The British Invasion helped cement British artists as big players in the international market. As such many bands or singers found in American media will turn out British. They're generally of the Metal or Rock genre with horrible fashion sense, who take lots of drugs, drink lots of booze, have incredibly high sexual tallies (often going for the weird stuff, too), trash hotel rooms and throw TVs out the window, and are either indifferent or throwing themselves behind whatever good cause might be available. Pierced nose and spiky mohawk optional. One particular trait is that they're likely to avert I Am Very British, opting for a cockney or Northern accent (usually Liverpudlian or Mancunian, thanks to the existence of famous rock bands from those cities). A subtrope of The Rock Star, who is usually a more positive, glamorous figure (and they can be British too!). |

Jagged Stone of Miraculous Ladybug is Marinette and Adrian's favourite rock star, and he has a British accent in the English dub. He is also Thomas Astruc's favourite character. This isn't the case in the original French, where he has an American accent instead. | |

Axl Low, the time-travelling goofball of the Guilty Gear games is designed after this whole aesthetic (Guilty Gear being an Animesque fighting game chock full of rock/metal references), although it's only in Xrd he really gets his British accent, despite him being based off an American rockstar. | |

24-Hour Party People is based on the true story of Factory Records, and Happy Mondays fits the trope to a tee, as they did in real life. At the lowest point, the band is sent to Barbados to record an album and get off heroin, but they in turn start smoking crack and end up selling the studio equipment, and when returning home, Shaun Ryder keeps the masters hostage, however after a gun point negotiation with the label owner Tony Wilson, agrees to hand them over for for £50. | |

Dead Rising 2 has heavy rockers named Jeanna Slick, Floyd Stone, and Allen Ash who are members of the band Angel Lust. The trio mistook the zombie horde for fans (admittedly, it's not that much of a stretch). They had such lines as "Oi mate, get off the bloody stage!" and "Zombies? Blimey!" They even destroy a crowd of zombies through The Power of Rock. | |

In the final season of Just Shoot Me! Nina has a washed-up British pop-star as a boyfriend. An early episode had Maya interview a famous British rocker whose big hit was called "Nina in the Cantina". Everyone, including Nina, assumes the song is about her, but when the two meet, he doesn't have any idea who Nina is. He eventually recalls that she's "that crazy bird what shagged our bass player" while drunk/stoned out of her mind. She's appalled to learn this. |

There are several examples in the Grand Theft Auto series: In Vice City, you must escort Love Fist, a Scottish band that is very similar to Spinal Tap, around the city, along with their manager Kent Paul. In San Andreas, you meet up with Maccer, the frontman of a band called The Gurning Chimps who are largely parodies of this trope, though their style leans more towards proto-Britpop, like The Stone Roses, Suede, and Happy Mondays (he even wears a Reni hat). Kent Paul has moved on to managing him since Love Fist burned out. To truly hammer the point home: Maccer is voiced by Shaun Ryder, the lead singer of the Happy Mondays. Liberty City Stories has Crow, an ahead-of-his-time, egotistical humanitarian crusader who serves as a thinly-veiled parody of Sting from The Police. |

While he's not nearly as wild as other examples due to the kid-friendly nature of the series he is however a Dark Type Trainer and the leader of Team Yell, who are his Gym Trainers that he sent out to support his sister Marnie. | |

Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek. Snow is interesting in that he combines exaggeration, subversion, and Self-Parody: Exaggeration. Cockney? Check. Excessive drug and alcohol consumption? Check, although Forgetting Sarah Marshall is during a clean period. Incredible amounts of sex? CHECK. Indifference or random causes? Both: "African Child" is an attempt to make a "cause" song that just proves he doesn't care. Horrible fashion sense? Well, it's highly eccentric. Take it or leave it. Subversion, because he is actually a Nice Guy, albeit one with serious problems. Self-parody, because when you substitute "comedian" for "rock star", a lot of Aldous Snow's character is like that of his actor, Russell Brand. |

Gary Bloke from Private Eye practically runs on this. There's also Spiggy Topes of Spiggy Topes and the Turds (later "Sir Spigismond Topes") who is essentially a combined parody of every fading sixties rock star. Unusual in that this Running Gag actually started at the time of the British Invasion itself, so it has carried on in real time with the real thing. |

Protozoa of the band Microbe in Zenon. Unfortunately, his lyrics are made up of Future Slang that seems to be a random mish-mash of unrelated scientific terms. Of course, he's wildly popular with the teenage girls in the movie, while the boys complain that his lyrics make too much sense (one wonders what sort of music they listen to). | |

Naturally a few of these turn up in Brütal Legend, like the Guardian of Metal (voiced by Ozzy Osbourne) and the Kill Master (voiced by Lemmy Kilmister). | |

The 4400: In "The Ballad of Kevin and Tess", Shawn befriends a British musician named Nick Crowley, whose music he loves, when he heals him in the aftermath of his drug and alcohol-fueled binge. When Nick has a similar episode the next day, he insists on being brought to the 4400 Center instead of a hospital so that Shawn can heal him again. Nick invites Shawn to come on tour with him so that he can heal him every time that this happens, but Shawn declines, as he thinks that his ability was meant for something better than continually bringing a rock star back from the brink of death. | |

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers: The episode "Risky Beesness" involved a British rock band who were locked in their room by the villainess who wore a bee costume, could command bees and considered herself a musician. While in their dressing room, they spoke in received British pronunciation, had tea, and showed that the show's writers Did Not Do the Bloody Research regarding language in a children's show. | |

WKRP in Cincinnati had an early episode where the station sponsored a concert with the British band, Scum of the Earth, who stress that they specialize in Hoodlum Rock. The difference from Punk Rock is that they dress in fine suits and ties, speak in erudite English and gleefully commit violent crimes on everyone, including their fans, whenever possible. Their leader is played by Michael Des Barres, a Real Life British rock star whose subsequent acting career would also take him to the above-mentioned "Nina in the Cantina" episode of Just Shoot Me!. | |
