Blur’s biggest single. A cartoon about excess that accidentally became one.

Oasis’s 1995 single. Or how to lose a battle but win the war.

The Blur vs Oasis rivalry sits at the chaotic centre of Britpop, fusing sharp songwriting with a media-fuelled clash of class, region, and attitude. More than just a chart battle, it distilled everything Britpop stood for and still offers a jagged window into the energy, arrogance, and absurdity of 1990s Britain.
