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
BRING BACK THE NINETIES I FEEL TOO OLD!!!!

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...
THING I LEARNED TODAY: Richard D James is from Limerick.
-
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?
-
Nu-Rave?
Moar liek Nu-Gayve, amirite?
-
see, it's funny because a lot of the Nu-Rave guys are actually gay. Geddit?
-
also: Ttam1210 your taste in music sucks, and you suck.
-
we were all thinkin' it
he just said it for us
-
You see, this is why we always get yelled at by each other. Why does music have to suck? What about feelings?
-
FEELINGS ARE BORING
KISSING IS AWESOME

you know what i hate
is pears
-
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.
-
I dunno man. Call me crazy, but I think the bubonic plague might beat it out.
-
Both the bubonic plage and rave music pale in comparison to HITLER

Ultimate anti-Nazi crime fighting force:
Indiana Jones
Winston Churchill
Articuno
Chewbacca

I'm more into everything else!!
-
proper rave was the best

This is now the best thread ever.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
YES!
-
lol ye the title wasn't meant to be like that!!
it just mean that its better than nu-rave
oh god im a fool!!
lolz
-
That is the implication, yes.
-
A bunch of my friends were going to go to a rave the other day, but it was like $40, so they didn't.
Ecstasy is a pretty dumb drug, huh.
-

Unfortunately for that equation, Seagal is already in the Triarchy of Doom with Van Damme and Norris. Now, the three of them shatter civilizations.
-

Hey, I liked Psychic TV Shut up I hate you
-
Kai, I think you misread what Khar wrote.
-
Mis-reading as in, understanding exactly the opposite of what I was saying.
-
I thought you were saying Psychic TV belonged with the slew of shitty artists, not instead of the shitty artists
duly noted
-
Now seriously man, what that you know about me would induce you to think such a thing?
I mean srsly.

It has been called, can someone close this please.
-
Rave music, whether 'nu' or otherwise sucks.
-
I considered bumping this thread as well, but decided better of it.
Jus' sayin'
-
you know what i hate
is pears
How can you hate pears? They're delicious! Nazis I understand, but pears?
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.

oh purlease C Norris could take them all on with one finger and both eyes shut
nah i think (without norris) we would need the force of yoda, obi wan, picard, Q, Kirk and spock
as well as Han Solo
while Faye blasts out sarcastic jibes in regards to all the enemy's personal life, attire and general appearence
-
What use would Kirk be? Seriously, you cannot beat ultimate evil by grinning at it, wrestling with it, getting Spock to nerve pinch it, then sleeping with its green-skinned girlfriend.

Right. I'm no reglar nor nothin but, as a member of the human race, I think I have a right to know:

Nazi invasion. Messy stuff.

Seriously, what the fuck is "nu-rave"?
-
Rave with a fat white guy shouting angrily over the top?
-
Some would call it the bastardisation of a people. Others would call it a new incarnation of the past. I call it teh suck.
-
Rave with a fat white guy shouting angrily over the top?
I thought we as a culture had decreed that nu-metal never happened. You are treading on shaky ground, Harry.

You guys Les Savy Fav and Vitalic would be the best supergroup of all times

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Repeat it with beats and glowsticks.

Repeat it with beats and glowsticks.
now that's the kind of history I can get behind
imagine how much better hitler would be with beats and glowsticks (since this is already godwined)

You know, this time last year I figured all these New Rave bands would've broken up at this point and everyone would've pretended like they never existed. Is this still big in the UK?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
Does the editor of NME actually masturbate into your mouth when you're hungry?
-
Can someone list a few examples of what the hell Nu-Rave is? I don't really check the music press, just listen to recommendations from my peers to be honest. I fail to see how Enter Shikari, in any way, could be connected to Rave, to be honest. The only new bands I like listening to whilst high that I can think of from recent times are 65 Days of Static and Pendulum (hold your colour).
LSD - Love, Sensuality & Devotion :P
-
Klaxons, New Young Pony Club, that kind of think. It's not all bad, both those bands have the odd song I really like.
