1. Post-grunge mainstreaming of the alternative (insert quote marks as desired). I didn't think it was a good thing, but I did think it Changed Everything Forever.
2. Not really. My favourite era ever was britpop, but it was less a glorious thousand year reich than this is fvcking brilliant music to be young (~20) to. Seeds of it's downfall enthusiastically hailed etc - why should our younger siblings have it when it was ours?
3. All of it! Dance Music/hip hop/noo romanticism/SAW - I might not have officially approved of all of it, but the sense of everything heading outwards at once was very powerful.
