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

[Blueybanditbingochilli]

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!

There is nothing particularly "working class" about Oasis fans.

I agree with this ^
especially as it’s been on the front page so much ( too much imo)

Taylor swift is much more popular around the world than Oasis ever were.

Personally, I don’t find them “marmite”, just a bit “meh” these days. I loved them in the 90s, but after their third album, I realised all their songs were starting to sound the same. So I moved on.

I find that class argument tiresome. I don't like their music because I don't care for that kind of sound. The two Gallaghers I find boorish and sexist, and having survived the 90s LADS LADS LADS culture they were a huge part of I have no interest in the media foisting it on us again. It is nothing to do with what class they are - although not being British maybe I don't have that obsession.

Also I hate bucket hats. 😀

Same reason we Scottish people get accused of hating the English football team; it's just that it's fucking everywhere.

My sister keeps texting me to say she won't be going - not sure why she feels the need to tell me but it's a good point op!

I can't stand them. They're the epitome of lad culture and toxic masculinity. I particularly despise Gallagher for what he said to Michael Hutchence about being a has been. They summed up Blair's Britain and were homophobic to boot.

i find it interesting. like with TS the media hype it up so much. kind of reminds me of the queues to see the queens coffin.

I don’t think it’s Oasis, some people are triggered by fads that they don’t understand imo.

There were loads of Taylor threads “Anybody else not get the TS hype?” “Anybody else think TS is overrated ?” and we will get loads of Oasis ones too.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You've nailed it imo.

I remember the 90s as the era of the “laddettes” and “girl power”. Admittedly, this wasn’t really as feminist as it seemed at the time. But it wasn’t all about the lads.

Nostalgia. Fortunately the period in time where they were most popular was a BAD time for me and I have no desire to revisit it 😂

But that's kinda true though. I wasn't the biggest fan but their music practically defined the 90s.

It was all about the lads. Laddettes were simply women who acted like the men. It was all about misogyny. Men's magazines were full of naked women or birds; it was very reductive. It's also the time when stripping became empowering - can't think why...

Girl power? May I ask how old you were in the 90s? As for ladettes...that WAS lads culture. Be one of the lads! Drink 75 pints and go on the cover of Loaded in your knickers to show how empowered you are! Nope. The 90s were fab in many ways but not that one. And I say this as a woman that fell for that ladette shite at the time.

I'd rather have ladette culture than the culture we have now which is more misogynistic than ever.

growing up as a young girl in the 90s was less toxic than growing up now, even with ladette culture and heroin chic.

@wombat15 I don’t get the hype around TS at all and don’t think she’s talented, however I appreciate my friends pre teens love her and that is who she appeals to and I’m happy they enjoy it
My girl is only 6, but thankfully already has much better music taste and would likely prefer to go to an Oasis concert than Taylor Swift, which is a win for me 😅

Yeah, I can’t stand Oasis. I also don’t get Taylor Swift. But I appreciate that millions of people do love them and are excited, so of course it’s to be expected that their tours will be all over the news and a massive topic of conversation.

I’m always amused when people think the news agenda should be tailored to their own personal interests, as if a huge cultural phenomenon somehow be treated as a non-event just because they personally don’t wish to engage with it.

Also a lot of people, I’ve noticed, simply don’t understand what makes something ‘news’.

Might be the reminder of how old they’re getting.

Oasis? Reforming? How? They only just bought out their last album..?

Nope. The last album came out in the 90s and I realise that I am no longer 15 and instead I’m wedged firmly in my 40s.

See?

Triggering!!

Haha no, I think there's quite a possibility only one of them would turn up, or possibly neither!

Some people on here definitely have a superiority complex.
There's also the sniffy attitude to 'wasting' money. I'm looking forward to all the 'I got my child's presents for a tenner' threads at Christmastime

I was just asking myself the same thing funnily enough
I'm pretty triggered by how much attention such a dull thing is getting and I loved their first 2 albums but they've produced rubbish ever since

Are they genuine threads or is that hyperbole?

I ask because I only want to go look for them if they're going to be ridiculous. 😁

Do you remember that they got women off the street, paid them to strip in the office (which was full of blokes) and put it in the magazine. Girl power!
