This is how big Britpop got...

What is/was Britpop? And why do people assume it was a time of musical clones?
If you take the genre's "key players", they're all entirely different:
Oasis, Blur, Suede, Pulp. Add into the mix Ocean Colour Scene, Supergrass, Black Grape etc, the established acts who flourished at this time: Weller & The Charlatans being two examples there; plus the other great (and musically diverse) acts who established themselves at the time such as The Divine Comedy & Super Furry Animals and the notion that it was a tedious time of Oasis, Blur and second division players like Cast & Sleeper starts to seem ridiculous. Add to this that the UK clubscene was in ascendance, the pop charts were full of a pretty even mix of "britpop"/indie, pop-dance and r'n'b (when it was still good) and, in my own opinion, the mid-90s were musically a great time to be around.

turan, I remember John Harris (former NME writer) who wrote extensively about Britpop saying later that 'post-Britpop', what came in its wake, was less full-on, slightly mushy bands like Coldplay and Keane. So we went from attitude (man!) to soppy - but it was still just as popular.
