It depends on your definition of what Britpop is.

If you`re defining it as a late 80s early 90s groups of bands then no they are not.

If you`re defining it as bands influenced by classic British pop of the 60s & 70s then yes they are.

However I do find it sad that there has been one band overlooked & thats Orange Juice.Jangly guitar pop with a 'crooner' style vocal that pre-date even the Smiths by a few years. I would be very surprised if Morrissey wasn`t even a little bit influenced by Edwin Collins.
