And where better to start than with the new GCSE in music which from September will, says the Guardian, include a new module in Britpop.
Of course, this will be a doddle for songbirds, who will only need to remember three chords instead of 2,000 different melodies to get an A.
But for the non-feathered pupils, it may be more of a challenge.
As Britpop expert John Harris observes, the examiners might think theyre being really cool daddy-o but Oasis, Pulp and Blur is practically the music of the pupils parents.
Oasis were gloriously basic and made a virtue of it, he says, but God help the students in the classroom taking apart the music of Kula Shaker and Northern Uproar.
Theres nothing there.’
