This is a great interview, esp the bit on Britpop. ‘There was also Björk, trip-hop, electronic music, drum and bass, R&B, reggae and a massive rock industry? It’s almost like everything else that happened was erased by the success of Oasis.’ https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/sep/06/skin-interview-skunk-anansie-britpop-racism-sexuality-new-book?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other">https://www.theguardian.com/music/202...

Such a great band, and so much of britpop was so conservative by comparison. There wasn’t much transgression going on and a lot of it hasn’t aged well imho, even if it was the sound of my teenage years. Pulp stand out as an obvious exception, but they’d been around ages already

(I don’t mean the stuff she lists as examples, I mean the white indie boy bands it’s remembers for)
