did anyone enjoy the worst of britpop Spotify playlist?
― ۩, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 14:26 (nine years ago) link
you can add to it if you think we missed anything. Try not to load it with the same bands though. No more than 2 or 3 songs per band please.http://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/0y0gMIOGyKaqj70K3eEprxorspotify:user:pfunkboy:playlist:0y0gMIOGyKaqj70K3eEprx

Apparently so! This clip is meant to be from '96. Didn't see it at the time, though.

Toploader were shite, but I didn't really consider them to be part of that whole thing.

Yeesh. That must have been from the last series of spitting image, and kind of sums up how stale it had got.
Last word on britpop in comedy comes from the immortal fast show dyad:

I posted the 'Colon'/'Indie Club' video above, but I'd totally forgotten about the 'Mr. Wells' sketch! Totally classic.

re: this http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/culturehousedaily/2014/04/britpop-25-years-on-how-do-blur-and-oasis-fans-vote/
"But according to the polling, 24 per cent of Blur fans vote Lib Dem — the largest minority — while a third of Oasis fans vote Labour..."
This sounded suspiciously wrong to me, given that hardly anyone supports the Lib Dems any more, and then the graph in the article looks even more wrong, with Blur supporters supposedly lining up as Lib Dem 24%, Labour 15%, Conservative 14% and UKIP 12% (which still leaves 35% unaccounted for). So I had a look at the data in the YouGov link and I don't get anything like those figures. It comes out Blur - Lab 41%, Con 32%, LD 14%, UKIP 12%; Oasis - Lab 47%, Con 37%, LD 4%, UKIP 12%. I just don't know where on earth the article gets its figures from.
(I know, I really shouldn't care)

Technically not Britpop, but French and Saunders doing The Cranberries

Chris Morris' parody of the Pixies (entitled 'Motherbanger') is probably the most accurate parody I've heard to date, but it doesn't really fit in this thread :/

slow on this, but:
"But according to the polling, 24 per cent of Blur fans vote Lib Dem — the largest minority — while a third of Oasis fans vote Labour..."This sounded suspiciously wrong to me, given that hardly anyone supports the Lib Dems any more, and then the graph in the article looks even more wrong, with Blur supporters supposedly lining up as Lib Dem 24%, Labour 15%, Conservative 14% and UKIP 12% (which still leaves 35% unaccounted for).

Yeah, they've egregiously misread the figures: it's not that 24% of Blur fans vote lib dem, it's that 24% of lib dem respondents prefer Blur to Oasis – which seemed the oddest spike in the results to me (as I said upthread somewhere) since Blur support runs at ~15% in most other slices, but then it occurred to me it's prob because no-one votes lib dem & so there's maybe a small sample size problem.
It's the "Who is better – Blur or Oasis?" question on the first page of the results that they've misunderstood.
(I really shouldn't care either)

at the risk of completely fouling the waters, did ilm ever have a britpop vs grunge poll?
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 2 May 2014 13:02 (nine years ago) link
Are you going to start one?
it should be nu-metal though since they both started roughly in 1994 after kurts death
― ۩, Friday, 2 May 2014 13:04 (nine years ago) link
Well, nobody really regrets Grunge, not in the same way...
― Mark G, Friday, 2 May 2014 13:09 (nine years ago) link
yeah but nu-metal xp
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 2 May 2014 13:09 (nine years ago) link
nu-metal is where the yank and britisher ilxors can come together in rare unity of hatred
― ۩, Friday, 2 May 2014 13:12 (nine years ago) link
not really any sort of effective opposition then
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 2 May 2014 13:17 (nine years ago) link
you could try post-grunge
