Apple Music has a nice “British Invasion” playlist. I was also surprised occasionally to see that somebody I thought was American was British. The only clique I recall — in jr. hi, since I’m so old — was Beatles vs. Stones. Or maybe the folks who liked The Beach Boys as a genuine US group. Or Dylan if they were self-consciously hip. In college a friend introduced me to classical music and as a result I have a 10-year gap in my popular music experience, regardless or which side of the pond they came from.
The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.
In school as a young teen ager, we has two groups....the Beatles fans and the Dave Clark Five fans, which I was one of. In your youth did you have different cliques (I am thinking high school) based on what bands/singers they liked? I was also in the minority by being a Del Shannon fan. (yes, I am a dinosaur! ). Thankfully I aged into Jazz and Classical for the most part, but did enjoy some popular music in the 80s. And you?
