Was this the last time rock music truly mattered as a major

The 90s alt-rock/grunge trend maybe

>>72830104
Until I drop my album, yes

late 2000's when indie music went mainstream, embraced selling out, and went down in flames.

let me take you back to a more quirkier time my idot friend who doesnt remember 7 years ago

This. The White Stripes even went Top 40 a couple years before that

being used as nondescript background music in ads and quirky romantic comedies doesn't really measure up to the britpop/blur v. oasis mania doe
the former was passive and laregly ignored, the latter was a major concern
people were debating the merits of blur and oasis the same way they debated about sports and politics
it was a pretty big deal among normies and "indie" types alike at the time

I still remember Oasis humiliating Michael Hutchence at the 1996 Brit awards and my mum being appalled at the Gallaghers' antics like it was yesterday.
What a time to be alive.

tbf Hutchence started it by saying INXS' new album was going to blow Oasis out of the water, and also more importantly, there was a picture knocking about at the time of Liam's then-missus with her hand down his leather trousers

So, is /mu/ a Blur board or an Oasis board anyway?

Depends on where you lived at the time.

>UK and Europe

Sure.

>The US

Nah, nobody gave a fuck about Britpop over there. Even Oasis didn't manage to score more than like 3 or 4 hits in America.

all thanks to Liam going out of his way to sabotage the band every time they attempted to break America
