How did two lads who grew up in poverty go on to front the biggest band in the world? I genuinely don't understand it

What's with the current attempt to make the twats from Oaspish into working class heroes

Will to power is a hell of a drug.

a mixture of sheer pot luck and well written pop music which appealed at the time

The one on the right is cute

Really? It happens all the time

Name 5

A lot of people were sick of the pretentiousness and self-conscious, self-deprecating posturing that was synonymous with indie/alternative rock by 1994.
A lot of people wanted their alternative bands to actually act and look like rockstars instead of being wimpy shit like Superchunk or The Wedding Present. A lot of people actually wanted their alternative bands to actually have tunes and attitude.
Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star came out the same year as Definitely Maybe. This is a crucial aspect of understanding why Oasis blew up, and it's something that nobody ever brings up. Probably because nobody remembers how widely reviled Experimental Jet Set was at the time.

>and well written pop music which appealed at the time
does this still appeal in our time?

Correct

They grew up in a council house when council houses were largely considered to be desired properties, hardly poverty

>so they listened to whiny music that had no real rock to it, but the band members were dicks so suddenly their boring music is good

Lel. These two performances alone were enough to kill grunge in the UK and Europe.

oh boo hoo

Noel was pretty much a proto-Yea Forumstant. He just stayed in his room all day, listened to music and read books/music magazines.

>It’s a good job I didn’t have a mobile phone when I was on the dole at 17. I wouldn’t be sat here today, I fucking assure you of that. I’d have spent all day watching The Beatles on YouTube, getting stoned, thinking, “This is the greatest thing of all time.”
Manics were the same way, just stayed in and watched GnR and Who videos all day

Noel was able to write bangers and Liam had a great voice

Reading old Manics interviews is pretty absurd. Those dudes had an opinion on literally every fucking band out there. The Smiths? They listened to all the albums and had opinions. Aphex Twin? They listened to all the albums and had opinions. Manowar? They listened to all the albums and had opinions.
If Richey is still alive, he's definitely shitposting on Yea Forums and /r9k/.
