@bazzacollins BBC are touting it as 20 years but they're WRONG. Britpop coined by Melody Maker in July 1995. I remember the issue!
Radio 2 celebrating 20 years since Brit Pop. Feel old. Realise I'm listening to Radio 2. Feel older.

@Sarah_Lady Guess they're running from the mainstream arrival of Oasis/Blur. -
@bazzacollins but it's just lazy. Be like changing when punk started to '75. Loads of the 'Britpop' bands had been around for years. -
@Sarah_Lady Not sure I agree. Doesn't a movement have to have been going for a while before someone gives it a label? -
@bazzacollins I feel quite strongly about this, can you tell? -
@Sarah_Lady We used to go down to an "indie" club in Romford, of all places, to listen to Blur, Oasis etc in 94, whilst still at 6th form. -
@bazzacollins The Clash et al existed pre-76 but no one called them punk bands until they were labelled that. -
@Sarah_Lady I’m calling this the Naff Pop era, just in case it takes-off. - 2 more replies

@bazzacollins Stop griping and put your Echobelly albums on. -
@chrisfinnamore Literally just dusted down my copy of What's The Story... -
@bazzacollins Bet they interview Miki on WebUser. -
@chrisfinnamore Hope so. Actually went to one of her gigs while I was at uni in Brighton. -
@bazzacollins Sweet! One of the first singles I bought was Ladykillers. Of course, Menswear were criminally underrated. Britpop's Hard-Fi. -
@chrisfinnamore I was still unfashionably attached to U2 (I know) as Brit Pop kicked off. Bluetones' Slight Return began the conversion. -
@bazzacollins It's OK. I was still eagerly awaiting Chinese Democracy.
