But Oasis aren\u2019t the only Britpop legends reminding the world what it was like when guitar bands dominated pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are three facts about Britpop to get you up to speed on how it happened in the 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t Say the B-Word<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pulp - Common People\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yuTMWgOduFM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Oasis, Blur, and Suede, Pulp became one of Britpop\u2019s Big Four. But the band\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/the-real-life-event-behind-spike-island-by-pulp\/\">shouting-and-pointing<\/a> singer, Jarvis Cocker, who penned \u201cCommon People\u201d, one of the scene\u2019s biggest anthems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channel4.com\/news\/im-glad-the-pop-hasnt-lost-its-fizz-jarvis-cocker-on-four-decades-of-pulp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> he\u2019d rather not use the B-word. He recently told <em>Channel 4 News<\/em> that his vision for pop music is something more inclusive rather than the flag-waving nationalism of Britpop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But still you\u2019ll never get it right,<br>\u2019Cause when you\u2019re laid in bed at night.<br>Watching roaches climb the wall,<br>If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Band That Started It All<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Suede - Animal Nitrate (Remastered Official HD Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i7mEB2wnDLQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suede\u2019s front man Brett Anderson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/music\/story\/2025-09-02\/suede-britpop-oasis-antidepressants-new-album\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">puts it this way<\/a>: \u201cWe released the first Britpop album. You have to accept that.\u201d He\u2019s talking about his band\u2019s camp 1993 self-titled debut. Weeks after the album\u2019s release, Anderson appeared on the cover of <em>Select<\/em> magazine, baring his midriff overlaid with the declaration: Yanks go home! This was Britain\u2019s indie rock scene revolting against gloomy American grunge. It was enough to inspire Damon Albarn to dump Blur\u2019s outdated Madchester sound and retool his group with a heavy dose of English nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Like his dad, you know that he\u2019s had,<br>Animal nitrate in mind.<br>Oh, in your council home he jumped on your bones,<br>Now you\u2019re taking it time after time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking to America for Inspiration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blur - Song 2 (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SSbBvKaM6sk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britpop may have been a reaction to the popularity of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but that didn\u2019t stop Blur from looking to the Yanks for inspiration. After releasing Britpop touchstones like \u201cCountry House\u201d and \u201cParklife\u201d, Blur had grown tired of the scene they helped popularize. Ironically, the band landed its biggest hit, \u201cSong 2\u201d, in 1997 by adopting the sound of American indie rock bands like Pavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Woo-hoo!
