Blur is a Alternative rock and Indie rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rap. Their sound grew out of Stephen Hague, Everyday Robots, James Ford, The Beatmasters and Barns Courtney. Those roots explain a lot about how Blur arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Elastica, Oasis, Gorillaz, Liam Gallagher and Manic Street Preachers, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Plan B, Fazerdaze, Tom Odell, Ana Johnsson and Say Sue Me, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 80 connections around Blur, reaching back through Stephen Hague and forward to Plan B.
