The Guardian: ‘New Rave is just indie-rock in bright outfits’

30 January, 2008 | 3.04PM

Filed under: Music News: nu rave

Britain’s The Guardian has a piece that attempts to unlock the meaning behind the tag ‘nu rave’ or ‘new rave’.

They conclude that so-called nu rave acts like Simian Mobile Disco and Does It Offend You, Yeah? are really just indie rock bands with a few drum loops and synths.

Beatportal has always hated the term ‘nu rave’ and instead prefers to use ‘indie dance’.

At least, that shows that the music is somewhere in between guitars and electronics.

Ultimately though, who cares?

Isn’t this debate getting a bit old?
