The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and Prodigy are British bands. Techno, or later dance, may have played in the US but it is not easy to remember an US artist in the genre. Let alone a successful one.

You, sir, are a complete poser. US electronica duo The Crystal Method is one of the big pioneers of the genre and is still very much alive and kicking.

Amber lamps, for those who didn't know, is a reference to Thomas Bruso (aka Epic Beard Man)'s African-American ghetto punk arch enemy whom he encountered in a bus ride.

See video.

After talking smack to Epic Beard Guy, harassing and then hitting him, Epic Beard Guy hit back at Amber Lamps, thus making Amber Lamps say "I need an amber lamps" because of his bleeding nose.

Parent is, of course, referring to gaming usage of the term "raid" wherein players undertake a type of mission in an MMORPG like World of Warcraft where the objective is to use a very large number of people, relative to a normal team size set by the game, to defeat a boss monster.

If the players attempting the raid are of insufficient level, they will tend to die or "get wiped out".

Parent is also very clever because at the same time, he *also* refers to the technology acronym aspect of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) by implying that attempting to create a RAID without sufficient experience will often lead to disaster.
