Nu rave was one of the shortest lived subcultures around. It lasted from 2005 till 2008. This may have been because it was directed at young people and like most things young people get bored with anything and to be honest I wouldn’t want to be wearing bright maniac colours 24/7.
Nu rave music consists of Electro/ Techno/ Trance/ and Electro house, (shit disco and hadouken!) These are rather out there beats this is why they wore what they wore, they wanted to be noticed!
This being neon shades, wearing sunglasses for show, and colourful high top trainers.
The band the klaxons originally started taking the Mickey out of this subculture but in a non obviously this then went onto them having a name as a Nu rave band. This they were not happy about.
