WikipediaThe movement was soon dubbed Britpop. The term „Britpop“ had been used in the late 1980s (in Sounds magazine by journalist, Goldblade frontman and TV pundit John Robb referring to bands such as The La’s, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets and The Bridewell Taxis). „Britpop“ arose around the same time as the term „Britart“ (which referred to the work of British modern artists such as Damien Hirst). However, it would not be until 1994 when the term entered the popular consciousness, being used extensively by the music press and radio DJs. Its influence was recognised by an article in The Guardian in which the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary declared „Britpop“ as the new word which best exemplified 1995.
