Second British Invasion

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about the Second British Invasion! It's not really an invasion like a fight, but more like a time when a lot of really cool British music came over to America and became really popular.

You see, back in the 1960s, there was a first British Invasion. Lots of British bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones came over to America and got really popular. People loved their music and style, and they inspired a lot of American bands to start making similar music.

But then, in the 1980s, there was a second invasion of British music. This time, bands like Duran Duran, The Police, and Culture Club came over to America and became super popular. These bands had a fresh sound and style of their own, and people couldn't get enough of them.

They became really famous and started the new wave music movement. It's when people use a lot of new, interesting sounds and experiment with music. This movement was really cool because it brought new kinds of music to America.

Overall, the second British Invasion was a really exciting time for music fans because it brought something new and different to the music scene.
