Britpop is going to take over the world. Again.

The big years of Britpop ended in the late 90s, after about seven years of popularity. When Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now,  it was considered the end of the britpop era. Be Here Now may have been loved by their fans, but the critics hated it and said Noel Gallaghers sound was overproduced and unpersonal. Even Noel Gallagher himself said he did'nt like it. 
A lot of famous bands began to split up at this point, like Radiohead and The Verve. Other bands changed their sounds a lot, so that the sounds were more electronic and synth-based.
Another thing that may have had something to do with the dying popularity of Britpop was the rise of another huge British band: The Spice Girls.
