A few years earlier Blur had come out with "There No Other Way" a baggy hit with Manchester undertones. Then they kind of disappeared. Well we didn't hear much over here in Oz.
Then we starting hearing about Britpop. And the first major single release of this new movement was Boys and Girls. And what a great peice of indie dancefloor filler it was. The crowd bounced and pogoed to this mash up of disco and indie. wait, there's more. We got the video and the press articles and here was a bunch of lads in almost Mod wear. Definitely a touch of UK sixties/ seventies style.
Then suddenly the Union jack was everywhere. and Brit cult style was in vogue.And the Avengers and all those cool UK shows were revived. And some good records came out and some rubbish. And before long everybody hated Britpop.
I thought it was great time. I can't think of any movements since. well none with a tag anyway.
