@past_with_pete: The final, wildest moment in Britpop history: the Richie Edwards "4 REAL" incident. The Manic Street Preachers put Welsh music on the map in the early 1990s. Their blend of heavy rock and Britpop with political, philosophical and social commentary struck a chord with a wider audience. But their songwriter and "spokesman", Richie Edwards, was a soul tortured by his demons. He confessed to having been depressed, he self harmed regularly, sometimes on stage during gigs. And thus set the stage for something which would take Britpop in an entirely darker direction. #historymeme #History #britpop #Wales
