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’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?

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.

PuzzledParrott · 31/08/2024 21:50

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

Fuckitydoodah · 31/08/2024 21:50

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.

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?

Wonder-yaaaaaawn (Sorry)

Blueybanditbingochilli · 31/08/2024 21:51

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

ArmchairOlympian · 31/08/2024 21:52

@DollopOfFun yeah you sound it

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

ArmchairOlympian · 31/08/2024 21:59

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

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

Don't Look Back In Anger @ArmchairOlympian

ArmchairOlympian · 31/08/2024 22:02

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

JaneJeffer · 31/08/2024 22:03

I thought I was being a soothing presence 🤔

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