British Invasion
The British Invasion was a phenomenon that occurred in the mid-1960s when rock and pop music acts from the United Kingdom, as well as other aspects of British culture, became popular in the United States, and significant to the rising "counterculture" on both sides of the Atlantic. Pop and rock groups such as the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five, the Kinks,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Kinks - Music Biography, Streaming Radio and Discography - AllMusic )〕 the Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, the Animals, and the Who〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Who - Music Biography, Streaming Radio and Discography - AllMusic )〕 were at the forefront of the invasion.〔Perone, James E. ''Mods, Rockers, and the Music of the British Invasion''. Westport, CT: Praeger,2009. Print.〕
== Background ==
The rebellious tone and image of US rock and roll and blues musicians became popular with British youth in the late 1950s. While early commercial attempts to replicate American rock and roll mostly failed, the trad jazz–inspired skiffle craze,〔M. Brocken, ''The British folk revival, 1944-2002'' (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2003), pp. 69-80.〕 with its 'do it yourself' attitude, was the starting point of several British Billboard singles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lonnie Donegan > Charts and Awards > Billboard singles )〕
Young British groups started to combine various British and American styles, in different parts of the U.K., such as a movement in Liverpool during 1962 in what became known as Merseybeat, hence the "beat boom".〔〔Morrison, Craig. ''American Popular Music''. British Invasion (New York: Facts on File, 2006), pp. 32-4.〕〔J. Gould, ''Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America'' (New York, Harmony Books, 2007), pp. 344-5.〕〔(When the Beatles hit America CNN February 10, 2004 ).〕 That same year featured the first three acts with British roots to reach the Hot 100's summit.
Some observers have noted that US teenagers were growing tired of singles-oriented pop acts like Fabian. The Mods and Rockers, two youth "gangs" in mid 1960s England, also had an impact in British Invasion music. Bands with a Mod aesthetic became the most popular, but bands able to balance both (e.g. the Beatles) were also successful.
