- This week EDGE has been making conga lines out of coca-cola cans, and has also been discussing that curious moment in the mid 90's when BRITAIN was briefly the most culturally relevant country in the western world. Course now it's about as relevant as your dads myspace page, so what went wrong? What caused the rise and fall of britpop?

Hre's that Britpop Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLVOenE501vsKakxIczr3D9vnHfQOF3LPH.html
You're a cretin
I, as a Blur fan, hate how the Brit pop crowd has so much hatred and controversy, just why not enjoy the music and not judge anyone for their choice
to be honest, I think it's more the 'Stone Island warriors' that bring hate, cos britpop is a brilliant genre of music, one of the best imo. just some absolute idiots attaching themselves to it 🤘🏻
Manic Street Preachers, Supergrass, The Seahorses, The Charlatans, The Verve, Suede (they had some 5-6 albums after their debut, especially the "Coming Up" album!), Cast, Travis, Echobelly, Stereophonics etc. - all these were Britpop in the 1995-1999 era.
Elastica too
And Salad
Space, Ash, Longpigs definitely. Super Furry Animals and Kenickie also in that sphere of influence.
But more than those the band who haven't been mentioned who I remember being seen as kind of emblematic of Britpop _at the time_ (alongside Blur, Oasis and Supergrass) were Ocean Colour Scene.
oasis used all their best songs that should have been their third album as b-sides for whats the story singles.
as an american, my obsession with oasis and the gallagher brothers will never die...fan for life
Prime Oasis is still a GOAT level band. Most bands have all their hits scattered across their complete discography but Oasis put out 2 or 3 bands' greatest hits inside of 4 years 94 - 98. And even though the rest of their discography is Silver age material, they still had BRILLIANT songs on those post Classic era records.
Oasis is bigger then all of these bands combined in record sales which is baffling
I like Oasis but to be honest they sound very dated on the radio in 2023. Their sound is stuck in the mid 90's as they never really evolved like Blur and other bands from that time. I rarely listen to Oasis and when I do it's their first two albums and nothing after that as noel is a good but very one dimensional songwriter when in Oasis (he has matured since as he got older) Blurs new album is brilliant
I'm 14 years old and Oasis have been my favourite band for a few years now! Just proves how good they are
In what way does it prove how good they are?...you are 14 and therefor you know absolutely nothing about anything!..sorry but it is a fact@@diesel.power.
@@thomasandersen6719 I meant that it proves that people as young as me still listen to bands like oasis, meaning that they are still great today!
in my personal and very controversial opinion, Blur deserves the success Oasis has, Pulp deserves the success Blur has, if not more, and Oasis is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to do whatever
your design choices and aesthetics are insanely good ngl!! you man got style for real
Where’s the verve? They’re britpop right
They got big in 97
they are indeed Britpop but they are something more, Britpop royalty
No. They were about as Britpop as Radiohead. Never really part of the whole scene.
Only urban hymns is britpop and even then thats a stretch cause a lot of it is dreampop rock and shoegaze influences, a northern soul is dark rock northern soul and shoegaze and storm in heaven is dreampop and shoegaze
@@jamesdeanseternaldreams2232 A Northern Soul isn’t Northern Soul. It couldn’t be further from that. Northern Soul is literally like Motown.
AHH im sorry but just saying Suede "exist" infuriated me I couldnt finish 😂
Nothing like watching a britboy rambling about britpop.
That was seriously a great lil vid, and like others said I like your style! Got yourself a new sub, cheers.
Well done on your work! Insightful and great imagery!
belter video mate , really well made and enjoyed it.
I love this video so much, just subscribed
The Stone Roses first album captured the feeling of a great new youth scene.
Wow,such interesting video. Thank you, i was pleased
Seriously underrated dude 😭🙏🙏
I’d love to see this type of video made about Radiohead, because while yeah, so much has been said about them that it’s hard to not repeat overstated points, but c’mon man, just look at Jonny Greenwood - He’s the one true British treasure (aside from Thom Yorke’s voice and every member of Radiohead’s individual side projects).
This channel is underrated asf not even 1k subs is criminal
amazing vid mate keep it up
Until watching this video, I thought my level of english was alright, you sir and your accent put quite a challenge for a non native speaker like me. Thank God for the subtítulos lptm buen video :)
Just discovered your channel, massively underrated
And there it is! A perfect, honest and heartfelt opinion about britpop and its history.
I guess I'm going to be that portugueses subscriber... anyway, amazing work
Great video man
This is so well made, you should make videos like this about other genres too
👀
This is a great video and i can tell you had put a lot of effort into it i will use it as inspiration for the types of videos o want to make
I like this guy's style, good video dude
Nice one. Cheers
Was The Verve not as big in the UK? I lived through Britpop being the trendy imported beer of Alternative Rock in the 90s and The Verve were bigger than Blur, Elastica, Pulp and The London Suede (as we called them).
The Verve are undoubtedly bigger than the other three, but not so sure about blur.
The idea that nothing was going on with English bands in the 1980s is crazy. You had Echo & the Bunnymen, New Order, Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, The Raincoats, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Gang of Four, Wire, The Clash, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Japan, PiL, Psychedelic Furs, Bauhaus (later Love & Rockets), Lush, Yazoo, Depeche Mode, Bill Nelson's bands, Gary Numan, Simple Minds, Ultravox, XTC, and Howard Devoto's various bands to name some.
this is 100k+ subs content right here
Why is Kurt Cobain in the frickin thumbnail?😂
Views
I can't find it anymore, but there was some Battle of Britpop retrospective that said Blur called Oasis "Oasis-quo" and Oasis called Blur "a bunch of middle class art students." Says it all lol
Nice style, you BRI-EE-SHHH guy!) Not much of a new info, but I truly enjoyed your approach. Although, you sounded like a team Oasis most of a video, but finished in an honest manner 🌚 Subscribed!
The 90's also had the greatest "supergroup" of all time: Electronic
Yas! I grew up in corn-fed Ohio in the 80s/ 90s and hated grunge. Britpop was my jam! Plus the book store near the mall carried Kerrang! NME and all the others I can't remember right this instance to help fuel my fascination!
my FAVORITE bands from this time are Catatonia, Supergrass, Gene, Super Furry Animals, and Space 🙏
do one ab trip hop! love the vid :)
Im only like 3 minutes in but my god THANK YOU. Everyone says the 80s was the best decade for music and ive never gotten the hype behind it 😅 always found the 60s and 90s to be the most fruitful, and a lot of the 2010s and 2020s so far too
Bro 80s pop was the fucking best
Did I just see Kurt cobain in the thumbnail?
90s KROQ and college radio KCRW in Los Angeles championed the Stone Roses, Blur, Suede.
killer video
It's up to us to make Britain a cultural superpower again
I'm one of the few massive lifelong oasis fans in the US
2:47 is that I Will Believe? If so that's a pretty deep cut.
1:53 Good burn there mate 👍 I think it was more Jimmy Page than the others tho. Kudos for calling him out nonetheless.
3:47 the cribs !!!!!!!
I just love your accent
Pulp are better than Oasis and Blur :)
im from south east asia and you have no idea how HUGE oasis is here
The best IELTS practice.
I moved from Canada to England in 1993, became a huge Oasis fan but... Despite being a native English speaker - I couldn't understand a word they said in interviews at the time.
Nevermind has nicked so many songs it's unreal.
Oasis didn’t seem like Brit Pop too me
Nice video. Totally wrong about the 80s: most creative decade in British music ever - every other decade is derivative. However, despite difference of opinion, I have subscribed and wait to hear more.
Interesting to see this through the eyes of someone who presumably was in very short trousers when it all went down. Not a criticism
Your host, Sir, Ronto
Agree on Live Forever should be remembered instead of Wonderwall. Im from the states Mate and am an Oasis diehard!! I was born in wrong goddamn generation too bro. We could start a rad youtube band. Once i replace all my gear anyway.
Kula shaker??
As a Smiths fan I am totally here for the Morrissey slander it’s too funny
Can you quote one morrissey lyric that is anti immigrant?

