In the 90s (((the music industry))) pushed lad culture onto the white working classes of Britain to dumb them down. A once proud people who were the backbone of the country, they were ripped to shreds by Thatcher and then the lad culture movement in the 90s, which were spearheaded by Oasis.
Their music is derivative as if they were written by session musicians and their lyrics are meaningless. Once, the white working classes produced intelligent musicians like Lennon and Morrissey, then the (((industry))) put an end to that with Oasis.
Around the same time Manic Street Preachers, another white working class band, were writing intelligent, articulate anti-establishment songs yet only had a handful of big hits and then faded into semi-obscurity.
>And Oasis I genuinely like, it's just so natural. The first week Richey went missing, or rather the first month, I just couldn't stop playing 'Live Forever' and 'Slide Away'. That melancholia with an uplifting nature was what I wanted to get across on the album, that there is a vague kind of hope through sadness. It's an incredible cliché but those two songs helped me through something. And hadn't felt like that since I was 18. I think Oasis are just in a different stratosphere anyway. We're not in competition with them. They are the best. But everyone else I feel intense rivalry with. >Musically, I do genuinely love Oasis. They're so natural, I think it's above criticism. But I now know we're too difficult for that. They have something that hits you like an elemental force. In many ways Oasis are the band we wanted to be, but never could be. >Even a band like Blur, who are good, have had to at it: changing their image and so on. But they could never write a song as pure as 'Wonderwall'. Not many bands can. I do envy that - Linford Christie being a natural sportsman, or Oasis being a natural band. I envy that so much. >When we supported Oasis at Maine Road, it just put everything in perspective. It made me realise that we were becoming a big band, but we were nowhere near becoming a phenomenon, and we never would. Maine Road showed us our allotted position. I knew what we never would be after that gig. people have taken Oasis so completely to their hearts, independent of anything like a marketing push. Anything at all. It just seemed uncontrollable. Totally inspiring.
Alan McGhee was definitely looking for a group of mongs who could make dumb football chant songs after Madchester died
Hunter Thomas
True
It's also true that Oasis/McGee had connections with Tony Blair and the Labour Party circa 1995 and helped Blair get elected basically. "Cool Britannia" was definitely a thing that was pushed by the government. That said, Oasis' success was just down to Noel's songwriting, Liam's voice, and Alan McGee being really fucking good at his job.

>shitty pop music forced into the masses.
OH MY
Eli Hill
Holy shit. I thought I was the only one who knew about The Cooper Temple Clause. They don't get enough recognition.
blur good oasis bad blur are not shite npc shoyu lad kook
Austin Diaz
>industry plants >beligerant cokeheads who gave 0 shits about their own careers
Noah Gomez
that explains why their music is so shit.
Owen Wright
Oasis are pure NPCcore:
>Rock anthems good >Mancunian brothers funny >Beatles rip offs good
Blur actually require a semblance of original thought to appreciate.
Carson Evans
>not knowing that they were encouraged to act that way because it made everybody money
Evan Perry
Oasis were definitely a step in the right direction after the complete shit that was UK music in the late 80's/early 90's. And as far as the dumbing down argument goes, they weren't nearly as meatheaded as what Americans were listening to during this time.
Logan Miller
This Scotsman and Irishman formed a pact to destroy the Englishman with degeneracy and lager.
>after the complete shit that was UK music in the late 80's/early 90's
Huh? Stone Roses, New Order, Manics, Happy Mondays, Morrissey and Blur were all releasing great music.
Robert Carter
Battersea Power Station was an industry plant. Oasis were two chavs that wrote rags on crack.
Josiah Jenkins
I find the whole cult worship of Jeremy Corbyn to be cringeworthy so fuck knows how bad it was when Cool Britannia was a thing and all these hip celebrities licked the boots of that warmongering sweaty.
Luis Kelly
But rightly so after Grunge. I thought that was a genius move.
Hudson Peterson
Dont listen to someone who defends Oasis
Isaiah Carter
I know it was a bit of a think for grunge, but by 93 they hated politics full stop.
Jose Sanders
oasis were a product of "lad culture"; not the other way around
Hudson Diaz
I think it's funny how in America, Bush was way bigger than Oasis, while in their home country, they were practically irrelevant nobodies.
>Noel, wanting to make the album as dense and "colossal" feeling as possible, layered multiple guitar tracks on several songs. In many instances he dubbed ten channels with identical guitar parts, in an effort to create a sonic volume.[6] Creation's owner Alan McGee visited the studio during the mixing stage; he said, "I used to go down to the studio, and there was so much cocaine getting done at that point ... Owen was out of control, and he was the one in charge of it. The music was just fucking loud."[11] Morris responded: "Alan McGee was the head of the record company. Why didn’t he do something about the 'out of control' record producer”? Obviously, the one not in control was the head of the record company."[14] He said that he and the band had been dealing with personal difficulties the day and night before McGee visited the studio. and then it sold 8 million copies
Juan Jones
and how many of those copies ended up in secondhand stores within 6 months?
Wyatt Baker
MORE FOOKIN GUITAR LAYERS
Gavin Rivera
exxplain how Oasis were denigrating the working class instead of elevating it? Oh, and Lennon was definitely middle class.
