The Nu-rave term apparently came about in an interview with NME when one of the Klaxons said “new wave” and it was mis-heard / mis-interpeted as “nu-rave” and since then the label stuck.

Kasabian surely don’t get labelled as Nu Rave by anyone??

What annoys me is that the Klaxons actually have the cheek to say that the songs they are sampling / ripping off were shit and they’ve made them into decent tracks. A bit of respect for the original tracks and artists would be good.
