Britpopper traits (stolen from others):
* Born mid-1960s, give or take few years
* Parents originally from t& #39;north, raised lower-middle class in the provinces, went to a & #39;bog-standard comprehensive& #39;, then to a [Russell Group university], moved to London after graduating

* Got a job in something vaguely middle-class that wasn& #39;t high finance (those people are & #39;fatcats& #39; but & #39;impressive& #39;).
* Upward-mobility is not about doing well for yourself or improving the country, but rather about rather about vaguely & #39;sticking it to the elite& #39;, ho ho!

* Thatcher was & #39;nasty& #39; to t& #39;north, but still & #39;impressive& #39;. Benefited from the boom in London and see hope in the & #39;knowledge economy& #39; and & #39;cool Britannia& #39;; those & #39;bankers& #39; and their & #39;bonuses& #39; are "sinister" yet "impressive", and stuck it to the man (the traditional Eton Tories).
* Politics is a game, and the job of the media is to act as a Greek chorus to the "crazy rigmarole that is British politics :)".
* Blair slightly & #39;dark& #39; but & #39;impressive& #39;; quite right that he had a spindoctor and obsessed over what the media thought

* Aversion to genuine high culture; somewhat feigned and artificial interest in football; & #39;the pub& #39; (they haven& #39;t gone more than a few times since they had children); and pop music.
* If they do watch & #39;high culture& #39;, it needs to subvert it. A black man as Hamlet? Radical!

* China & #39;impressive& #39;; Germany & #39;impressive& #39;; Obama & #39;impressive& #39;; France & #39;not impressive& #39;; Japan & #39;weird, no longer impressive& #39;; Africa & #39;not impressive& #39;; India & #39;not impressive& #39;; The City, Blair & #39;impressive but slightly & #39;dark& #39;& #39;.
* Favourite things: Blair winning in 1997; Oasis& #39; & #39;Definitely Maybe& #39;; 2012 Opening Ceremony
* Objectively one of the worst educated and least competent (yet somehow one of the wealthiest, though not as wealthy as those a bit older than them) in British history, falling between the grammar school era and the post-1990s bipartisan efforts for improvements in education
* The European Union is & #39;sensible& #39; but & #39;not impressive& #39;; however, some of the institutions within the EU, especially the Commission and other undemocratic aspects, are in fact & #39;impressive& #39; as seen from their interpretation of the Brexit negotiations

...they don& #39;t want to be seen as being & #39;proud to be from Sheffield& #39; - that& #39;s too lizard-brained - but they like to talk about it to emphasise their difference".
