Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

My colleague, father of three, didn't get it though.

Topical.

not just "a"

This.
I saw them at a freebie concert in Preston around then. And then in Nottingham. They were fucking ace.

Looking back yeah it’s dreadful cloning and posturing but fuck me the world was shite around then. Megadog and crusty techno was a thing for fucks sake.
And Cud. And the wonder stuff.
Honestly the world needed a kick up the arse.

He’s behind Keith fucking Allen right?

Keith fucking Allen

oh god, more white middle aged anecdotes incoming.

Precisely. So much absolute shit around then. House and it's various offshoots was no longer interesting to me, it had gone back inside and the same old suburban club conventions - dressing up, drinking, more coke than E - were starting to become the norm. (OK, with the odd notable exception).

Leftfield, Underworld and Orbital were just about the only thing interesting in 'Electronic' music for me. Oasis took all the Creation bands I'd been into 6/7 years previously and tore it all up, the 'Indie band manifesto' - being coy and saying fuck all in the press, not wanting to sell more than ten records, not wanting to be massive....

Aside from Primal Scream I guess who always said they wanted to be huge (as did The Jesus and Mary Chain before them) and I suppose they did get big with Screamadelica, but even that wasn't household massive.

I remember hearing the demo version of Cigarettes and Alcohol and thinking 'Fuck me, they've distilled it all, every bit of it'

Oh look it’s Keith and Alex and Damien.

If anyone is still interested in oasis, I just got sent this, detailing how they copied most of their ‘hits’:

And the wonder stuff

As a 15yo I really liked the Eight Legged Groove Machine

From being on wikipedia to see what year it was released I have just learnt that Miles Hunt used to be married to Mary Anne Hobbes

I was still listening to The Cure, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, The RHCP, the Manics when Oasis came along and didn't really get the hype. Found them kind of meh. Not good, not bad, just not for me. They did become a cultural phenomenon rather for the style and attitude rather than the music I'd say.

Re. electronic music: Wot no Chemical Brothers?

100% the worst three people.

Poor MAH.

That Neil Kulkarni oasis article is savage. True, but savage.

They were alright as a band but nothing to write home about.

Interesting (no sarcasm) hearing these annexdotes from my close predecessors.

I always felt a bit like I missed the boat and was nostalgic for earlier times, instead of making do with grimy dnb raves populated by shaven headed men with earrings chewing their cheeks out.

Ha, I honestly forgot I was in the meme thread.

the most sensitive and humourless fans pop music created.

Cough

Should I feel flattered or insulted?

I liked Song to the Siren they did as the Dust Brothers, but never really got into them after that
