Why do so many people seem ‘triggered’ by Oasis?

For want of a better word.

If I saw a band I didn’t like were reforming, it wouldn’t stay in my head longer than a split second, it would be absolutely nothing to me.

Yet we’ve had multiple threads from posters demanding to know why anyone is buying tickets, why don’t people agree that they’re shit, how superior their own music taste is and what a better person they are for it (😂). I would never demand to know why somebody likes something I don’t, it just seems so arrogant and the answer so obvious.

If the band are aiming to be a bit ‘marmite’ they’ve clearly got the result they wanted!

Because of the Internet.

People are angry at the world, bored and frustrated at the world we live in today.

The media hypes everything up into a frenzy. The cost of things are ridiculous.

There's a way to voice your opinion on everything to the world.

It's not about Oasis. It's about people's mental health and frustration.

Everything is marketed this way now and people are becoming sick of it.

I'm not sure it's being triggered as such but maybe more because there's such a ridiculous month of press and hype about them and it's all over the media.

There’s been more for Taylor Swift. I don’t like her music but appreciate many do, she’s very popular and therefore it’s big news.

No idea but it's quite hilarious.

I can't stand Girls Aloud, but it doesn't bother me that hey reformed. Don't get the fuss over Taylor Swift either, but she doesn't incite vitriol in me. It's very strange.
