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 as similar to those of Grebo as to the original rave scene, being mostly centred around psychedelic visual effects, while being much more fashion-conscious. Glowsticks, neon and other lights are common, and followers of the scene often dress in extremely bright and fluorescent colored clothing.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
Set sail from sense, bring all her young
Set sail from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
We sailed from sense, brought all our young
We sailed from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
The lyrics of Klaxons' song "Golden Skans" convey a dreamlike experience of transcending reality and entering a realm of endless possibilities. The opening lines "light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans" suggest a euphoric feeling of enlightenment, perhaps through a spiritual experience or drug-induced state. This is further emphasized by the repetition of "golden skans," a phrase that is not found outside of the song.
The second verse introduces the idea of leaving behind old ways of thinking and embarking on a new journey. "Set sail from where we once begun" implies a departure from the familiar and a willingness to explore the unknown. The reference to a "hall of records" or "ruins and relics" suggests a discovery of ancient knowledge or secrets, guarded by wise elders and young initiates.
In the chorus, the singer encourages the listener to let go of all future plans and embrace the present moment where "all plans are golden in your hands." This is a call to live in the now and seize opportunities as they arise, rather than focusing on the future and potentially missing out on the beauty of the present.
Overall, "Golden Skans" is a poetic and introspective song that urges listeners to open their minds and embrace the unknown.

The track is a dreamy and enigmatic song that explores the idea of sailing away from sense and into an unknown territory. The chorus suggests a transition from the night to the light, where all plans are golden, indicating the potential for positive change and growth.
The repeated lines "Light touch my hands, in a dream of Golden Skans" and "Night touch my hands with the turning Golden Skans" create a sense of otherworldliness and transcendence, as if the song is describing a spiritual experience. The use of "Golden Skans" implies a mystical place or state of mind, represented by the color gold.
The verses describe sailing away from where they once began, possibly hinting at leaving behind a mundane or unfulfilling existence and seeking something more meaningful. The line "While we wait" suggests patience and a willingness to wait for the right opportunity to arise, instead of rushing into the future without thought.
The pre-chorus suggests the idea of uncovering hidden knowledge or secrets, represented by a "hall of records" or "ruins". The inclusion of "disciples and the young" hints at a spiritual or philosophical search for truth and understanding.
Overall, "Golden Skans" is a song that celebrates the unknown and the potential for growth and change. It encourages the listener to set sail from the familiar and embrace the mystery of the unknown, with the promise of a golden future ahead.

Either chatgpt or one of the more pretentious indie fans 🤣
It’s a song about putting your hands up in the air in the lights at a rave (because the klaxons were lumped in with ‘nu-rave’ music.)
From Wikipedia: In 1982 Claypaky presented the Astrodisco, which used a single lamp to project multiple rays of colored light across ceilings and dance floors. Five years later it launched Brilliant, a digitally controlled moving head and forerunner of a new generation of “intelligent” projectors. This was followed in 1988 by the programmable Golden Scan, a moving mirror projector and the first luminaire to implement stepper motor technology instead of servo motors.[5]
Acclaimed by the specialised press as “the world’s most popular and best-selling projector”, the Golden Scan became a commonly used lighting effect at nightclubs and rock concerts during the late 1980s and the 1990s.[5] The London rock band Klaxons claimed the projector was the inspiration behind their light-themed, hit single Golden Skans.
Christ…😂

I have literally been trying to find this song for atleast 12 years....I heard it in the middle of the night during summer vacation my sophomore year in highschool and it’s been stuck with me ever since...I never knew the lyrics, just the melody of how the chorus went and nobody knew what it was....and hear it is...in the middle of the night 10+ years later, as I’m putting my one month old daughter to sleep in the middle of the night...I’m humming it to her and she hits the microphone on my phone by accident. google hears me humming the song and pulls it right up...funny how the universe works! I am content with life totally at this point!
