Tek... Music that takes the best from the original early 90s UK Rave scene and brings it up-to-date with an added twist for today's generation.
