All of the previously mentioned genres of Brit rock have contributed to the style and sound of today’s modern music scene. The most dramatic success was that of Brit pop which exploded onto the British music scene in the mid 1990’s. British rock bands emerged such as Oasis, Blur and Pulp all of whom were strongly influenced by the rock, punk and progressive sounds of earlier years. Oasis was the most successful of these bands and led the way in influencing later bands to emerge on the scene. The sound developed to be more emotional and bands like Coldplay and Travis in the late 90’s. This Brit rock of the 90’s proved a turning point for the rock culture in the UK however despite huge success very few of the big names continued through to success in the new millennium.
