      Yes, Blur was by far the best band in that scene anyway. Parklife was also great, then they went experimental with the self-titled and even more so with 13. This change in sound made Damon want to venture into other genres too, and so Gorillaz was born.

    Not to be that guy factchecking a comedy video, but one of the core facts here is backwards-- Blur's Country House outsold Oasis's Roll With It by 50k copies, not the other way around. Oasis would go on to sell more records as a whole, hence the common perception that "one won the battle, one won the war" (and then the ensuing debate about the rest of their careers making that even murkier) but that specific singles battle which coined the name "The Battle of Britpop" went in Blur's favor.

    I would hate to 🤓 but I think what made the Britpop battle between oasis and blur such a fascinating piece of history was the almost war between the represented middle vs lower class British Citizens. I'm Australian so initial I didn't give a fuck for 90s British acts but that was such an explosion of creativity and media the likes of which I honestly don't think we will see again. Like honestly go back and listen to the great escape by blur it is fucking insanity the fact that album not only topped charts but had massive singles off it like a song like Country House could not succeed today it is just so strange and corny but so catchy. Its my go to song whenever I'm stoned tbh but man what a fascinating time of music history that was.

      I love Placebo too!! I wouldn't call them britpop though, as only 1 member was actually British despite forming in London, a lot of their influences are American (no britpop band cited Sonic Youth or the Pixies as an influence) and Brian Molko stood against a sexist(?) undertone of the britpop scene at its prime.
      Also, they only overlapped with britpop by 1996-97, later the scene was over but Placebo still went on. Their first 5 albums are very special to me. Sorry for the really long reply ;)

    Imagine a world where there is no UA-cam or Spotify or any kind of social media and the outlets for music are out of your control with what they play. Then imagine a type of music that is not really your thing, but it's the only music that is played everywhere. I mean everywhere; radio, TV, record stores, clubs, pubs even buskers in the street. Was your favorite rock night at one of the clubs in town, now replaced with a load of drunk blokes shouting the lyrics to wonderwall in your ear. Even in the newspapers and national news you have to hear about who will get number one blur or oasis. That is what it was like living in the world of Britpop. Don't even get me started on TFI Friday.

    Why did you say quote on quote culture???? Britain is an ancients country with so much culture its unreal, so many different cultures alone and the modern art exports have probably made British culture the single most popular....

    Genuine question, could Pablo Honey and The Bends by Radiohead be considered Britpop? I've seen numerous people say they're britpop albums but I genuinely don't hear it

    • @316_Bubbles
      @316_Bubbles 3 місяці тому

      Yes. Most british indie bands from the early to late 90s were considered Britpop. Although Britpop imo isn't really a real genre since bands in the Britpop era were of all different genres. Suede were glam, Supergrass were punk and Radiohead, before Ok Computer, were more grungy. Hope this helped

      Pablo Honey its more like a grunge album. The Bends in my opinion fits the "Britpop" label. From OK Computer onwards its a diferent thing

      i think it’s just because they were a popular british indie band in the 90s, and there was a lot of overlap between radiohead fans and fans of classic britpop bands

    So I see what you are doing here.. however some corrections
    1) it’s Sleeper and not Sleepy
    2) Blur won the battle with Country House going to number one. I think however the resulting albums did the reverse
    3) I think you’ve missed some cultural context. Britpop was of course tied up with the ‘Cool Britannia’ scene, which wasn’t just about music (and you rightly say the Spice Girls picked it up and ran with it), but it was wrapped up in the country just feeling good about itself for the first time in decades - think the genuine joy in the country around Euro 96, the Labour Govt ending decades of Conservative rule with their ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ moment. Was it marketed up the wazoo? Definitely. But Blur, Suede, Oasis, and Pulp resonate and still create music to this day (and Pulp existed a long time before this movement). I’d also suggest it wasn’t so much a reaction against Shoegaze, but a continuation of ‘Madchester’ with big record labels trying to recreate The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses
