Cool Britannia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cool Britannia
Cool Britannia was a period of increased pride in the culture of the United Kingdom throughout most of the 1990s inspired by 1960s pop culture. The success of Britpop and musical acts such as the Spice Girls and Oasis led to a renewed feeling of optimism in the United Kingdom following the tumultuous years of the 1970s and 1980s. It is a pun on the title of the British patriotic song "Rule, Britannia!". ==Origins of the term== The phrase "Cool Britannia" was first used in 1967 as a song title by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.〔J. Ayto, ''Movers and Shakers: a Chronology of Words that Shaped our Age'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006), ISBN 0-19-861452-7, p. 233.〕 The phrase "Cool Britannia" reappeared in early 1996 as a registered trade mark for one of Ben & Jerry's ice-creams, and as used by the media and in advertising, it seemed to capture the cultural renaissance of London at the time (as celebrated in a 1996 ''Newsweek'' magazine cover headlined "London Rules".〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://niertt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/newsweek.html )〕 The election of Tony Blair's Labour government in 1997, seen by some as young, cool and very appealing, was a main driving force in giving Britain a feeling of euphoria and optimism.〔("Cool Britannia" ). BBC News. Retrieved 3 February 2015〕 The use of this term was similar to that of "Swinging London" for the boom in art, fashion and popular music during the early years of Harold Wilson's Labour government. Such a parallel was apt as, like Blair, Wilson was considered a relatively young Prime Minister, his administration ended an extended period of Conservative governments (tarnished in the latter period by scandal), and his early tenure coincided with a period of economic prosperity. Many of the creative industries labelled as Cool Britannia were avowedly inspired by the music, fashion and art of the 1960s.
