Jarvis Cocker<\/a> thinks the public grew tired of the “grumpiness” of Britpop stars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jarvis Cocker was a star of the Britpop era<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old musician was a figurehead of the Britpop era in the 1990s, and he’s explained why the public fell out of love with the genre.<\/p>\n

Jarvis – who enjoyed significant success with Pulp<\/a> in the 90s – told the ‘Rise And Fall Of Britpop’ podcast: “[Britpop] had this euphoria of thinking, ‘Yeah, we’re the snotty kids and we’re finally getting to go centre stage.’<\/p>\n

“Then everybody was drinking too much and getting a hangover – and then, of course, people don’t want to buy records by hungover people.<\/p>\n

“Then the Spice Girls<\/a> and Robbie Williams appeared and they did some of the same things, but without the grumpiness.<\/p>\n

\n“The record-buying public – and I don’t blame them at all – just thought, all right, let’s get rid of these misery guts. And so that was the end of it.”<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, Jarvis previously confessed to being too intense early in his career.<\/p>\n

\nThe musician thinks he’s benefited from adopting a more “casual” approach to his work in recent years.<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘Common People’ hitmaker – who has also enjoyed success as a solo artist – told The Independent: “It’s kind of like if you really want someone to date you.<\/p>\n

\n“If you’re kind of really serious about it, and hang around outside their house, you probably will get a restraining order put on you.”<\/p>\n

\nJarvis was desperate for success during his early years in the music business. But over time, he’s learned to be more relaxed in his approach.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “It’s not the way. You need to be a bit more casual about it. It took me a long time to learn that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
