	Cool Britannia
		Cool Britannia was little more than a mercifully short-lived piece of media and marketing hype aimed at promoting the UK to a world audience.
		It was coined in that context during the 1990s to exploit the popularity of various 'Brit Pop' bands, for example Oasis, Blur and Pulp and of The Spice Girls and the contemporary notoriety of 'Brit Art'.
		Obviously 'Cool Britannia' alluded to the song 'Rule Britannia'.

	Cool Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cool Britannia is a media term that was used in the late 1990s to describe the contemporary culture of the United Kingdom.
		The phrase "Cool Britannia" reappeared in the mid-1990s as a registered trade mark for one of Ben and Jerry's ice-creams (vanilla with strawberries and chocolate-covered shortbread).
		Cool Britannia also summed up the mood in Britain during the mid-1990s Britpop movement, when there was a sudden influx of lively British rock and pop music from bands such as Oasis, Blur, Suede, Supergrass, Pulp and The Verve.

	Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Britannia remained the Latin name for Great Britain, but after the fall of the Roman Empire it had lost most symbolic meaning until the rise of British influence and later, the British Empire, which at its height, ruled a third of the world's population and a quarter of the world's landmass.
		In the Renaissance tradition, Britannia came to be viewed as the personification of Britain, in imagery that was developed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
		Britannia first appeared on the farthing in 1672, followed by the halfpenny later the same year; the model used, then and later, was Charles II's mistress, the Duchess of Richmond.

		Cool Britannia was quickly co-joined with images of uncool Britannia and more alarmingly rudely upended by cruel Britannia, crumbling Britannia, rip-off Britannia, racist Britannia and xenophobic Britannia.
		She declared that although well-meaning in intent, the Cool Britannia project had failed because it did not realise that "our national culture is something amorphous, something changing, and something complex", defined by and open to external influences.
		Whereas Cool Britannia concentrated on modernisation selling the cool and trendy image of vibrant cosmopolitan home of Britart, Britpop and street cred, UK OK decided that the future of Britain's tourism industry lay in keeping open a range of meanings and representations.

	Guardian \| The cool con
		So, what looked cool was actually cancerous, eating away at the unwavering truths of the leftwing under the guise of "newness" and leaving us in the situation where we have this government and there's nothing we wouldn't put past it.
		Campbell's bullish, bullying manner underscores the other downside of appealing to the fresh and the cool, which is that when you characterise your nation as one of energy and youth, you can then treat them all like children.
		But the root truth of Uncool Britannia is that not only was it not cool in the first place, but that a lot of the things dressed up as cool have actually contributed to a tide of squareness (if you can picture such a thing).

		And yet, in its brief existence, nothing characterised Cool Britannia more forcefully than the means of its end.
		For the decision to kill it off was taken not by the electorate, nor by the tabloids, nor even by Mr Mandelson, but by a handful of sulky pop stars pooh-poohing the whole idea in the parish magazine, NME.
		These are people who have dedicated decades of their lives to being cool, and often their central nervous systems as well.
