New Rave (sometimes labelled New-Rave, Nu Rave, Neu- Rave or Nu-Rave), [1] is a label applied to a style of music fusing elements of electronic, New Wave music, disco music, Indie music and punk, which developed in the UK in 2006.[1] It has similarities with US-led style dance-punk. The Angular Recording Corporation, former record label of New-rave band Klaxons, were the first to coin the term,[2] although music publication NME is largely responsible for popularising the term throughout 2006 and 2007. The genre has connotations of being a 'new' version of 'rave' as well as being a corruption of the term 'new wave'.

Klaxons,[1][3][4] New Young Pony Club,[5][6][7][8] Hadouken!, and SHITDISCO[1] are generally accepted as the main exponents of the genre.

The aesthetics of the New Rave scene are largely similar to those of the original rave scene, being mostly centred around psychedelic visual effects. Glowsticks, neon and other lights are common, and followers of the scene often dress in extremely bright and fluorescent coloured clothing.[1][9]

Rave was pretty shit the first time round...I liked a few tracks.

The thing I've noticed is how alot of the new metal bands that are big with the kids seem to be drawing from the dodgy iron maiden / judas priest end of metal & the the kids love it ....being a child of the grunge era these type of bands just seem ridiculous, beyond spinal tap ....but look at dragonforce, nightwish....I don't know maybe the kids are wrong....but who gives a shit
