Nu rave is a type of music predominantly from England, it combines indie with electronic beats and MCing. Some bands are considered nu rave such as the klaxons, these bands show the more indie side of the spectrum whereas bands such as Hadouken! show a mix of grimey beats with indie guitars and MCing. It has become quite mainstream and the "fashion" that follows it consists of bright/neon colours and 80s clothes, also slogan t-shirts such as "make music not missiles", "save the rave", "be a sinner not a winner" etc. very topshop.
