So I've been on a massive Britpop kick. The music was great because it was taking influences, from punk, mod, guitar rock, psych, and many other genres that appeal to me most, but yet this was a genre all its own, and almost every band in this era had a sound of their own. Unlike so many big genres in the last 100 years, the bands themselves defined Britpop, and Britpop defined them, but not by sounding like each other, but by their creativity and owning it. I'm still very fond of these years, and so therefore felt it would be a good post to accompany these great videos.
In 1995, Damon Albarn hosted a show on BBC Four called Britpop Now. Here was that episode broken into 12 video clips.
