Britpop's Golden Era
Thirty years ago, Britain saw a cultural resurgence not witnessed since the 1960s. Britpop, a term for the revival of British guitar bands and broader British culture, began in the early 1990s and peaked around 1996. Acts like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Elastica, and Supergrass became the biggest names, capturing public attention with their music and antics.
These bands dominated not only music press but also tabloids, lads' magazines, and serious newspapers. For a few mid-90s years, Britpop was everywhere.
