Britpop is my favorite genre of music, for some reason, in modern music, the Brits just had more soul and passion as the US rock of the 90s and 2000's with a few exceptions, ie Nirvana. It was always a personal opinion this was such because the UK stresses music more the US. Top of the Pops was such an important show, young Brits spent more time listening to old US soul music while the US kids were playing video games or watching MTV Beach shows
