Britpop is a very subjective title, because there is no similarity between artists, sort of like how people bicker over what is and isn't grunge.

It wasn't a style, just a genre that many bands fell under in that is pretty wide. For example, there's really no stylistic similarity between Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains.

Other genres are usually pretty similar between bands, but grunge and britpop have very loose defining qualities.

That said, you could go with something from Blur, Oasis, Suede, Pulp, Manic Street Preachers, Supergrass, etc. and have a pretty good list.

Ofc, those artists evolved beyond the britpop thing, too.
