New rave (also known as nü rave, nu rave or neu rave) is a microgenre of indie rock and alternative dance coined by Klaxons founder Jamie Reynolds to describe a British alternative music scene that emerged between 2005 and late 2008. Characterized by fast-paced electronica-influenced indie music that drew influences from 1980s Madchester and rave scenes. The genre influenced the development of blog-related music scenes such as bloghouse and blog rock.
