If New Rave is the revival (wtf?) of old rave/madchester from the 80s then does that mean we will start seeing good EDM again in the next 10 years? :p
Or is this just conjecture and bull? :D |

| If the 20 year cycle is true then 2013-2016 will be utterly awesome. |

New rave is basically a lot of rock bands who use keyboards and occasionally cover early 90s hardcore/rave tracks.
The early 90s have been "back in" for a little while now. I've been hearing electro house remixes of almost every early 90s classic you care to name for at least a year. The update of Guru Josh last year is perhaps the most high-profile example.
Other evidence of an early-90s comeback: all the IDM guys keep making retro rave records, Zomby's "Where Were U In 92", Orbital reuniting.
So far it's been less stylistic renaissance, more lazy remix spree. |

God, how I hate that stupid track and the idiotic bandwagon of identically sounding tracks it has created. I don't like the original that muc either but Taucher's version from 1995 is pure win. |

| what J said. that whole short-lived indie thing mainly used rave as a buzzword. |

| Outside of remixes, a lot of old tracks have been making a resurgence. Mike Dunn's God Made Me Phunky is all over the place. |

you mean like the music in the "indie dance / nu disco" genre on beatport? i think there is already quite a bit of good tunes in that genre. i also think its hypocritical of people to diss that music but then turn around and praise all things daft punk. |
