The Madchester trend was coined for the alternative music scene that developed in Manchester, the Great Britain in late 1980s and mixed indie rock and dance. The founders of the newly emerged musical style are labelled the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses from Manchester, UK. Their music is quite complicated to describe, however, very easy to remember. Members of the band, reputedly, suffered drug addiction, which brought their musical careers to the end, but Madchester proceeded ruling the music scene.
