Els anys 1995-6 Pulp ja estaven dalt de tot, just on havien volgut estar, i vivint la vida del rockstar. Guanyant premis, declaracions controversials, la famosa protesta contra Michael Jackson (pels “rumors” sobre relacions amb infants), drogues, relacions trencades – tot plegat, the best of times, o no ... un dels components importants del grup va marxar dient que ja no li inspirava continuar en el grup, i el lider Jarvis Cocker es va quedar molt marcat pel costat fosc de la fama – dies i dies avorrits de l’èxit. El proxim LP ho mostraria amb unes cançóns que ja no eren fresques i plenes de alegria (encara que a vegades abans l’alegria amagava algo...), però densos i negatius. Igualment molt bons, però, pels fans com natros! Sortiria el LP This Is Hardcore al 1998. Un dels singles, Help The Aged.

Pulp had hit the top by now, and lived the rock-star life to the full – controversy, drugs, relationship break-ups, people leaving the group, the famous “Michael Jackson” protest ... but soon Jarvis, the group’s leader, would realise that this longed for success and fame had a dark side. A dark side he’d explore in their next album, 1998’s This Is Hardcore. Today, one of the singles, Help The Aged.
