They seem to be having fun and even a laugh at themselves. I don't dig the music or the fashion but they seem to enjoy life and what they are doing, more power.

precisely. actually, even if they're NOT enjoying themselves, that's up to them too

It all seems a bit Nathan Barley to me...

nah, nu-rave is much more recent than that, if anything i suspect elements of nu-rave are probably referencing Barley rather than the other way round. In fact, i imagine pretty much everyone involved in nu-rave is well aware of what they're up to, it's all very knowing
nu-rave is fun 
you're meant to have fun when you're a kid, and if you like you can carry on having fun well into old age. it's just that some people forget they were young and daft once
or maybe their mums wouldn't let them have fun or be daft and now they're just miserable
((((joyless cunts))))

This review of the Klaxons sums it up pretty well I think:

I think anything that might get today's kids checking out "old rave" is a good thing.

When my daughter first told me she was into nu rave, I was a bit puzzled like... (being there the first time and all)
But now I see her sitting across from me, bright and shiney in her little red dress and leopardskin footless tights, dead excited about seeing the Klaxons tomorrow at Shepherds Bush, and I'm full of admiration for her.
I mean around where we live, all the kids are 'townies' (so I'm told) and I'm proud of her individualistic streak...
More importantly, I love it that she has introduced me to this music that I proberbly wouldn't have heard of (at my great age) if it wasn't for her. There's an energy, optimism and intelligence in there, looking to make sense of, and find a place in, this fucked up world they find themselves inheriting.
I don't think it's Nathan Barley at all.

hope your lovely has a wicked time aurora
I actually wish I was going with her, but sadly, those days are over...
i think the klaxons are a brilliant band. the first track of the album is great. i dont mind all the 'kids' dressing up etc thats what teenagers do! i dont understand the point about topshop etc leading the youth on though. thats just how fashion works, something is cool - people buy it.

the yoot of today, eh?
As it always was, and as it always will and should be.
Can't stand all this stuff personally; but I'm old, it's a generation gap, and it's a very healthy thing IMO.
