Britpop is a subgenre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom. The genre was at it's best in the 90's with bands like Oasis and Blur topping the charts. Britpop bands were influenced by bands from the 60's, 70's and 80's, such as The Smiths and The Beatles. Britpop focused on bands, singing in regional British accents and making references to British places and culture, particularly working class culture. The movement developed as a reaction against various musical and cultural trends in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the grunge phenomenon from the United States.

In the wake of the musical invasion into the United Kingdom of American grunge bands, new British groups such as Suede and Blur launched the movement by positioning themselves as opposing musical forces, referencing British guitar music of the past and writing about uniquely British topics and concerns. These bands were soon joined by others including Oasis, The Verve, Pulp, Placebo, Supergrass, Cast, Space, Sleeper and Elastica.

I think that the band I use for my magazine will be a britpop. It is my favourite genre and I just think people like Ian Brown and Liam Gallagher are unbelievably cool.
I have decided to use the genre of Britpop predominantly in my magazine as I feel it is severely underused in the music market and it should get more of a following in modern day.
