The 90s Part 4: Britpop
b'I want you to think about fashion for a moment\\u2026fashion is one of the most disposable of all the artistic endeavours\\u2026much of what\\u2019s created isn\\u2019t designed to last more than a season\\u2026once the season is over, time to toss out all the coture and buy new stuff\\u2026\\n\\nBut there are cycles in fashion\\u2026after a certain amount of time, old styles might come back into favour again\\u2026this, in a way, makes fashion a renewable resource\\u2026\\n\\nMusic is also like that\\u2026trends and sounds and styles come along and then disappear\\u2026but then ten, fifteen, twenty or more years later, those trends, sounds and styles are resurrected by a brand-new generation\\u2026\\n\\nSometimes the kids rediscover the joys and appeal of a certain style of music independently\\u2026or maybe they got into some older records and were inspired by that\\u2026whatever the reason, anything to keep from being bored, right?...\\n\\nIf you were around in the early-to-mid 90s, you may remember a period when every week seemed to bring along something new and cool\\u2026a new band with a new sound and a new attitude\\u2026and this stuff was coming from all directions\\u2026\\n\\nNorth America had developed a massive appetite for all things alternative, led by grunge\\u2026in fact, grunge threatened to completely swamp rock music worldwide, including the UK\\u2026\\n\\nBut some young musicians would have none of this musical imperialism from the colonies\\u2026they decided to fight back with a real Made-In-Britain approach\\u2026\\n\\nThe result was fantastic\\u2026and until the whole thing collapsed under its own weight of excess and overexposure and drugs, it was an excellent party\\u2026this is part 4 of our look back of the alt-rock of the 1990s\\u2026the topic?...Britpop\\u2026\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
