Pulp is a British alternative rock band formed in Sheffield in 1978, best known for their witty, satirical lyrics and their portrayal of British working-class life. Led by frontman Jarvis Cocker, the band initially gained popularity in the early 1990s with the release of their album His 'n' Hers(1994), but it was their 1995 album Different Class that catapulted them to international fame. The album produced hits like "Common People" and "Disco 2000," which became anthems of the Britpop era, blending catchy melodies with sharp social commentary.
The band’s style mixed indie rock with elements of disco, glam, and punk, while Cocker’s distinctive voice and insightful lyrics about class, desire, and alienation set them apart. Their influence on both the Britpop movement and the broader indie music scene remains significant.
