intro wording not good


British group of TheNineties, named after the character in ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird'', who started as a {{Shoegazing}} band, became eclectic experimentalists, were briefly (and against their will) co-opted into the {{Britpop}} movement, and showed more Rock-ist tendencies towards the end. Most remembered by the general public for the hit "Wake Up Boo!".

While definitely considered part of the first wave of shoegaze bands, they lasted ''much'' longer than most of their contemporaries (Music/CatherineWheel being the only band that would last into the 2000s, Music/MyBloodyValentine aside). Depending on what popular music history buff you talk to, they'll either mark their break up, or Catherine Wheel's break up as the marker between First Wave and Second Wave shoegaze bands (or, to complicate things even more, the release of Music/MyVitriol's ''Finelines'' in 2001). They reunited in 2021 without original guitarist Martin Carr, and released a single, "A Full Syringe and Memories of You", their first new music since 1998.

* RefrainFromAssuming: The prevalence of non-appearing titles leads to quite a bit of this. And then of course there's "Wake up, it's a beautiful morning...", though at least that starts with the same two words as the actual title.
