About the Book:

Remember the ninteties? Of course you do. Cool Britannia, New Labour, Blur vs Oasis, Geri Halliwell's Union Flag dress, TFI Friday, wasssssuuuuuuppppppp , Opal Fruits turning into Starburst without anyone asking your permission. Crazy times. This book doesn't have anything to say about Geri's dress or Opal Fruits but it has lots to say about Britpop, told through the experiences of someone who was there from the first note of Popscene through to the run out groove of This is Hardcore.
