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!

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?

You're entitled to your opinion.

People like what they like.

Being a teenager in the mid 90s means that britpop and indie music were a huge part of my formative years. Their music transports me back to those years, which were bloody great. Absolute nostalgia. I saw them at Knebworth when I was 15.

I'm quite gutted to not have been able to get tickets.

PuzzledParrott · 31/08/2024 21:50

You are aware attending the gigs isn’t mandatory, aren’t you?

DollopOfFun · 31/08/2024 21:50

If you're really a 90's teenager then you shouldn't need to be told to grow the fuck up.

Different people like different things. It's not news.

I’m not sure forums do exist so you can just publicly state things you don’t like, though

Eh?

Don’t you think it’s daft to come on to a discussion forum and just say you hate something, with no question, discussion or other purpose?

BeachHutsAndDeckchairs · 31/08/2024 21:49

Is it worth the aggravation? I know it's a crazy situation but all you need is cigarettes and alcohol.

You’re coming up against hostility (if you can even call it that) because there have been so many threads about people not liking Oasis and not wanting to go to the concert. As if anyone cares? I’m not going, not bothered about going but I cannot imagine starting a thread about it because nobody else gives a shit!

There’s been sooo many threads about wanting tickets

OP posts:
coxesorangepippin · 31/08/2024 21:47

I disagree

They're not the best band ever

But god have they picked their moment to come back

People are crying out for 90's nostalgia

Mumsnet has got it very wrong then haven’t they

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?

Not one single person has berated you for not liking them!

There are multiple threads on here from equally original ops telling us they don’t like Oasis. Btw I’m not even arsed and didn’t try to get tickets because I find gigs too expensive. I’m just aware of the concept of people liking different things and I’m pleased for genuine fans who thought they’d never get the chance to see them again.

Like I said, not liking Oasis is absolutely fine. You’re not required to go to any of the gigs or engage with the media coverage if it’s not your bag.

Oasis fans are original.
oasis non fans are not!
interesting views.

I have started a thread as that’s why the forum exists.
theres no need for all this hostility. It’s just an opinion as the bloody internet is full of how wonderful they are.

I’m not a fan ( like a few songs)
but they have a lot of fans that will be desperate to see them. It’s not the fans fault that the media have hyped this up.

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.

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

And yet you've decided to add to the noise about it by starting a (yet another) thread on this topic?

Christ not another ‘I don’t like oasis’ - honestly why not just comment on one of the other threads?! Don’t really understand the need to tell us you would rather stick pins In your eyes rather than watch them. Who is forcing you to watch a band you don’t like OP? Who is making you buy tickets?! So tiresome. We get it. Some people don’t like oasis.

Stay at home then 🤷‍♀️

I could say the same about hundreds of bands, probably thousands. I can’t see any point in starting a thread about it, though. Why is it remarkable that people like different things? Love what you love, let other people get on with loving what they love. Spend time doing what makes you happy, not dwelling on things you don’t like. You’ll never make the world look just the way you want it, so choose the bits you want and ignore the rest.
