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 don’t think I have superior choice in music I didn’t say that. I just don’t like Oasis as every track sounds identical to the last.

I do think SOME oasis fans think they are superior.

Have you not been on mumsnet recently OP? I presume not as I don't see how you've missed all the threads about hating them if you have been. 😅

When I'm not a fan of someone or I'm not interested in something, I just don't comment.

I am finding the almost blanket coverage of the concerts quite tiresome. I haven’t read any anti posts on here?

I am entitled to not like them as much as you are to like them.

Show quote history

Of course you are. But to start a thread about it? All these threads are to refine about people who sound as if they think they have a far superior music taste to others who do like Oasis

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

Is Oasis triggering for some because they maybe didn’t have a fantastic time in the 90s? 😆😆

Shakenandstirredup · 31/08/2024 22:11

Do people not understand people are entitled to an opposite opinion?

Of course & I’ve not said you should like them. There are plenty of things I don’t like but I wouldn’t bother creating a thread about it. You must have another topic you could post a thread about? Or does moaning make you feel better?

For every thread about not liking them there’s a gazillion social media posts about queues for tickets.

Is there? Why are you reading about something you’re so disinterested in?

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

Not seen my arse at all. It would take a damn sight more than a few opposite opinions on an anonymous internet forum to make thst happen

Oops, OP is seeing their arse now. Regretting starting the thread.

Don't Look Back In Anger @ArmchairOlympian

Yeah that’s it Jane.

maybe I’ll start another thread about not being able to get tickets, as 29,000 threads on that is ok

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 31/08/2024 21:58

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

How funny all these posts about people being entitled to like them. But berating me for not liking them! So you’re only allowed an opinion if you’re in favour?

Has somebody berated you for not liking them?

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 31/08/2024 21:55

I like 4 songs only -

  • acquiesce is my favourite
  • then What's the story?(morning glory) not in Balamory
  • Supersonic
  • Live Forever
Four songs isn't worth sitting through a whole gig for. I had chance to see them at Leeds festival many moons ago. We called it quits once they'd played my favourite. As for paying out ££££ for tickets - nope, I wouldn't even do that for my favourite band (Editors) but nor do I need to as they don't take the piss.
HappierTimesAhead · 31/08/2024 21:55

I don't like Aubergines, Robbie Williams, Spiders, getting up early, jet-ski's....oh wait, should I start my own thread?

ArmchairOlympian · 31/08/2024 21:51

The hypocrisy is overwhelming.
i swear for every post about not wanting tickets there has to be so many more about the opposite. Why is an opposite opinion so wrong?

It's not wrong, it's just that cumulatively there has been an awful lot of threads about Oasis.

I think people get defensive when other people insult things that they really like. Kind of a natural reaction IMO. I've seen the same on anti-Taylor Swift threads. It's a bit goady.

Werweisswohin · 31/08/2024 21:54

Couldn't you have written this in an existing thread?
I have no desire to see them but have seen them live back in the day and they were well worth the money!
AFAIK nobody is being forced to buy tickets.

kitsuneghost · 31/08/2024 21:52

Isn't it great we all like different things.
Imagine the ticket queues if everyone's favourite band was the same.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 31/08/2024 21:52

I’m fed up of these threads now. I like oasis and loved them when I was 13 but regardless is there really any need for all these boring posts.

Blueybanditbingochilli · 31/08/2024 21:51

Probably because you’re a much better, more enlightened person than everyone else here OP.
