Modern Life Is Rubbish
Hello you. Make a cup of tea, put a record on. Welcome to The A to Z of Britpop, your introduction to the bands, music, and characters that defined the most exciting genre of the 1990s. In this article, we explore Modern Life Is Rubbish, Blur’s bold second album that redefined their sound and laid the groundwork for the Britpop movement. Released in 1993, the record rejected American grunge’s dominance in favour of a distinctly British aesthetic, combining sharp satire with nostalgic charm.
