Someone has taken the idea of "new rave" a bit literally and in an article about police attempting to shut down suspected "illegal raves" across the country this summer, says that the Local Government Association have identified that young people have "tired of mainstream bands and were turning to 'nu-rave' music that was not available at established clubs and festivals".
