Britpop

Britpop is a UK based musical and cultural movement which began in the 1990s. Emphasising 'Britishness', it was associated with bright pop and rock music and was seen as a response to the darker grunge music of US bands such as Nirvana.

Oasis are closely associated with the Britpop movement and- alongside Blur, Suede and Pulp- are considered one of its 'big four'.
