Inspired by the 'E' drenched Acid House of the Hacienda nightclub, Between 1988 and 1992, mostly in the north of England, indie bands were formed with this dance tinge to their funky indie rock. 'Bummed' by The Happy Mondays being cited as the first true baggy album, other notable names include The Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Flowered Up, World of Twist, The Farm, The Mock Turtles, Primal Scream (some songs) James (some songs), Northside (underrated) and ofcourse, The Stone Roses.

Geographically, most of the bands were from Manchester but there were a few exceptions such as The Charlatans who were a mix of Chester and Midlands based members, The Farm were from Liverpool and Flowered Up were Londoners. That's why they had to extend the term 'Madchester' to 'Baggy' to ensure that non - Manchester artists with the same style were included in the scene.
The scene fizzled out, most probably due to the restrictions that the hub of the movement, The Hacienda placed on club goers due to the growing concern over the ecstasy drug. Shoegazing emerged and was described as the post - rave comedown.
Spike Island remains a cornerstone moment of the movement as is the Wembley Great British Music Weekender of 1990
