About

Britpop crystallised around 1994 to 1997 as a self-conscious British answer to American grunge dominance, channelling the swagger of 1960s mod and the terrace casual of football fandom into a wardrobe accessible from any high-street menswear shop. Oasis pulled the working-class Manchester casuals look — Stone Island, Henri Lloyd, Adidas Originals — onto Top of the Pops, while Blur leaned into a cleaner south London mod with Fred Perry polos, Harringtons, and cuffed jeans. Pulp's Jarvis Cocker provided the dandy outlier in charity-shop suits. Liam Gallagher's olive parka has been canonised through Pretty Green and ongoing reunion-tour merchandise. The 2024 Oasis reunion announcement triggered the largest spike in 'Britpop' Depop searches in five years, with vintage Adidas Gazelles, Lacoste track tops, and parkas all moving fast.

Not Madchester — britpop tightens the silhouette into mod tailoring and parkas, while Madchester ran loose, baggy, and rave-adjacent.
