Britpop emerged in the UK in 1993, peaked around 1995, and declined in 1997. The genre is characterized as catchier alt-rock that focuses on Cool Brittanica, lad culture, and an overall easy-going sound. The inspirations of the genre is closely tied to punk, glam rock, 60s British pop, indie pop, and the Madchester scene. It is also often cited as a response to the dark lyrics of grunge and shoegaze.
Britpop in many ways was more of a cultural movement focused on British nationalism than it was a genre. The title Britpop was mostly a marketing ploy. The ‘Big Four’ of the genre is Blur, Oasis, Pulp, and Suede (Suede is also referred to as The London Suedes in America due to a lawsuit).
Blur and Oasis were the biggest two bands in the genre. They even had a “Battle of Britpop” on the charts where both of their songs battled for the number 1 spot. Ultimately, Blur’s “Country House” won with Oasis’s “Roll With It” falling in No. 2.
Shortly after the release of Oasis’s 3rd album (1997), Britpop came to an end. Many felt that this album was overproduced. However, Post-Britpop quickly followed with bands such as Radiohead, The Verve, and Coldplay. This era of bands reached a larger international audience. Garage Rock also became a response to Britpop and “The Saviors of Rock and Roll.”
