New Wave of New Rave

My clubland spies in the UK are reporting a rather dubious sounding rave revival hitting town led by bands such as the Klaxons, Shit Disco and New Young Pony Club. Ironically its about 18 years since Rave first appeared, which is just about long enough for a generation that's not experienced the real thing to emerge and re-invent it (see the new wave revival). Lets face it ravers, in hindsight, weren't exactly the most sartorially informed youth subculture ever and most people involved at the time deny being that into it. Doubts that the new rave movement was started by a bunch of indie bands that couldn't get gigs without a media endorsed bandwagon are yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile in the London fashion scene there are disturbing signs that it might make a cross over - get your kit here.
