The Rise and Decline of British Music Dominance

Описание: For over a century, the United Kingdom helped shape the soundtrack of the modern world. From skiffle and the British Invasion to punk, synth-pop, Britpop, and electronic music, British artists didn’t just produce hits — they built genres and the infrastructure that defined how global pop music travels.

But dominance never lasts forever.

This documentary explores the hidden system behind Britain’s musical power — and the structural shifts that are quietly reshaping the global soundscape.

Why did so many groundbreaking genres emerge from British cities?
How did institutions like broadcasting, art schools, independent labels, and the music press create a cultural export machine?
