Why did Britoids stop making good music? Most of the great classic rock bands were British and most of the good 80’s Synth pop and New Wave was British then the 90’s hit and they just fell off of a cliff. What happened culturally to cause this?

rap happened obviously. rap was an asteroid smashing into the music industry.

In the early 90's the rave scene happened and everyone was doing E and making insanely boring dance music that was easy for drugged up mongs to dance to, then Brit pop happened which was good but it looked back rather than forward which isn't good for a culture. Then we had some good music things in the 90's like Trip hop and Drum and Bass but they never captured the culture assigning a lifestyle, aesethic and imagine to their genres like rock and hip hop did.

In the 2000's american hip hop utterly dominated and became the new cool genre with it's own lifestyle, aesethic, fashion, slang etc and it simply can't be remixed by Brits like other Americans because the culture is so centred on low class black american ghetto scumbaggery. Now we have a massive second generation immigrant population with an identity crisis who larp as black yanks but no one is going to play along with them.

I also think stuff like ageing population and less nightlife has had an effect too, so a bunch of things.

Maybe in the UK but not in terms of export, British 90s music is basically remembered as wonderwall and the spice girls

The Sisters of Mercy are what the ’80s in British music mean to me.

massive attack were better and more influential than 90% of the dad rock constantly lauded over

british music in the 80s was so op, tears for fears depeche mode, the police, duran duran, kate bush, the smiths, dire straights, the eurythmics, new order, joy division, siouxsie and the banshees, the cure, the cocteau twins, queen i was an amazing time

your post wasnt about export, it was about quality
the most popular music globally from the 2000s to the present day was complete dogshit
as far as british music in the 90s goes youve already had some examples: slowdive, prodigy, stereolab. to add to that, blur, radiohead, pulp, MBV, are all good

if your question was "Why did Britoids stop making globally popular music?" well this post >>215785118 is a good answer

Unfinished Sympathy is better than both

>>215785877
blue lines and mezzanine are both 10/10 albums
unfinished sympathy was one of the best songs of the 90s

I really like this song, you can hear them trying to blend all the sounds of the time to make something unique.

It's also cool hearing them rap Britishly without doing a Caribbean accent, the failure of trip hop to become a proper cultural force was a great lost opportunity

Because they were on the wrong side of WW. Simple as. You can make up all kinds of reasons, it will always loop back to that original reason. Or should I say "treason".

Britain would be a homogenous empire today with 300 million people and a great music industry if they accepted Hitlers generous terms.

They chose to be Americas bitch, instead of being Germany's queen. A tale as old as time.
