		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.
		Britpop groups were strongly influenced by the British guitar music of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly the two Rock and Roll trends of the British Invasion: the "rocker" cornerstones like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and their Mod contemporaries like The Who, The Kinks, and The Small Faces.
		The ceremony was packed with britpop artists, but it was Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker who stole the show by invading the stage during a performance by Michael Jackson and flashing his rear.

	Britpop: Towards a Musicological Assessment, Leeds, April 1997
		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.
		Possible definitions of Britpop will be examined, and the argument put forward that one of its key features concerns its part in a far broader trend: that of considerable changes in the cultural roles of various musical styles.
		Throughout Britpop, certain concepts of triviality can be discerned which trace an ironic form of self-critique within the genre, and which raise a number of aesthetic and ideological problematics concerning its meaning, its relationship to the history of popular music, and its relationship to other genres.

		Britpop draws on elements of British rock and pop from as far back as the 1960's, with the consequence that it has been labelled a regressive movement, looking backwards to the heyday of the guitar-based beat combo for it's inspiration, although the diversity within the movement means this charge can only be partially true.
		As its name implies, britpop comments on and reflects British life, without too much concern for how it is received across the Atlantic.
		Some regard Paul Weller as the pioneer of the movement, but it's first true protagonists were the hard-hitting band Suede, who led the way for Blur, based in London, and Oasis, based in Manchester to engage in a high profile media-induced regional rivalry.

		Live Forever is a new documentary on the Britpop era of the mid-1990s, when success stories like Pulp, Blur and Oasis, TFI Friday and hip films such as Trainspotting created an atmosphere of national cultural jubilation soon co-opted by Tony Blair, who was famously namechecked at the Brit Awards by Oasis’s Noel Gallagher.
		The Britpop "phenomenon" was indicative of the reactionary nature of the English media.

		Although the movement originated in the U.K. indie scene, Britpop was unabashedly commercial - its bands prized big, shiny, catchy hooks, as well as the glamour of mainstream pop stardom and the sense that they were creating the soundtrack to the lives of a new generation of British youth.
		Britpop's youthful exuberance and desire for recognition were reactions not only against the shy, anti-star personas of the early-'90s shoegazer bands, but also the dourness of American grunge and the faceless producers behind the growing electronic-dance underground.
		Suede kick started the Britpop revolution of the '90s, bringing English indie pop/rock music away from the swirling layers of shoegazing and dance-pop fusions of Madchester, and reinstating such conventions of British pop as mystique and the three-minute single.

		Blur and Oasis are generally considered the scene's most prominent acts, though other bands associated with Britpop at various stages included Suede, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Supergrass, The Verve and Radiohead.
		In the following three years (1993 – 1995) other Britpop acts dominated the music weeklies - Mansun, Elastica, Echobelly, Sleeper, Supergrass, Primal Scream, The Auteurs, The Boo Radleys, Pulp, Cast (a band formed by John Power, former bassist for The La's), The Bluetones, Black Grape, Torrindale, Space and The Divine Comedy.
		This can be seen as a continuation of the evolution of new bands and scenes from old, and the rapid turnover of 'genres', in the British music scene.
