I've no more expertise than you pretend to. From a quick scan of articles it appears different experts see it differently.
Googled coup vs riot. The top few articles, I've no idea the leanings of the below.
QZ - Biden calls it an insurrection, others call it a coup, nobody agrees.
Washington Post - Insurrection not a coup
NYT- Coup attempt
FP - Not a coup but looks like one.
I'm guessing coup sounds cooler than insurrection.
