The second summer of love in '88 was the most important era in modern European music culture as it took the American based house and techno and fused it with European attitudes, prowess and compositional excellence to forefront the run of the music that followed on through the rave era, the 90s progression of techno, house, and of course breakbeat hardcore, jungle and all the genres and fusions that followed
Dance music of the 1990s largely rejected the simple, jovial, hedonistic approach to body movement that had ruled since James Brown invented funk music in the 1960s. Disco, techno and house had simply imported new technologies (both for rhythm and arrangements) into the paradigm of funk. The 1990s continued that process, one of the most important ideas to come out of Britain was jungle or drum & bass, a syncopated, polyrhythmic and frantic variant of house, a fusion of hip-hop and techno that relied on extremely fast drum-machines, epileptic breakbeats and huge bass lines.
Few genres of popular music underwent so many changes and reached such ambitious heights as jungle did. Within a few years, jungle musicians were already composing abstract and ambient pieces, integrating breakbeats with pop vocals, adopting jazz improvisation Thanks to ever more intricate beats and to free structures borrowed from jazz, jungle music rapidly became the foundation for a new kind of avantgarde music, pursued by the most austere of the genre's visionaries
It both cemented the death of and proved without doubt that outside of America, the dark ages of rock were dead and the white mans attempts at stealing the great music of the blacks was merely a passing fad and the progression of funk, soul and rhythm and blues, and via proxy, the music of Jamaica and the influence of hip hop on dance music and indeed hip hop itself showed that electronic music was the natural progression and the rock of the 60s and 70s was a waste of time and a step backwards in music progression

Yeah yeah.
You take from American culture and call it your own, AKA every cultural movement of Europe from the past 100 years.

>>73552740
Of course it's shit. That's not the point. The point is that the geetah and rock were still dominant in popular music in Britain.
>Britpop is a subset of Alternative Rock

Britpop couldn't even get popular on a global scale, it was some gay European trend in the 90s.
You're inflating your importance again.

We didn't care who else listened to it.

You can't dismiss the huge amount of records sold, hype generated in the press, and social impact of bands like Oasis, Blur, Spice Girls, and Radiohead as some fluke. It was shit, and you dumb Brits ate it right up. Britpop was at least equally popular to bleeps, if not much more do. Again, you're diminishing it because it doesn't fit your narrative.
>>73552943
Of course bleep singles sold well. Tons of DJs were buying them. Normies buy albums. Scroll down a bit and see what normies were buying. Not bleeps.

Just because you know more doesn't change 99% of people only know Blur, Oasis and Pulp.
>>
>>73553720
Because 99% of people on this board, like you, weren't there and believe every revisionist story they read. Britpop was massive, all round the world, still is, look at last.fm for the numbers of actual people listening to it, not american press that was jealous because Britain dominated the world culturally in the 1990s. Please go back to your shitty nirvana, dubstep, EDM, and grime or whatever.
