The Title & Concept:
The inspiration for the title came to frontman Jarvis Cocker in Smashing, a club night that ran during the early 1990s in Eve's Club on Regent Street in London. Cocker had a friend who used the phrase "different class" to describe something that was "in a class of its own." Cocker loved the double meaning, with its allusions to the British social class system - a theme that runs throughout the album.

Social Commentary & Britpop:
Different Class is more than just a collection of catchy songs - it's a sharp, witty examination of British class culture, relationships, and society in the mid-90s. Jarvis Cocker's observational lyrics and distinctive vocal delivery made Pulp stand out from their Britpop contemporaries, offering substance alongside style.

The Hits:
"Common People" became an instant classic and remains one of the most celebrated British songs of the 1990s. Its story of class tourism and social observation struck a chord with millions. "Disco 2000" provided a nostalgic, bittersweet counterpoint, while "Sorted For E's & Wizz" tackled rave culture with characteristic intelligence.
