Have to disagree with this redirect - Britrock was never used as a synonym for Britpop, at least not in the UK. Britrock was, as I recall, a term used principally by Kerrang! magazine (a rock/metal publication) in the mid-late 1990s, possibly as an attempt to pull alongside the Britpop bandwagon, or else as a reaction against it. Britrock seemed to be used as an umbrella term for any British rock bands who happened to be around at the time - examples included The Almighty, Terrorvision, Skin, The Wildhearts, 3 Colours Red, Honeycrack, Feeder and Baby Chaos - but it should be noted that many of these bands had a more commercial sound than traditional metal bands (Iron Maiden et al), and several crossed over into the mainstream, with varying commercial success. Many promising 'Britrock' bands were dropped by impatient record labels and never achieved their potential. I don't yet have any sources to back this up but I'm working on it.

Oh, OK. I just saw the (What's the Story) Morning Glory? article listed "Britrock" as it's only genre, and since Oasis is pretty much the biggest "Britpop" band I assumed it was the same thing and changed the redirect. Never mind.--AmitTheSomthing 18:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-18T18:27:00.000Z","author":"AmitTheSomthing","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-AmitTheSomthing-2007-08-18T18:27:00.000Z-Jameboy-2007-03-03T01:02:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
