Well it is Brit Pop. There is a point where they start to sound like each other.

 

I don't think so, (imho, not slagging or anything) but all Brit Pop bands sound like the Beatles (and their contemporaries), not the other way round.

 

The Beatles were simply a great rock band who happened to be from Britain, revolutionised popular music and invented the majority of the tropes in popular music today- almost all of their influences were from America, so 'Brit' wasn't even 'Brit' in their music. It was into the 80s and 90s when wannabe bands came about, the Beatles/T-Rex/etc. inspired generation, made it a bit more laddish and a bit less musically quality, and started calling it 'Brit Pop'.

 

Totally biased view from a massive Beatles fan, and I've never start-to-finish listened to a proper Brit Pop album so it's not exactly fair. But that's the way I see it. As far as I'm concerned the world would be better place without Oasis, who are a brutally flawed imitation of Beatles music and soul. None of the soul and most of the popularity.

 

Music rant over!
