Etymology
Brit- + pop

Proper noun
Britpop

#A British alternative rock movement from the mid 90s, characterised with the appearance of bands who borrowed many influences from 60s and 70s while creating big and catchy hooks, as well as the glamour of earlier pop stardom and the sense that they were creating the soundtrack to the lives of a new generation of British youth. Music from the band Blur is probably the most famous example of britpop.
