Britpop is a music genre that emerged in the United Kingdom in the mid-1990s, characterized by a mix of alternative rock, pop, and British cultural references. The genre was heavily influenced by the British music scene of the 1960s, particularly the Beatles and the Kinks, as well as 1970s punk rock and new wave.

Britpop bands often had a distinctively British sound and lyrical content that referenced British culture and society. Bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp, and Suede were some of the most prominent acts of the movement. Other notable Britpop acts included Supergrass, The Verve, Elastica, and Radiohead.

The peak of Britpop's popularity occurred in the mid to late 1990s, with bands like Oasis and Blur in particular achieving massive commercial success both in the UK and abroad. The media often portrayed a rivalry between Oasis and Blur, which was fueled by their chart battle in 1995 when the bands released their singles "Roll with It" and "Country House" respectively on the same day.

Britpop also had a significant cultural impact, with its distinctive fashion, art, and lifestyle choices influencing the popular culture of the time.
