throbber Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The thing is when Oasis got big around that time the music you listened to defined your social group and who you were - if Sheeran was about then he would be a pop music star and the same people who liked him wouldn't like Oasis by social ruling Not like that anymore at all people just like what ever i seem to think but my music interest peaked in about 00's and i haven't really cared that much since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I think also during the 90's and 00's when there was a breakthrough act or any other massive act you simply couldn't get away from them as you only had certain radio outlets and tv programmes that it was hard to hear anything else and nowadays with the internet being the way it is you have so much variation. Thats pretty much why there probably won't be anything like Oasis breaking through in the same way ever again because not that many people will have it rammed in their faces so to speak.

Stephen Malkmus Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oasis probably wouldn't be half as relevant as they are among people under 25 if Noel Gallagher wasn't so adept at playing the music press with soundbites like that one. Not that it takes much effort, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Its a good point. The average Oasis fan is pretty thick and probably laps up this kind of pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Went off Oasis after the first two albums - they've been attacking others for ages. Blur was a great example, he slagged their music off but they've all done much more diverse and original work since while Oasis played the same shite for over a decade. Gorillaz pisses all over anything he's done since in terms of originality. Usually when someone attacks they're just projecting their own insecurities, he knows he's a total sellout hypocrite.

Fratelli Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The thing is when Oasis got big around that time the music you listened to defined your social group and who you were - if Sheeran was about then he would be a pop music star and the same people who liked him wouldn't like Oasis by social ruling Not like that anymore at all people just like what ever i seem to think but my music interest peaked in about 00's and i haven't really cared that much since I get the impression Gallagher thinks it's still all about class and social groups etc - i saw a few weeks ago he criticised Kasabian and the Arctic Monkeys for not doing more to inspire 'working class bands' I have Alan Mcgee on Facebook too, and he's always rambling about proper working class bands, load of shite if you ask me. I see Catfish and the Bottlemen are trying the Oasis 90s approach by constantly saying they're from a council estate, brought up with no money etc, then slagging off everything that's popular. They seem to have some sort of inferiority complex as if everyone looks down on them because of where they're from, when really its because their music is shite. I used to be obsessed with Oasis when i was a bit younger, i'd probably have loved this kind of thing back then. I still listen to the first 3 albums now and then but the rest is mostly pretty boring. Although some of Gallagher's quotes can be entertaining, he knows how hypocritical he's being, I'm certain he just does it for his own amusement most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ed sheeran is pish. Noel is good. Bruno mars is god All 3 are pish. HTH. He's pretty much spot on tbh. Neither do I wish to live in a world where a society find it acceptable to champion Ed Sheeran. No-one does "champion" Ed Sheerin though, it's a pointless strawman. The only folk I've heard say that they listen to him / go see him are boring dowdy middle-aged office women. Gallagher may as well be shambling about complaining that the Nazis were a bit unpleasant for all the relevance it would have to anything. The guy is a fud in a cagoule.

milton75 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Buying records and tickets to sell out Wembley, is as close to 'championing' as you're going to get. Bollocks. You may as well say that people "champion" The Sun because it sells a lot of copies. That's not championing anything; it's simply people possessing low critical faculties being participants in a consumer market. Like anyone that buys whatever guff Noel Gallagher is currently punting.

Fair enough. I'd say that's more just off-the-cuff unpleasantness than arrogance though (I approve of it generally!). I think we all generalise to a large extent, and my generalisations are all correct all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
