>it's shit and nobody cares
>the music press negatively compares you to The Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Happy Mondays as a shitty pop band who is trying to make a generic version of "real" music and capitalize on it (think Muse to Radiohead, Mumford & Sons to all other indie folk)

>get mad at the negative reception your band is getting
>instead of stop being shit you decide to spend the next year telling everyone how you loathe American culture and it's all the fault of America and grunge that you're not being treated like the fucking second coming of The Beatles

Blur are fucking shit. Even Oasis are better

Fuck u cunt faggot.

>>68940960
Oasis sucks shit, I totally agree.

itt: anally annihilated americans

Can't speak for the UK, but in Seattle the were shilled so fucking hard by Marco Collins it was painful, even though no one I knew wass at all interested in them.

Collins was a DJ at 107.7 which was a nationally looked to alternative station that 'broke grunge' or whatever and he had previously played the hell out of Veruca Salt and got them signed and national airplay.

Whether he was responsible or just early on the bandwagon, they got airplay (lots) and acclaim (never quite saw why myself) but in my experience never had a fan base the way Radiohead or Sonic Youth did, without the shilling

Oasis had an opportunity to take over America right after morning glory but they didn't care about cracking there...
they were young and loving what they were doing without being manipulated by record/media moguls... they had their own integrety and wouldn't be forced to do fuck all

>>68940960
FUCK.OFF

Oasis have AS MANY number one hits in the UK as the Rolling Stones and you don't see this shit bait about the rolling stones ever. Kill yourself blurfag

Go back to being a poseur

I legitimately see nothing wrong with this post. In fact, I agree with it.

uhh I don't really care if you like them or not but they were huge back in the day, a lot of people liked them
