A waste of time
I think it's like everything; easier to dismiss than to grapple with it and it also takes work to find what you like.

Looking back, Britpop is almost unique among those musical trends which lasted half a decade or more, in that you couldn't fill a Nuggets-type compilation with genuinely good tracks.

I might have a go in work tomorrow. I don't think it'll be too hardanyone wanna have a go at this?
Pop is not a genre, it is an abbreviation of popular. If it is british, and popular, then portmanteau gods are happy.
Popstars who say “pop just means popular” don’t really get it. And forget singing, writing, dancing or any of the other stuff: ‘getting it’ is one of the most important abilities of the modern popstar.
So yes, it does come from popular but no that's not what it means.
yeah yeah yeah long form links to TLDR evidence etc, but my point remains, pop music is very much not a sound or genre.
