100% agreed, but then, I do not usually worry about the general public's
views about pop history, because we all know they got it all wrong! I just
don't want to go to a rally 20 years from now and find a Britpop room (and a
MTV R&B room, and alcohol free beer at the bar). Life's too short.

I think the difference is that revival stuff gets shot from both sides - it
was always hated by the music critics, and it's become hated by the mod
scene (who are about the only people to talk about it these days). Wheras
Britpop generally received short shrift from the established mod scene,
but - at least in the UK - made enough of a mark to be part of pop culture
history. Just consider the fate of the previous generation - Stone
Roses/Charlatans/et al - what the mod scene thought of them didn't matter a
jot.
