Britpop also emerged as a major force in the early 90s and reflected the lives of British youth. By the end of the decade the trend was towards a more rock based music.

Boy bands and girl groups were starting to dominate the charts by the mid-90s with the Spice Girls proving commercially successful on both sides of the Atlantic.

Many artists emerged from the teen acts and built successful solo careers.
