Britpop

Britpop is a sub genre that originated in the UK independent music scene during the early 90's. It was largely in reaction to Grunge which was so popular in the states. Britpop drew a lot from the pop music of the 60's and 70's, and was mostly original, catchy music performed by groups. There was a lot of reference to pop culture of the time and places in the UK, to draw in the young listeners. 

One of the most well known  Britpop songs here, is Wonderwall by Oasis.

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
