| | Britpop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Oasis' second album is considered by many to be the definitive Britpop album. | | | Britpop was a British alternative rock and cultural movement which gained popularity in Great Britain in the mid 1990s, characterised by the prominence of bands influenced by British guitar pop music of the 1960s and 1970s. | | | Fans of Britpop are divided over which album truely kick-started the movement. |

| | Britpop - definition of Britpop in Encyclopedia |
| | Britpop revived the idea of rock stars and pop songs with big, catchy melodies and hooks. | | | Though the bands differed greatly in styles -- they ranged from the massive guitar roar of Oasis and the defiantly British pop of Blur to the disco/glam-rock pastiche of Pulp and progressive rock of Radiohead -- the bands were tied together by attitude. | | | Despite having a classic monosyllabic Britpop name, Pulp had been in existence for a good decade, and had a good few rather unsuccesful albums under their collective belts. |

| | Britpop was similarly a reflection of what was happening to the music industry as a whole. | | | To suggest Britpop was as important or ground-breaking as acid house (never mind punk) is ludicrous. | | | One of my reasons for not liking Britpop is the commercialism it introduced to British guitar music. |

| | Britpop is Britrock, and it is my contention that it is a tacit admission of the death of Rock music. | | | However Britpop is in fact the terminus of a circular development that has progressed through Pop Music since the 60s. | | | There is a clear sense in which the Britpop genre, even as it moves away from the Beatles/Kinks/Small Faces-centred British music of the ‘sixties which inspired it, and adopts a sound and a style more resonant with ‘nineties Britain, retains a fixation on a peculiarly one dimensional vision of the British identity. |

| | Musically, Britpop drew from the Beatles, of course, but also from the pastoral sound of late-'60s Kinks, the mod movement (the Who, the Small Faces), '70s glam (David Bowie, T. Rex, Roxy Music), punk and new wave (the Jam, the Buzzcocks, Wire, Madness, XTC, Squeeze, Elvis Costello), and the alternative guitar-pop of the Smiths. | | | Nearly abandoning the trancy melodies and droning guitars that were its trademark, the band has crafted an album full of sharp hooks and melodies, one that owes a great deal to the Britpop mania of 1995. |

| | Reynolds: Britpop |
| | The music biz, which was having trouble building long-selling careers off the back of dance music and had lost ground to the post-rave indie labels, is thrilled because the Britpopsters are guitar-based bands who willingly constrain themselves within the 3-minute pop single format and radio-friendly, trebley production. | | | Thanks to rave, the most vital sectors of '90's UK subculture are all about mixing it up: socially, racially, and musically (DJ cut'n'mix, remixology's deconstructive assault on the song). | | | Even more than the insularity of Britpop's quintessentially English canon (Kinks, Jam, Small Faces, Buzzcocks, Beatles, Smiths, Madness), it's the sheer WHITENESS of its sound that is staggering. |

| | Having now listened to three of Echobelly& albums I wonder how they ever got saddled with the ‘Britpop’ label (I know the answer is obvious) but really, this is pretty hard stuff, and for the most part, very good. | | | I would like to say that it was a seminal programme for me, but looking back the only bands out of the list of performers that I ever bought albums of were Pulp, Blur (both of whom I already liked anyway) and Sleeper (which I think I listened to about twice in my life). | | | What is funny is that, ten years on, all of the featured bands would probably be thoroughly ashamed to even be associated with the Britpop label, let alone to have actively participated in a programme trumpeting the genre. |
