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

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!

Off topic @glittercunt but I keep meaning to go to Ffos. Should I? (After the oasis madness calms down maybe…). I’m near Cardiff so not far to go!

TS was born in a rich, privileged background. Secondly, the kind of money successful artists make today cannot be compared to the kind of money their counterparts earned 30 years ago.
3rd, being American everything is about money. A British artist cannot match the PR, marketing American singers have access to.

I don't think she was born in a "rich privileged background" but how she got there is fairly irrelevant. She is more successful around the world than her contemporaries(she is a billionaire). The same can't be said for Oasis.

Ben Fogle wanting tickets is hilarious. That that's partly the problem I have with Oasis in 2024.
It's like David Cameron claiming the Smiths.
Ben had his chance to see them as a failed Alevel public school, chinless wonder at Portsmouth Poly but he was just too mainstream and townie. Acid Jazz. Wild. Although his love for AstroTurf in his London house would work in the back yard if he moved to Manchester.

Why shouldn’t Ben Fogle go to an Oasis gig?

Hang on, Ben Fogle is too posh to be allowed like Oasis but if you don't like them you hate the working class? I think this is where I bow out and go back to Radiohead and REM 😀
