nu rave is a so-called style of music and 'way of life' as termed by NME Magazine in an article about the Klaxons in March of 2007. Subsequently stores became full of 'nu-rave' merchandise resembling a hideous combination of the worst aspects of 80's, early 90's and chav fashions.
Unlike Punk or other styles which were seen to be outlandish in their day, the nu-rave style is not at all individualistic and has not developed alongside political or social movements over the years ... in fact, it is an overnight style which was cleverly prepared, marketed, and deployed onto consumers by corporate giants.

corporate guru #1: do you think anyone will notice that within days of NME Magazine coining the term, the shops are all coincedentally filled with nu rave items?

Get the nu-rave mug.1:A large, glossy black bird with black/violet feathers of the Corvidae family of birds, consisting of birds such as Magpies, Blue Jays, and Crows. Ravens are much like large crows with boxy tail feathers A signature of the raven, a long, thick beak, and a wingspan sometimes reaching nearly six feet. The Raven has a much deeper call than the crow, with a croak rather than a caw.
2: The famous bird from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"
3: An animal frequent in many mythologies. In Norse Mythology That of the Vikings/Scandinavians Odin, the All-Father God, has two Ravens named Huginn and Muninn Thought and Memory that travel to Midgard -- the world of Men -- and report the happenings back to him.

Get the raven hair; raven haired mug.A dance party where electronic music is the mainstay, often but not always underground, often characterized also by drug use (primarily LSD and X)and very casual sex, but again, not always. In its truest form, a rave is a communal unity event that provides a visceral outlet for pent up emotion, replacing it with positive feeling and fraternity, for which drugs and sex are not strictly necessary. Recently, in certain locales, a new philosophy of raving has developed, known as "Rave or Die," a devotion to raving itself, rather than a counterculture or underground movement, raving as a trancendental experience to unite one soul with another through a heavy beat, and a determination to carry the same positive atmosphere, and freedom of motion and action throughout one's life. "The heartbeat will never fade, the party will never end! I am a Raver, and this is my Manifesto! RAVE OR DIE!"
"Yeah, I went to a rave the other night."
"Never really saw the point of those"
"Think twenty odd women who took off their shirts and then jumped up and down to sweet techno music."
"Man, you suck."
