Description

We're taking a look back at the glorious days of Britpop. That incredible time in the 90's which lasted about  6 years where it seemed Cool Britannia ruled the airwaves and everyone was having a great time!

London was swinging again and British acts were selling tens of millions of albums the world over. It was fresh, it was fun, and it was cool.

And then it was over...collapsed by the weight of over exposure, boredom, and drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.

Let's take a look back to see how this all happened.
