He may have strummed the guitar in one of the peak Britpop bands but 25 years on the Blur musician-turned solo star apparently does not look back at the period of music through rose- tinted John Lennon-style spectacles.

Coxon is preparing to tour the US solo, playing music from his recent soundtrack to the drama series End of the F***ing World, as well as his solo material and one or two Blur tracks.

In a new interview with the Guardian, he remembers the time as being "a bit fake".

"Everything seemed fake 60s: Union Jack guitars, the news, the Labour party. It was all a bit, um… what’s that chipboard covered with plastic? Melamine. It was all a bit like that."

In the mid 90s, his band were almost permanently locked into a tabloid fuelled battle with Oasis. But Coxon insists the best music was coming from the US.

"Talking as a guitar player, Britpop for me was dull... No one was doing anything interesting with a guitar. Of course, Jonny Greenwood was, Radiohead, but for the majority of it, it was just drongos who were there to back up a female vocalist.”

Still, great haircuts.
