Members of Radiohead have not made many comments on the issue; it seems clear that the band isn't particularly keen on the new generation of Britpop musicians: when asked in 2001 by MTV, "How do you guys feel about the fact that bands like Muse, Travis and Coldplay are making a career sounding exactly like your records did in 1997?", Yorke criticized Muse's singer/songwriter Matt Bellamy for what he felt was an attempt to directly imitate him. Of the others he has replied simply: "Good luck with Kid A."
