Description: The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/trashtheory02211 Between 1993 and 1997, music in Britain was dominated by the reign of Britpop. Copying the Small Faces and Kinks was back in vogue, everyone had a vested interest in championing either Blur or Oasis and the charts were infested with acts with names like Shed 7, Sleeper and Menswear. Emerging amongst this flag-waving rabble were the grungy, glam-splattered post punks known as Placebo. Fronted by the all-too sexual Brian Molko, they singularly led a charge against the backward-facing Britpop movement with rock music that thrilled, shocked and flirted in equal measure with songs like "Bruise Pristine," "Teenage Angst", "36 Degrees," "Pure Morning," "Every You Every Me" & "The Bitter End." But the most iconic and sleaziest of their 90s singles, "Nancy Boy," challenged gender roles and left a trail of bodily fluids in its wake.
