Britpop blew up in the mid-90s, turning Suede’s swoony melancholia and the Blur vs. Oasis chart wars into a full-on cultural takeover. This video traces eight landmark tracks—from The Kinks’ sixties classics to Blur’s chart-topping anthems—that laid the groundwork for indie guitar music to become bona fide pop, cherry-picking riffs, hooks, and cheeky British swagger along the way.
Packed with fun fact-checks, a slick timeline of influences (Kinks → Mott The Hoople → The Jam → XTC → The Smiths → The La’s → Suede → Blur), and a soundtrack that keeps things buzzing, it’s a whistle-stop history lesson on how a handful of great songs rewrote the rules of UK guitar music.
