#GenreoftheWeek Britpop
This week has been Britpop week at Nowhere Bros. I have been posting daily about Britpop, its history, its artists and its legacy.
Below is a list of the songs I posted. Although it is not a definitive playlist, it is a starting point for getting into Britpop, or re-familiarizing yourself with Britpop, twenty years on. There are of course plenty more tracks out there as well.
It has been a wonderful week posting about Britpop, and indeed reminiscing about the music of my youth. Karl is back this coming week with a new genre. Should be good... see you in a week.

I have also created a Spotify Playlist for this weeks genre as well. Spotify/Britpop
