What if the Britpop movement of the 90's never got going? Imagine, no Oasis, Blur, Suede or Pulp in the charts *shudders*
What would take the place of this movement? Perhaps a second coming for Madchester? A stronger wave of Shoegazing?
What would happen to the key players? Many of the Britpop bands came from the Madchester/Baggy/Shoegazing movements.
Maybe an English wave of Grunge bands (Bush too obviously) will be dominant?
