They also came before all those bands. A few months before, but Suede was largely done by the time Blur and Oasis got huge in ‘94/’95.

Suede needs to do something for Suede, and if Suede needs to stop being Britpop for a while, that's just what Suede will do.

Oh, sorry, wrong Suede. Never mind.

There are a lot of descriptive words that can be bestowed upon Suede and their “legacy.” Britpop is actually a compliment for the band so I’d advise Mr. Anderson to keep quiet because the alternatives aren’t great.
