The last time British music was really fun. Then Radiohead came along with "Hello Computer" and killed it off for a few years. But its influence is strong with newer groups like Coldplay, The Kieser Chiefs and Keane.

the most overrated genre ever. all of the bands are overrated and boring as hell especially Radiohead. most of it is soft rock with pop added to the mix. IMO its just boring bullshit, I don't know why everyone likes britpop.
also Kasabian aren't britpop (like that other retard said)

britpop is Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, Blur, Keane, Pulp, The Verve, Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs etc. Most britpop bands suck (with a few exceptions like Muse)

Britpop is only listened to by the British. Nobody else in the world listens to Britpop (cause nobody is as boring as them.)
By the way...
Radiohead blow. Hard. Get outta here with that boring shit. -->

Battle of the Britpop refers to a hotly contested chart battle between the British bands Blur and Oasis. Blur's single "Country House" faced off against Oasis' "Roll With It" when both singles dropped on the exact same day, August 14, 1995. Blur first won the battle when "Country House" outsold "Roll With It", but Oasis ulitmatly won the war with "What's the Story, (Morning Glory)" outselling Blur's album in total sells.

Pretty much like indie kids, but the britpop kids aren't too fussed about their music being 'non-mainstream'. Their bands of choice usually include Oasis, The Libertines & The Fratellis. Most of it is either soft electric or acoustic guitar, and the singers can actually sing.
Indie Boys usually wear jeans, which can be skinny (but not too skinny) or baggy, with an obscure band teeshirt and a bizarrely coloured hoodie and converse/dunlops.
The girls are divided into two groups, there's the indie vintage girls who wear things like tweed, a lot of fifties style things, long knee length socks, silk scarves and look incredibly expensive. The other kind dress more like the boys, with band shirts or just shirts with a cool logo, hoodies, skinny jeans and converse. The indie boy DOES NOT wear make up. The indie girl wears a small amount but not over emo eyeliner and never, ever lipgloss.
New rave is very influential over the indie stereotype and indie kids have taken on a lot of neon-techno-rave gear. Inspired by bands such as Klaxons, CSS, and Hadouken! the basic uniform remains the same except the hoodies become bolder and the girls wear a lot of neon eyeshadow. Large sunglasses (obscure only, mind) are also common amongst indie britpoppers.
