What ever happened to Britpop?

"The Brit Box" evokes an era of pale, sensitive, eyelinered boys -- and the Anglophiles who loved them.

    "i'll never / i'll never / i'll never / stop loving / the britbox / the britbox / the britbox"

    hey fer sure this is an incendiary, inspired article and thread on this subject. the question of whether britpop is racist goes back as far as i can remember, e.g., when one of the NME critic geniuses accused the pretenders in 1981 of not being able to play "jah music". like they were experts on that. :)

    but as an old morrisey fan all i want to know is, where i can submit a youtube promotional video for this box set? i already have my tribute worked out in my mind, as per the subject line.

    c'mon, "ask me ask me ask me" :)
