sorry to be over nostalgic but I hate "nu-ravers" going around thinking that their favourite band is so unique and experimental when in the 1990's the whole scene was done and at a so much better level

Take bands such as "Enter Shikari" who, even though they try to be post-hardcore, nuvo-ironic hybrids of electronic, emo and indy are, essentially, "nu-rave".
They are recycling what so many bands before them have done though they get treated as gods among musicians.

"Nu-rave" is fastly becoming the new emo... not because of the content of the scene but purely for the generalisation of the term.

Although, bands like new young pony club and SHITDISCO are good in their own way

they are nothing compared to Prodigy, Rozalla, Praga Khan, Hallucinogen, Astral Projection, Andy C, Goldie, Dieselboy, Happy Hardcore, Gabba/Gabber, Cosmic Gate, DJ Scot Project, Technoboy, Blutonium Boy, Donkey Rollers, DJ Coone, Q-IC, DJ Greg, Dark Raver, Aphex twin and The Shamen

anyway i am being slightly hipster and i would like to finish with

Enter Shikari don't really have much in common with any of the bands you've listed. Not that I'm a fan of them but it's rather an unfair comparison, and I don't see how the nu-rave tag fits them at all, aside from how they dress and the fact that they use a little electronics. They've got more in common with your average myspace metal or extremo band.

I quite like nu-rave myself. It's fun, and I don't think it really has much to do with the rave scene you're missing in terms of sound or ethos, the name refers more to fashion and a general dance approach. Why not enjoy both?

Nu-rave has nothing to do with rave music. It's a convenient label tagged onto a particular genre of music by the press. Alos, happy hardcore? To each their own I guess...

So at clubs that play nu-rave, I guess they don't hand out pacifiers.
Would they hand out jumbo marshmallows instead, or latex gloves?

Man, as much as i dislike NME genre mongering and even though nu rave is one of the stupidest of their made up genres (I hear CSS are nu rave now?), rave was basically the nadir of the milennium.

You're confusing a statement of relative merit with an endorsement. It's like if I was to say "Being hit in the head by a computer mouse is the best kind of being hit in the head", that does not mean that I am inviting you to hit me in the head with a computer mouse.

Also, Jeph, everyone knows that Hitler was a failed Austrian rave-organiser.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #23 on:** 09 Nov 2007, 04:51 »

I remember reading an article once where someone called Hitler the first DJ and Nuremberg the first rave whilst I was researching some topics around industrial. I have a strange suspicion it might have been Genesis P Orridge. That's the kind of thing he pops out of. Speaking P Orridge, the OP is fail for mentioning a slew of shitty artists, and not Psychic TV. Or the KLF for that matter.

Thrillho · « **Reply #24 on:** 09 Nov 2007, 04:59 »

Uh, nu-rave isn't real. Nu-rave was a fake genre - I believe invented by Klaxons - to point out how shamelessly magazines like NME latch onto any 'trend' and act like it's the hottest shit ever. So I'm not sure if it's possible for nu-rave to be worse than old rave when nu-rave doesn't exist.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #25 on:** 09 Nov 2007, 05:06 »

I'm pretty sure Nu-Rave was made up by NME, or maybe the dynamics you suggest are closer to the truth, and the NME just latched on to a phrase of others. I do know, however, that the NME has a bit of a history making up genres and trying to claim credit for them.

NothingIncorporated · « **Reply #26 on:** 09 Nov 2007, 05:59 »

Back in the day where there woudl ALWAYS be some sort of piano riff half way through a rave track, and people would go to clubs wearing UV clothing and dungarees

A bunch of my friends were going to go to a rave the other day, but it was like $40, so they didn't.

I just thought of something that could give the Nazi Fighting Quartet a good run for its money: Nazis and the Galactic Empire entering an alliance, with zombies, werewolves, vampires, al Quaida, Soviets, Redcoats, Mordor, and the New York Yankees as additional members. They build the ultimate super weapon: A Death Star discoball that replaces the big laser with a speaker that blasts out Trance, emo-core, pop-punk, and hip hop all at the same time, preceded and followed by the Soviet National Anthem.

Confronted with that force, the Quartet would need to recruit CHUCK NORRIS to help them win.
