Muse and I would’ve said queen as above both majorly overrated and irritating to go with it. Muse - definitely over rated. And Radiohead. Suddenly thought they were far better than they were and released some massively shit music.

Britpop. Just saying it makes me angry. There's never been a more manufactured 'movement' in the history of music. I remember at the time people lamenting the fact that it had been a long time since any new sub-genre of music had emerged and citing examples such as punk, new wave and even the New Romantics and wishing and wondering what the next big thing would be. It seems they weren't prepared to wait as they simply took what had hitherto been known as 'Indie', uninventively called it 'Britpop' and started banging on about how great this stuff was and how lucky we all were to be living through it.
It reached peak stupidity at around the time it was decided that this contrived creation of longing conversations between the febrile, forty-something adolescents in the canteens and offices of the NME and Q needed a 'Godfather'. They picked on Ray Davies. The dozy bastard answered the call and did interview after interview about how nice it was to be recognised and even mentioned his 'legacy'. Ray, mate, it's not real. It never was but thanks for the interview and maybe you can present an 'Icon' award at one of our self-serving and irrelevant awards dos, yeh?
Britpop. Never existed and it just created band after band that couldn't hold a candle to the ones that populated the genre before it was ripped off, repackaged and force fed to fuckwits like foie gras geese.
With all of the above in mind I'm putting up for hatred the two flagship bands of this earthshaking, never-to-be-forgotten era: Blur and Oasis. These two titans of toytown even had a fake sales-boosting rivalry to give the old HMV trip an edge; like voting in X-Factor but with hard cash. Pounds not pence per minute. And they bought the shit in droves.
Oasis
I've posted this before on C&B but their songs sound like the product of a primary school poetry competition and the guitar work is so basic it's cringeworthy. The whole fake attitude and rock star persona that Liam especially adopts is also a childlike interpretation of what a rock star should look and act like but ends up coming across as a dimwit's pastiche. From the ridiculous gait through the forced couldn't-give-a-fuck attitude right up to the clichéd sunglasses indoors this chump ticks all the boxes. Add to this the fact that Noel can't sing for shit and that they've never had an original idea in all the time they were acting as a musical crap factory and there's not much left that you could call a band.
Here's Noel's most overwrought, self-indulgent bag of wank for you to hate:
Blur
Christ these guys were awful. They were shit then and, when you listen to them now, they haven't aged well at all. So many silly ditties sung in Damon's mock Cockney accent that would make Dick Van Dyke wince. Parklife? What the fuck is that about? Girls and Boys also never made no sense to me; what is it supposed to be? It's a droning, repetitive mess that has nothing to say for itself.
Blur sounded like a band who knew this 'phenomenon' wasn't going to last long and the best strategy was to milk it for all it was worth while they could. With this in mind they churned out song after song at a rate that would shame Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Needless to say, quality took a back seat. At one point they took to making a record mocking a producer's decision to up sticks and move out of London. The resulting 'hilarious' private joke became the smash hit single 'Country House'. Sadly it's about as funny as it is good.
Pretentious dogshit beloved of bespectacled students who love them simply because the mention of Balzac gives them the chance to bask in the glow of intellectual superiority that naturally follows when one hears and recognises such a highbrow reference.
Here's Dick Van Dyke's deaf cousin in full effect:
Britpop? Fuck off.

Compared to those two? Probably.
A lad I know went to a Frank and The Walters gig and got right up to the front. At one point during the performance Frank was singing at the front of the stage with one foot on a low piece of equipment and the other on the floor, right above this lad's head. He reached up and, calm as you like, gently squeezed one of Frank's gonads before carrying on as if nothing had happened. Frank was livid and refused to carry on until the culprit was found and ejected. He had to leave.

I'm with you here Hob. Hated the whole Britpop movement. I liked the music when it was unpopular then these dicks came along and pinched my scene and made it shit. Dickheads turning up to gigs. All these Stone Roses 'fans' going to the reunion gigs for a £100 a ticket. Mugs pretending that they were into them back then.
