Am I the only person who would rather stick pins in my eyes than go to an Oasis concert?
Durgey, dull, same same music, enormous egos - no thanks I’d rather stay at home and I’m a 90s teenager!

None of the above. Just a Saturday night anonymous post. Not really anything more, but thanks for the character assassination.

Someone asked for reasons why someone might start a thread like this. Do you see all the little question marks? That means I'm not assuming which, if any, motivated your particular pointless thread.

Attention seeking?
Boredom?
Frustration?
Unresolved issues?

Yes, some of all of the above I suppose. I just feel sad for OP then really.

CandyLeBonBon · 31/08/2024 23:15

Honestly op, nobody cares if you like them or not. Same as Taylor Swift. Or Adele. You do you!

I'd have loved to go and see them but it didn't pan out but fans like to chat about their fave bands don't they? I don't get the hype with Taylor Swift but tons of my friends love her. More power to them I say. Love what brings you joy, and if not, walk on by eh?

How much are the tickets out of interest?

Prior to this oasis had never done more than arenas, and now they’re selling out stadiums?
I saw them in a stadium in 2000

I don't understand all the cool girl stuff from OP either. Generally those that are cool girls are those trying to prove they're so different, like OP. 🤪

I would take issue with anyone starting a thread just to say they hate something, whether or not they were objecting to a thing I like personally. It’s the principle not the specifics that prompted me to post.

I agree. It seems strange to me to post just to say you hate something, especially as harmless as music. I guess there's something behind the need to do it, not sure what though.

Read the posts it’s quite easy to follow, particularly as you wrote some of them

I've read the thread.
I don't see what you're suggesting.

alibongo5 · 31/08/2024 23:09

There are lots of bands I don't like. But I'd still rather listen to them than stick pins in my eyes as I think that would really really hurt.
Not sure if that makes me a cool girl. Probably not.

User135644 · 31/08/2024 23:09

I can't stand the Gallagher's and if their gigs are anything like they used to be it'll be full of coked up louts, although no doubt the 300 pound a ticket to line their pockets will dilute the crowd somewhat. At least the gigs back then were authentic, the reunion show will just be a sea of camera phones - you can't recreate the 90s again.

I do like some of their music but the Morning Glory album has been played to death. I can't stand hearing Don't Look Back in Anger or Wonderwall anymore.

I got loads of sex in the 90s. Sorry to hear you had a dry spell.

So only Oasis fans have sex - that’s where I’ve been going wrong all these years.
lightbulb moment!

Why are you going on about 'cool girls' and being 'called out' exactly?

Hope you have a great time at whichever venue you got tickets for!

Eyes and ears I suppose. Either would be preferable.

It’s funny how the cool girls don’t like to be called out for it. If you’re cool own it ladies.

I think I am quite cool, but that’s not what this is about - my point was neutral on the merits or otherwise of Oasis.

I’m not sure what is more boring at this point, the people posting threads like this about how much they hate Oasis or the people absolutely losing their minds over not managing to buy tickets.

SemperIdem · 31/08/2024 23:04

More of an observation than a complaint on my part. I’ll leave you to your tedious misery 😉

Or those complaining about both?
