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.

Get the Nu Rave mug.Nü Metal isn't classic metal. It's not supposed to be classic metal. It is a different genre. That's what everybody that has defined nü metal needs to understand.
For nü metal, I mainly listen to Mudvayne, System of a Down, and Stone Sour. But I also listen to real metal; Children of Bodom, In Flames, and Arch Enemy to name a few.
Just because it isn't as hard as classic metal, that doesn't mean it isn't good.

Get the Nu Kappa League mug.Classic metal fan: Let's listen to Manowar.
Nu metal fan: I'd rather listen to Korn.
Classic metal fan: Fuck, dude, it isn't REAL metal, it's just shitty nu metal, without awesome guitar solos or musical talent.
Nu metal fan: a music's value isn't based on its complexity. Read Adorno, asshole.
Classic metal fan: I'd rather play WoW.

Get the Nu Metal mug.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.

Get the nu-rave mug.Copied from wikipedia:Bands linked with nu metal derive influence from a variety of diverse styles, including electronica/electronic music, funk, glam rock, gothic rock, grunge, hardcore punk, hip hop, industrial rock, jazz, post punk and synthpop. Also, nu metal derives influence from multiple subgenres of heavy metal including rap metal, funk metal and thrash metal. Nu metal music is mostly syncopated and based on riffs. Its lack of guitar solos and virtuousity contrasts it with other metal subgenres. Another way in which nu metal is contrasted with other metal subgenres is its emphasis on rhythm. Similarities with other metal subgenres include its use of common time, distorted guitars, power chords and note structures primarily revolving around Dorian, Aeolian or Phrygian modes. Some nu metal bands use 7-string guitars over traditional 6-string guitars. 7-string guitars, which are sometimes downtuned to increase heaviness, resulted in bass guitarists using five-string and six-string instruments. Some nu metal bands feature a DJ for additional rhythmic instrumentation. The vocals of many bands may range from melodic singing to rapping to screaming to death growling or in some cases have all of these styles in a single song but it can range from song to song. The lyrics of many nu metal bands focus on pain and personal alienation rather than the themes of other metal subgenres. I thought Id put a definition in that doesnt use childish behaviour to put foward biased arguments