The only Brit Pop band I genuinely liked back then was Skunk Anansie, and you didn't even mention them.
im 19 and since i was 2 my da had a limewiee rip of all the classics the beatles radiohead blur oasis pink floyd
the stone roses and when i aee music today the problem is the main stream destroying rock guitar music anol i hope one day ppl will come to there senses and get rid of this fucking dealz music
Hi Edge🙂
Just watched the Britpop video today and subscribed immediately 😊
I have a suggestion for a future video. Ukraine has become a new symbol of resistance and fight for democratic values. Other symbol for this is punk music (art in general). I’d love to see a bit about Ukraine’s punk music scene post-invasion. I promise you will be impressed. Like “Death Grips in church” impressed😀
I am from Ukraine, if that matters
I like Cukor Bila Smert if you count them?
@@edgeofthemap Ukrainian industrial baroque-pop? That is a deep dive. Respect🙂 But that is too far down the art rabit hole. Too far even for your audience tbh. My main point is - post-invasion resistance music. So post 24/02/2022.
I can give you a few starting points, if you whish🤓
@@bassbich Ah I see, yes pls do
@@edgeofthemap hope it will be interesting for you😊
@@edgeofthemap man, I've done the playlist right away, but forgot to send it😅 Hope you'll enjoy it☺☺

Pls do a video talking about the 00's british indie rock scene.
*Aka Arctic Monkeys video
Peace ✌🇧🇷
♥️♥️🎸 nirvana ♥️🎸
song 2 wasnt as a joke ACTUALLY it was to take the piss out of their record company 😁
For me last brit pop album was Urban Hymns. I thought The Verve was like Oasis 2.0. And I dont understand why people hate Country House, its great song, it's difficult to find song like this. Roll With It is boring.
This video is fucking awesome
Pop music good . Melodrama best album of the 2010s / s
Great video, I'll probably watch the rest of your catalogue. And you're right. The 80s SUCKED
i love britpop (true brit from america)
Based Morrissey.
DMAs keeping it strong and they're Australian
Why the fuck is Kurt Cobain in the thumbnail?
As a kid born in the 2010's im also born in the wrong generation
19:40 Camera dies of cringe
Wtf do you know about Oasis pal you look about 12😂
Elastica = 2nd best Britpop band, Blur = 3rd
The accent though. 😬
80's was the party
90's was the hangover
Another NPC who hates Morrissey
You should get off his dick, you'll catch something nasty
Brit Pop was sh*t. Grunge was a lot more fascinating and interesting and influential and doesn't sound anywhere near as dated as Brit Pop sounds.
I lost nine years between 88-97. That was fun.
why is nirvana on the thumbnail 💀
Самое лучшее в бритпоп это Оазис!
This was some good shit.
to me Oasis isn’t even britpop. they are more of a traditional rock band with a few pop hits. they have no songs that sound like “common people” or “parklife” or “laid”
