What ever happened to Britpop?

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

    Morrisey's remarks.

    I wonder how different this article would be if Morissey hadn't made those clumsy remarks recently. It probably would have changed the whole white music / black music theme. It is ironic that this article ends up segregating music just as much as the musicians do.

    I also take issue with the interpretations of "Panic's" "hang the DJ" lyric. I don't think Morissey was talking about a hip hop or house DJ but rather a radio DJ. He was talking about how music on the radio had nothing to do with his life, not "black music."
