1. Dubstep and Drum and Bass producers from UK.
2. Rap artist from New York, USA.
3. Hardcore Techno alias of Alec Empire
4. Alternative Rock band From Ireland.
5. A Japanese singer who posts his covers on Nico Nico Douga.
1. Nero say that they're best known for 'Ragga Puffin', but they're possibly being a bit modest here (as they are almost certainly being ironic when they say that the future of DJing is Paris Hilton). They first shot to notoriety - in drum & bass circles anyway - with their 2005 release 'Ragga Puffin' on DJ SS's Formation offshoot Reformed Recordings, a track with an epic intro that would only hint at what was to come from this hugely talented production/DJ duo.
Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray had a No.1 single in the UK with 'Promises' in August this year, and simultaneously held the No.1 album slot in the UK with 'Welcome Reality'. These immense achievements - as well as supporting and remixing Deadmau5 - marked the culmination of Nero morphing from a d&b act through dubstep and into all-conquering EDM.
Dreamy banger 'Innocence', featuring Alana Watson on vocals, was their first big dubstep record on MTA Records, the label run by Chase & Status, another junglist duo who broadened out their palette to embrace other musical styles. And they haven't really looked back, having bigger and bigger hits with 'Me & You', 'Guilt' and then 'Promises' as 2011 progressed.
“The last 12 months have been incredible for us,” Nero tell DJmag. “We've been so lucky to have the chance to DJ around the world and do things like work with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. We can't say thanks enough to fans and those who've supported us.”
2. Nero is a 16 year old rapper based in Harlem, New York. He recently reissued his mixtape under the name Alive & Vibrant: Relive The Moment. This project is a tribute to 90's hip-hop, with Nero reworking classic hip-hop tracks from Black Moon, Craig Mack, Redman, Mobb Deep, Pete Rock and more. It has been featured on such hip-hop blogs as NahRight, illRoots, 2DopeBoyz and more.
3 Alec Empire released the track Youth Against Racism under this name on the split 12" Destroy Deutschland! in '93 (on which he also released tracks under his own name).
4. Nero is also a four-piece alternative rock band from Dublin City, Ireland. They formed in late 1997 and over the past four and a half years have played the Irish club and college circuit to critical acclaim and an ever-increasing fan base. They have played to packed houses in many of Ireland's premier live venues, both North and South of the border, including frequent sell-outs of Dublin's 600 capacity Temple Bar Music Centre. Currently, Nero are in the US for an extended tour. Nero is currently based in San Francisco and touring all around California.

The lyrics of Nero's song "Innocence" seem to be about an unattainable love interest or desire for innocence. The repetition of the word "innocence" throughout the song suggests a longing for something pure and untainted, perhaps even a yearning to return to a more innocent time or state of mind. The lines "You'll never be mine" and "Be mine" imply a sense of longing and unrequited love or desire.
The use of the word "mine" also suggests a possessiveness and control, as if the singer is trying to claim or hold onto their desired innocence or love interest. However, the repetition of "You'll never be mine" suggests a sense of resignation or acceptance that this innocence or love interest will never truly belong to them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Innocence" convey a complex mix of desire, longing, and resignation, all tied to a theme of innocence and purity.

Editor of the video here checking in and wanting to provide a little history lesson 12 years after this dropped.
I was working in a digital marketing agency at the time creating animated gif banners and hating every god damn second of it. My boss knew this and mentioned her friend (a recruitment agent) was looking for an agency to create a video for their friends (Joe and Dan of Nero). The budget was much too small for an agency to take on so my details were passed on and we arranged to meet.
At the time they were recording in Pete Waterman's studio in the County Hall on Southbank in London along with other soon to be big dubstep artists like Sub Focus. Anyway, I pop along to hear this 'new track' these unknowns had created, 100% prepped to hear some total garbage and fake smile and feign admiration etc. Well... obviously it blew my f**king mind.
Anyway, low budget, they loved this anime series. Asked me to cut an edit using the three episodes and throw in the odd band reference and visual and boom. It's 2022, 12 years later and it still gives me emotional chills every time I hear the song. I'm right back in that little studio room, a nervous, totally inexperienced junior motion graphics designer hearing a song for the first time that would go on to be a certified banger and somewhat genre defining record.
I will never stop listening to this, I will never stop loving it.
