Britpop emerged in 1990s Britain as a guitar-driven alternative rock movement celebrating British culture and working-class life. The sound blended catchy melodies with jangly guitars, drawing inspiration from 1960s British rock while rejecting American grunge. It emphasized witty lyrics, anthemic choruses, and a distinctly British identity.
