yeah that's pretty much it.

band examples include klaxons themselves and things like new young pony club, cansei de ser sexy (aka CSS) and sometime hadouken! are thrown in with the tag.

The term got coined by Merok Records' director, and Merok released Atlantis to Interzone, which started the whole New Rave scene off.
Also, CSS & NYPC aren't new rave, so why do people think they are? :rolleyes:

I don't know why NYPC are in there under 'main exponent' - they're not New Rave at all!
The Ghost Frequency <3333333333
And I got the label wrong, it's Angular Records not Merok.

Hadouken! are crap! No way new rave, they get this "grindie" tag mainly when they are hardly grimey!! Lead singer is such a grime wannabe.

dude, the lead singer used to make grime beats..

I read an interview in NME and they said "Now we're going to the park to drink white lightning! Rave in the park!" I bet they didn't. Oh sorry, that was Enter Shikari. -_-

I do like the new rave stuff.

bands like hadouken! and enter shikari are among the worst

fair play to them then but they've got this 'grindie' seem all worked wrong. they don't sound grimey to me atall & it's just bad "repping" the grime scene.

People who spray paint themselves silver and sit on top of speakers.

a fad that scene kids who don't know anything about music latch onto cos nme thinks it's cool.

this is kinda off topic but SHITDISCO = (L)

loooool!
If someone said that The Go! Team were new rave, then they must have problems because I can't see how they're new rave.
(That's not directed at anyone)

a really bad 90s resurgeance.
