These bands would form a new movement called <a href="/wiki/Grunge" title="Grunge">grunge</a>, and by far the most popular bands were <a href="/wiki/Nirvana_(band)" title="Nirvana (band)">Nirvana</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pearl_Jam" title="Pearl Jam">Pearl Jam</a>. The <i>NME</i> took to grunge very slowly ("Sounds" was the first British music paper to write about grunge with John Robb being the first to interview Nirvana.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>Melody Maker</i> was more enthusiastic early on, largely through the efforts of <a href="/wiki/Everett_True" title="Everett True">Everett True</a>, who had previously written for <i>NME</i> under the name "The Legend!"). For the most part, <i>NME</i> only became interested in grunge after <i><a href="/wiki/Nevermind" title="Nevermind">Nevermind</a></i> became popular. Although it still supported new British bands, the paper was dominated by American bands, as was the music scene in general. </p><p>Although the period from 1991 to 1993 was dominated by American bands like Nirvana, British bands were not ignored. The <i>NME</i> still covered the indie scene and was involved with a war of words with a new band called <a href="/wiki/Manic_Street_Preachers" title="Manic Street Preachers">Manic Street Preachers</a>, who were criticising the <i>NME</i> for what they saw as an elitist view of bands they would champion. This came to a head in 1991, when, during an interview with <a href="/wiki/Steve_Lamacq" title="Steve Lamacq">Steve Lamacq</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richey_James_Edwards" class="mw-redirect" title="Richey James Edwards">Richey Edwards</a> would confirm the band's position by carving "4real" into his arm with a razor blade. </p><p>By 1992, the Madchester scene had died and along with the Manics, some new British bands were beginning to appear. <a href="/wiki/Suede_(band)" title="Suede (band)">Suede</a> were quickly hailed by the paper as an alternative to the heavy grunge sound and hailed as the start of a new British music scene. Grunge, however, was still the dominant force, but the rise of new British bands would become something the paper would focus on more and more. </p><p>In 1992, the <i>NME</i> also had a very public dispute with <a href="/wiki/Morrissey" title="Morrissey">Morrissey</a> due to allegations by <i>NME</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s <a href="/wiki/Dele_Fadele" title="Dele Fadele">Dele Fadele</a> that Morrissey had used racist lyrics and imagery.<sup id="cite_ref-rh_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rh-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This erupted after a concert at <a href="/wiki/Finsbury_Park" title="Finsbury Park">Finsbury Park</a> where Morrissey was seen to drape himself in a <a href="/wiki/Union_Jack" title="Union Jack">Union Jack</a>.

The term was coined by <i>NME</i><sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Britpop began to fill the musical and cultural void left after Cobain's demise, and with Blur's success and the rise of a new group from Manchester called <a href="/wiki/Oasis_(band)" title="Oasis (band)">Oasis</a>, Britpop would continue its rise for the rest of 1994. By the end of the year, Blur and Oasis were the two biggest bands in the UK, and sales of the <i>NME</i> were increasing thanks to the Britpop effect. In 1995, <i>NME</i> covered these new bands, many of whom played the <i>NME Stage</i> at that year's <a href="/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival" title="Glastonbury Festival">Glastonbury Festival</a>, where the paper had been sponsoring the second stage at the festival since 1993. This would be its last year sponsoring the stage; subsequently, the stage would be known as the 'Other Stage'. </p><p>In August 1995, Blur and Oasis planned to release singles on the same day in a mass of media publicity. Steve Sutherland put the story on the front page of the paper, and was criticised for playing up the duel between the bands. Blur won the "race" for the top of the charts, and the resulting fallout from the publicity led to the paper enjoying increased sales during the 1990s as Britpop became the dominant genre. After this peak, the paper experienced a slow decline as Britpop burned itself out fairly rapidly over the next few years. This left the paper directionless again, and attempts to embrace the rise of DJ culture in the late 1990s only led to the paper being criticised for not supporting rock or indie music. The paper did attempt to return to its highly politicised 1980s incarnation by running a cover story in March 1998 condemning <a href="/wiki/Tony_Blair" title="Tony Blair">Tony Blair</a>, who had previously associated himself with Britpop bands such as Oasis, and this received a certain level of attention in the wider media.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Black Emperor">Godspeed You! Black Emperor</a> saw the paper dip to a sales low, and Sutherland later stated in his weekly editorial that he regretted putting them on the cover. For many, this was seen as an affront to the principles of the paper, and sales reached a low point at the turn of the millennium. From the issue of 21 March 1999, the paper was no longer printed on newsprint, and more recently, it has shifted to tabloid size with glossy colour covers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2000s">2000s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=NME&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 2000s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2000, Steve Sutherland left to become brand director of the <i>NME</i>, and was replaced as editor by 26-year-old <i><a href="/wiki/Melody_Maker" title="Melody Maker">Melody Maker</a></i> writer Ben Knowles. In the same year, <i>Melody Maker</i> officially merged with the <i>NME</i>, and many speculated the <i>NME</i> would be next to close, as the weekly music-magazine market was shrinking - the monthly magazine <i><a href="/wiki/Select_(magazine)" title="Select (magazine)">Select</a></i>, which had thrived especially during the Britpop era, was closed down within a week of <i>Melody Maker</i>. In the early 2000s, the <i>NME</i> also attempted somewhat to broaden its coverage again, running cover stories on hip-hop acts such as <a href="/wiki/Jay-Z" title="Jay-Z">Jay-Z</a> and <a href="/wiki/Missy_Elliott" title="Missy Elliott">Missy Elliott</a>, electronic musician <a href="/wiki/Aphex_Twin" title="Aphex Twin">Aphex Twin</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/Popstars" title="Popstars">Popstars</a></i> winners <a href="/wiki/Hear%27say" class="mw-redirect" title="Hear'say">Hear'say</a>, and R&B groups such as <a href="/wiki/Destiny%27s_Child" title="Destiny's Child">Destiny's Child</a>. However, as in the 1980s, these proved unpopular with much of the paper's readership, and were soon dropped. In 2001, the <i>NME</i> reasserted its position as an influence in new music, and helped to introduce bands including <a href="/wiki/The_Strokes" title="The Strokes">the Strokes</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Vines_(band)" title="The Vines (band)">the Vines</a>, and <a href="/wiki/The_White_Stripes" title="The White Stripes">the White Stripes</a>. </p><p>In 2002, <a href="/wiki/Conor_McNicholas" title="Conor McNicholas">Conor McNicholas</a> was appointed editor, with a new wave of photographers including <a href="/wiki/Dean_Chalkley" title="Dean Chalkley">Dean Chalkley</a>, Andrew Kendall, James Looker, and Pieter Van Hattem, and a high turnover of young writers.
