-:- New Rave -:-

New Rave (sometimes labelled New-Rave, Nu Rave, Neu- Rave or Nu-Rave), is a term applied to several types of music that go from fusing elements of electronic, New Wave music, disco music, rock, Indie music, to Techno, Hip-House, Electro Break-Beat; Rousing Rave from the Grave; retrieved March 31, 2007. New Rave does not yet define a style, but a free mix of styles, that developed in different cities around the world.[citation needed] Music publication NME is largely responsible for popularizing 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, New Young Pony Cluband SHITDISCO are generally accepted as the main exponents of the genre. We can consider Paris, London, Porto, Birmingham, Sunderland, Miami and Hamburg as the main development polos of New Rave culture, although perhaps, it has now spread to a big part of the globe.The aesthetics of the New Rave scene are largely similar to those of the original rave scene, being mostly cenetred around psychedelic visual effects. Glowsticks, neon and other lights are common, and followers of the scene often dress in extremely bright and fluorescent colored clothing. Sonically the scene is less electronically pioneering than original post-punk such as ESG, New Order, and Public Image Limited. There is virtually no sonic similarities to Rave music apart from covers of pop rave classics.

Criticism

The actual sound of original Rave is barely (if at all) discernible in the majority of bands referred to as 'new rave'. Bands such as The Sunshine Underground, Cansei de Ser Sexy, Solo Combo , and Hot Chip are often labeled as New Rave due to their large following by fans of the genre, despite evolving in a different musical culture and, in some cases, a different country. Several have publicly declared they have nothing to do with the genre. Indeed, even Klaxons have declared they are not New Rave, describing it as a "joke that’s got out of hand."NME's re-branding a strand of music as an evolution of rave has been met with distaste by some of those involved in the resurgence of the UK breakbeat hardcore / hardcore breaks scene, which has also been described as 'Nu Rave'. In their review of the Klaxons' new album, Myths of the Near Future, the NME branded all ravers of the traditional rave scene “twats with baggy trousers”.The New Rave scene can be viewed as a media construct, largely propounded by the NME and TRAX with other publications treating the subject as a joke. The belief that many of the bands associated with New Rave can more appropriately be associated with the genre of dance-punk has given credence to such suggestions, although differences between both genres are said to be minor. John Harris has stated in The Guardian newspaper that the genre is nothing more than a "piss-poor supposed 'youthquake'" that will soon go out of fashion in the same way as rave.
