Britpop

Britpop is a music genre that emerged in the UK during the 1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar bands and a strong sense of national identity. It drew inspiration from earlier British rock and pop music, embracing catchy melodies and lyrical themes centered on British culture and everyday life. Key bands included Oasis, Blur, and Pulp. Britpop became a cultural phenomenon, influencing fashion and attitudes, while also serving as a counterpoint to American grunge music. The movement peaked in the mid-'90s and is often associated with the "Battle of Britpop" between Oasis and Blur.
