The latest NME fad.

What's next, the re-invention of Grunge as New Grunge in 2007?


Oh, and all the bands i have heard that fit under the handy umbrella of New Rave have been piss poor.

Its not electronic music, its pop music. And its shit.

Electronic music is music made with electronic sounds. Pop music is music which is content-less.

I have no comment on rave culture. Well, okay, I've never done X.

The olde rave sucked. I have a feeling that the new rave would probably be worse.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as I watched the standard bearers of this ludicrous genre - The Klaxons - on MTVPooh today.

I honestly don't get it. Is it 'rave' because it involves glow sticks?

"It has similarities with US-led style Dance-punk"

That's all I fuckin' need to know.

Shitdisco? That name rivals Something Corporate for the Truth In Advertising award.
