Britpop emerged from the British independent music<\/a> scene of the early 1990s and was characterised by bands influenced by British guitar pop music of the 1960s and 1970s.\u00a0The movement developed as a reaction against various musical and cultural trends in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the grunge<\/a> phenomenon from the United States.\u00a0New British groups such as Suede<\/a> and Blur<\/a>\u00a0launched the movement by positioning themselves as opposing musical forces, referencing British guitar music of the past and writing about uniquely British topics and concerns. These bands were soon joined by others including Oasis<\/a>, Pulp<\/a>, Supergrass<\/a> and Elastica<\/a>.\u00a0Britpop groups brought British alternative rock into the mainstream and formed the backbone of a larger British cultural movement called\u00a0Cool Britannia<\/a>.\u00a0Although its more popular bands were able to spread their commercial success overseas, especially to the United States, the movement largely fell apart by the end of the decade.<\/div>\n

From about 1997, as dissatisfaction grew with the concept of Cool Britannia, and Britpop as a movement began to dissolve, emerging bands began to avoid the Britpop label while still producing music derived from it.\u00a0Many of these bands tended to mix elements of British traditional rock (or British trad rock),\u00a0particularly the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Small Faces<\/a>,\u00a0with American influences, including post-grunge.\u00a0Post-Britpop bands like The Verve<\/a>, Radiohead<\/a>, Travis<\/a>, Stereophonics<\/a>, Placebo<\/a>, Feeder<\/a>, and particularly Coldplay<\/a>, achieved much wider international success than most of the Britpop groups that had preceded them, and were some of the most commercially successful acts of the late 1990s and early 2000s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
