ECHO乐团主唱柏苍有特地写信问Q mag的主笔，关於Brit Pop的 ”定义”如下，原信转录给网友们看。 From: Q4Music Editor Sent: Friday, March 9, 2001 4:12 pm To: Q4Music Editor Subject: RE: The Definition of Brit-pop??? "Britpop" tends to refer to an upsurge in guitar-based UK pop between the years 1994-1997. In style it was a rejection of US grunge, either deliberately so (Blur) or not (Oasis), and tended to hark back to UK pop paradigms: Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Small Faces, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Wire, etc., etc. Sales of previously classified "indie" bands surged so significantly in the UK during this period (partly stoked by the prevalence of this sort of music on the radio - especially BBC Radio 1 and on British television) that the press heralded a kind of UK pop renaissance, hence Britpop. In retrospect, the bands we called Britpop weren't stylistically that similar... and some of them were just rubbish. And when radio turned away from guitars towards teenpop and people began to feel embarrassed about their Sleeper and Cast albums, "Britpop" as a media concept fell apart. Hope that helps.
