New Rave Information.

From Wikipedia Research into New Rave, after we saw our music had fun, dancy disco beats, much like "New Rave".

New Rave (Sometimes labelled New-Rave, Nu Rave or Nu-Rave), is a label applied to a style of music fusing elements of electronic, New Wave music, disco music and punk, which developed in the UK in 2006. It has similarities with US-led style dance-punk. Music publication NME is largely responsible for popularising the term, which has connotations of the genre being a 'new' version of 'rave' as well as being a corruption of the term 'new wave'.
Klaxons, New Young Pony Club, Hadouken!, and Shitdisco are generally accepted as the main exponents of the genre.
The aesthetics of the New Rave scene are largely similar to those of the original rave scene, being mostly centred around psychedelic visual effects. Glowsticks, neon and other lights are common, and followers of the scene often dress in extremely bright and fluorescent coloured clothing.

We are looking at a wider audience, teenagers who like to club and have fun 18+.

Dance - Justice

This song is very upbeat and lively, and shows teenage culture. The concept of the video is for people just to enjoy themselves and DANCE!
The fun beat and dancing conotations, show the feeling of teenagers at the moment, and that alot of teenagers are looking for a good time, and just to dance, and not to rebel or get into trouble which hasd been focused on in music from other genre's and subcultures.
E.g. Rap, which connotes violence, and often gives alot of messages through the music.
The genre of the music is very disco and "New Rave" with the bright colours and logo t-shirts.
T-shirts with logos fit in with the new sub culture of "New Rave" which has Dance beats and glow sticks and the music just signifies fun.
We want to bring the dancey fun beat through in our own work, and appeal to the new music cultures like "New Rave" and Dance, and Disco.
In our music video we also want to give a message but through having fun, and standing up for yourself and dancing, rather than violence or swearing.

Where is the Love? - Black Eyed Peas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJV9EMkv0u4

This song was inspired by the September 11th attacks. The song touches on a wide range of global issues, including the war in Iraq. They use the red question mark on the black background to symbolise this song because it leaves a question 'Where is the love?' Some of the lyrics are: "People killin', people dyin'Children hurt and you hear them cryin'Can you practice what you preachAnd would you turn the other cheek" . These lyrics are saying that in this world people are only bothered about what they have to say and not what is really goin on in this world.
