Britpop movement

Britpop was a British music movement in the 1990s characterized by bands that embraced and revitalized British culture, drawing from 1960s rock and pop influences. It emerged as a reaction against American grunge and electronic music, emphasizing catchy melodies, guitar-driven sounds, and relatable lyrics. Prominent bands like Oasis, Blur, and Pulp became symbols of British identity, often highlighting themes of working-class life and national pride. Britpop not only redefined the UK music scene but also influenced fashion and youth culture, marking a period of renewed confidence in British music and cultural expression.
