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!

I think a lot of people going are going for the social capital of buying a ticket that's slightly hard to acquire, it's like the equivalent of wearing a fancy jacket or trainers 'look at me I'm so special'. Some of them will be actual fans of the music but I honestly think they are fewer than the first group described.

This thread appears to have attracted the crowd of MNs who are so too super cool for school.

It's you who thinks you're super cool and edgy for being the only person who will stick their head above the parapet and say they don't like Oasis.

Except you're not, for many others have gone before you.

Bad day @Saltedbutter ??

It was quite average, really. You?

PassingStranger · 31/08/2024 22:32

Agree, miserable and argumentative. Dreadful sound.Laughing all the way to the bank. All.your doing is making rich people even richer. They aren't worried about you.

To be fair though I wouldn't go to any concerts like that today. Big rip off. Stressful.to get tickets. No doubt all the merchandise and refreshments will all be a rip.off too.
Look after your money it's not easy to come by.

Well you obviously have superior tastes to those of us who do like them and I’m just relieved you started this thread so we all now know.

Why don’t you start a thread next about your least favourite brand of washing powder?

Lidl Formil is pretty decent for the price. 😬

How about a poll on 'Oasis - the fruit drink or the band?'

YearsWentByFast · 31/08/2024 22:31

What singers/bands do you like OP?

The Taylor swift hype didn’t bother me. I just think Liam and Noel are really dislikeable.

Oasis make much better music.
None of their personas appeal much though tbh.

Are you a blur fan?

GoldPlayer · 31/08/2024 22:26

I suppose nature abhors a vacuum, and there seems to be one in the music scene right now. But honestly, it's a depressing reflection of culture to see how much hype these clowns are getting

Yes, it's just you OP. The rest of us are going to an Oasis concert, or crying into our kebabs because we spent a day in a queue and still didn't get tickets. Or we just can't afford it so are pretending we think they're shite.

It's just you who doesn't actually want to go and see them in concert.

Awesome, I’m glad I’m an original for once in my sad lonely, non-Oasis filled life

I was a 90s teenager and think the news coverage of it, is very ott. They were very popular though, even though I am not a fan myself.

Toddlerteaplease · 31/08/2024 22:22

Sick of hearing about Oasis and Taylor Bloody swift!

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 31/08/2024 22:19

You are being unreasonable to start a thread carping on about how you absolutely loathe and despise Oasis. Acting like you're sooooo original! Hmm Lots of people have done this over the past few days and it's pathetic.

Literally nobody cares that you hate them, really. Millions of people like them/love them as all this crazy scratting for the tickets has proven ... so you don't like them big deal. Woo hoo. Give yourself a carrot.. 🙄

JackRabbitSlim · 31/08/2024 22:22

They're alright, as in I wouldn't turn some of their songs off if they came on the radio, but wouldn't choose to listen to them. Glad I'm not bothered about them though given the trouble people have had getting tickets!

Just tell the truth, you couldn't get tickets and you're angry and pretending you hate Oasis. It's ok Flowers

😂

I gave 2 spare tickets OP, willing to sell at a few hundred more than what I paid. 💀

You're running the gauntlet on a Saturday night, OP.

A gauntlet lined with people who spent hours clicking refresh on ticketmaster today and still didn't get tickets 😩
