New rave is a genre characterized by its frenetic energy, eclectic blend of indie rock, electronic, and dance music elements, and often, a DIY ethos. Emerging in the mid-2000s, new rave drew inspiration from the UK's rave and indie scenes, as well as global influences like Afrobeat and Bollywood. The genre's sound is marked by driving rhythms, synthesizer-heavy instrumentation, and often, distorted, effects-heavy vocals. Notable for its fusion of punk's raw energy with the dancefloor appeal of electronic music, new rave captivated a generation of music fans disillusioned with mainstream rock. With its genre-bending approach and irreverent attitude, new rave both reflected and influenced the cultural zeitgeist of the late 2000s, resonating with fans seeking a more experimental and inclusive musical experience.
