So one is pretty hard pressed to say Britney was setting any trends. It was done earlier, and better, by others.

I know what electropop is, and i never said she kicked off electropop or dubstep, just that she introduced it into mainstream pop music when no other pop acts were doing so. How does that qualify riding on a trend? The videos you've posted convince me that you havent listened to Blackout, which is electro-pop revival. Please remember that electropop is a genre, Ladytron subscribe to it and use it a different than Britney does. It just seems to me that you're taking a knock at Britney without being familiar with her sound, genre or influences.
