I guess Britpop is just 6 bands from 1993 to 1997. What a stupid useless term then.
i have no horse in the race here but seems like it either falls down to having an overly broad term that just means tons of british rock from a massive period or only a handful that fit certain criteria within a tiny era
Hes got out the screen record on a monday night arguing about microgenres
Lol but I thought it wasn’t a genre, it was a period of time…

it was a time as well as a genre

Yeah I also restricted it to a time. I start with The Stone Roses and end with the last Pulp record before the revival. Like I said, I just view it as the 4th wave of British rock/pop music. I think anything else is too limiting to the point of being a useless signifier. I also don’t get how Elastica counts by your definition then, as they’re just like a punk band more influenced by Wire and the less jangly non melodic sounding stuff from The Pretenders?
Its rooted in quintesentially british pop music like itchycoo park, paul mccartney, paul weller, glam, pub rock, mod and in "swinging london" 60s/70s era uk archetypes like mods and people like oliver reed richard harris pre multiculturalism pre thatcher britain plus lad culture and boozing idk
Anglocentric lyrics and style rooted in quintesentially british pop stylings (glam, swinging london, beatles, bowie, small faces, kinks etc.) - goodbye teenage fanclub which sound like the byrds and big star
Massively popular in england across class divides (tho mainly white) - goodbye xtc
Americans did not get it
Riffs and hooks
Lyrics about drinking and s***and partying with a kitchen sink realism style
Do you think Verve fits your description
non english brits cant really be britpop like that or just too rare?
any scottish britpoppers
Them were still British Invasion
Rick davies died rip

I've never had a clue what anybody in the band was named tbh. Great band but super anonymous.
