I don't think any country or culture in any context in the history of the world has undergone such an abrupt about-face or fall from grace.
Well I suppose you can really blame the american market, the dis-satisfaction of an angry and primarily ignored youth who like their predecessors turned to punk. It began with bands like The Melvins and the tail end of the 80s thrash metal scene, and built up to Grunge, from Grunge you get Brit Pop wish was pretty much the uk equivalent of the grunge scene which eventually leads in to the nu-metal scene and also the resurgence of the rap/r&b scene. Not to mention the development of the house market.
Britpop was a reaction against grunge. It was also a bunch of talentless pansies and, whilst I'm not a big fan of grunge, I'd rather listen to nothing but Nirvana for the rest of my life than listen to any Britpop album even once.
