I hardly remember them from the 90s, listening again their music it's nothing special, and now I don't understand why people think a reunion is at all interesting.
You don’t understand why people listen to music that you don’t like? Oasis in America is the Wonderwall band, but for a generation of people in the United Kingdom they are the biggest band since the Beatles.
I don't understand why they have more buzz today in my current media bubble than they did in the 90s in my media bubble at that time. Why does NPR think this is something me and my fellow NPR listeners would be excited about? People can listen to what they like. It has just struck me as odd where I'm hearing about it.
They are going to sell out a bunch of stadiums because there’s a giant population of people who don’t want to listen to Taylor swift or a bunch of Korean boy bands
Oasis ticketing chaos prompts probe into dynamic pricing https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/2/24234149/oasis-reunion-tour-tickets-dynamic-pricing-probe-uk
the reunion is a big deal because its been speculated upon and overhyped for a decade. i dont get it either, but being in america its just not the same...theyre absolutely massive on the other side of the atlantic...oasis and brit-pop in general never caught on here like it did over there. and this is coming from someone whose favorite bands are mostly british/scotish/irish.
thats odd! even if you dont like any of those bands i dont see how its possible to have missed them in the 90's/early 2000's. for the record, i always thought coldplay sucked, i only like one oasis album and i cant remember the last time i listened to radiohead. but i can still name their hit songs. coldplay f***ing sucks, but i know they had songs called clocks, yellow, that one about looking at the stars that shine for you, and then didnt they also have a song called apple of my eye because the singer and gweneth paltrow named their kid apple? i dont know that i ever heard that song and i might be making that up, but it sounds like something coldplay would do. also, gweneth paltrow is the coldplay of actresses.
liam is broke i liked their first single supersonic but they went in a different direction which wasn't to my tastes.
i actually had to look up what that was. i had never heard of them! tears for fears/peter garbriel vibes going on with this song... for me scottish music starts and ends with the proclaimers. i celebrate their entire catalogue...like that one song "i would walk 500 miles" or any of the other songs that they might have recorded
I know a decent amount about Taylor Swift and I have never once sought out any information on her. We’re just fed **** constantly whether we want to know it or not. I get that your point is that you’re hearing more about them now then you did in their prime, but its been close to 30 years since you’d have any real reason to hear about them and media is just presented differently now. Also you probably just don’t remember.
