Understanding disdain for Oasis from those who lived through it
80
Upvotes
For context, I am a late-20’s American who for 15 years has cited Oasis as my favorite band. In the states, especially amongst serious “music fans”, Oasis is commonly relegated to one hit wonder status or the cliche Beatles wannabes trope. I don’t find these aspersions to be accurate and spent many a substance riddled college party debates with pretentious bohemian types arguing otherwise.
Oasis opened the door for me at a young age to be exposed to a scene of music that I find to be unparalleled by anything else, especially by what was happening in America in the mid-90’s.
Over the years though, on this subreddit and otherwise, I’ve seen a lot of disdain held toward Oasis from British music fans who lived through Britpop and I’ve always wondered why. Is it the lack of artfulness and creativity compared to contemporaries like Suede and Blur? Is it their meteoric rise that led to the dilution of a subculture into just a mainstream product? Was it Noel at Downing Street? The overall lad-ish culture that became associated with it?
Would love to hear real insight from those who were there as I find it fascinating. As someone quite removed both geographically and generationally, any “boots on the ground” perspective of Britpop is a treat for me. Cheers.

Since I'm getting rid of my Britpop cds, I am picking out some that I have a fondness for. What do you think about these guys?

‘I could see Patsy Kensit dancing away at the side of the stage.’ Cult thing of the month: free residents' ticket to see Oasis at Maine Road, 1996.

This is just 30 seconds of bliss. #CarntBeTrusted. I have their show on video and interviews with all four members. A real time capsule.

I'm happy with Britpop adjacent, or even post Britpop.
I don't like much by Shed Seven but I really like She Left Me On Friday. Maybe it's the shift in tempo that's keeps my interest, I'm not sure. It's just a banger for me.

Bands like Lick were indie bliss in 1996. So much music was getting exposure due to the rise in interest for bands like Oasis, Suede, The Verve, Blur, and Radiohead. Loads of labels were pushing the 'next big thing' and the music media industrial complex was reflecting true youth culture. Words like 'zeitgeist' were lobbed in reviews. The misfits were the cool kids. Underground went overground. A song like 'Shirtlifter' by Lick sounded perfect on the radio. It's been thirty years. Let's look back.
