"Stereotypes" is a song by English alternative rock band Blur and is the opening track to their fourth studio album, The Great Escape (1995). It was released on 12 February 1996 as the third single from that album, charting at number seven on the UK Singles Chart. It also became a minor hit in Australia, peaking at number 95 on the ARIA Singles Chart in June 1996. The accompanying UK B-sides—"The Man Who Left Himself", "Tame" and "Ludwig"—demonstrated a dramatic change in style for Blur, being stark and raw, foreshadowing the stylistic shift that would realize itself on their eponymous follow-up album.^{[citation needed]}

«Stereotypes» —en español: «Estereotipos»— es una canción de la banda británica de rock alternativo Blur y es la pista de apertura de su cuarto álbum de estudio, The Great Escape (1995). Fue lanzado el 12 de febrero de 1996 como el tercer sencillo de ese álbum, ubicándose en el número siete en la UK Singles Chart. También se convirtió en un éxito menor en Australia, alcanzando el puesto 95 en la lista de sencillos de ARIA en junio de 1996. Los lados B del Reino Unido que lo acompañan, «The Man Who Left Himself», «Tame» y «Ludwig», demostraron un cambio dramático en estilo para Blur, siendo rígido y crudo, presagiando el cambio estilístico que se realizaría en su álbum homónimo de seguimiento.
