Description
British rock emerged from the UK's vibrant music scene, blending guitar-driven melodies with distinctly British lyrical wit and social commentary. The sound ranges from jangly indie pop to anthemic stadium rock, unified by sharp songwriting and melodic hooks. It reflects Britain's working-class roots and urban culture across generations.
