Britpop

2018年7月20日 (金)

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk about Britpop. Britpop is a special genre of music but unlike J-pop, it is from a specific era. Brit pop is from the nineties and focused to a brighter side of rock and indie music. A cheesy example would be The Spice Girls. They were very upbeat and sang about positive things, such as girl power. I was a little young to really understand the message as I naturally thought girls already had power (hahahaha).  More common examples of Britpop would be bands such as, Oasis, Blur, Pulp and so on. Actually in a clever marketing way these bands seemed to be battling each other constantly, like rivals. It is actually argued that The Spice Girls might have killed the movement but I think they were a fun girl group. How do you feel about Japanese idols?
